Great house in great location
The house is very cute and comfortable! Neighborhood was great - quiet and close to things. Trundle bed with 2 twins was perfect for our kids. I wish the second bedroom had another queen size bed instead of a full size, but beds were really comfy and we'd definitely stay here again!
Enjoyed this beautiful home in a very nice neighborhood. Proximity to Ferndale restaurants and markets was terrific. Ferndale is such a pretty neighborhood, I felt very safe and loved all the well maintained older homes. For being so close to Detroit it was safe and an ideal location to head off in multiple directions. I recommend staying here to anyone, and will certainly come back again.

The location of this beautiful property was so excellent for us. I had two family members homes within walking distance and also a good friend. The house is unique and charming with a beautiful backyard. The beds were extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this property and will consider renting again when returning home.
