Detroit's Riverside Hideaway: Thoughtfully designed to bring everyone together.

Unwind at this unique and tranquil getaway in the city. This 1906 Canal Home has been thoughtfully designed to bring your group of friends or big family together. In the city, with secluded retreat vibes, it's the best of both worlds. Recognized by the Detroit News as one of Michigan's Dream Homes, there is plenty to enjoy inside and out.

Enjoy the novel and cozy inside spaces around every corner, with some cheeky European flare. You'll love the stand-out grand dining room with amusing decor and seating for 12. The kitchen is a kitschy, cozy space with high top seating for drinks and snacks with 2 walls of windows to overlook canal activity. The full kitchen with new smart appliances is ready for the serious chefs who want to cook some great meals for everyone at home.

The distinct bedrooms have green tea memory foam mattresses, darkening curtains, and smart TV’s for some peaceful alone time for those introverts who just need some space from all that gathering fun.

Step out one of the doors to the many outdoor gathering spaces. The front porch provides great views of the Detroit River. Two decks with seating and BBQ, pebble patio, yard + canal. The wrap around yard is surrounded by the canal and complete with yard games. Enjoy a backyard bbq on the deck and pebble patio with cafe lights for evening fun, watching the kayakers paddle by. Or for a more private gathering, enjoy the large side deck surrounded by trees. Sip your favorite beverage in the mornings on the front porch overlooking the Detroit River, watching the tanker ships pass by. Or bring your own boat and kayaks to launch just down the street for canal cruising, Detroit River and Lake St Clair access. Dock also available on the property.

There's plenty to do in the surrounding area. Just a few minutes to delicious dining, wine shops, kayak tours, children's bookstore, pizzeria, and brewery to name a few. And if you want to venture downtown, follow the river straight down Jefferson St.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2 bathrooms, and a patio, and there's space to spread out with 5 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Close to city

proximity to the city is nice, but you will need a way to get there. its not a walkable neighborhood to get to downtown, so just recognize that there are potential logistics on top of your stay here. the house is in good shape, beds were comfortable, and amenities were readily available. this is a great place to gather with a group and spend time together before getting out to the surrounding areas of Detroit and seeing what the city has to offer.

Great getaway, even off season!

Wow wow wow. This house is just super cool. There were 10 of us staying all together and there was plenty of room for everyone. Even though it was cold, it was still nice to be on the water and to walk across the street to the park. The restaurant next door is top notch, too. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anybody. Host Bobby was incredibly responsive and accomodating - and even left a delightful welcome card and gift basket. I really hope I can get 8 friends to go again, cause I would love to return!

Enjoyable stay!

The property, location and host were all amazing. They left a thoughtful care package with a personalized note. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed! Upon check out, I left my keys and the host was available upon contact and prompt in assisting. It was an inconvenience to him and he was still able to pleasantly assist. I would stay again! Thanks host!!

Great get away close to the Grosse Pointe and the Detroit

This beautiful home is situated on the canal that feeds into the Detroit River. The house is spotless with every amenity you could need. It's a short drive to Grossse Pointe and Detroit. All the bedrooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable. Bathrooms were big, water pressure good! Amazing kitchen, dining room and living room that was perfect for our extended families stay over Thanksgiving. Bobby was available and helpful for anything we needed. Highly recommend, would love to visit in summer too!
