The house had lots of character, and plenty of space for our group of 6. It snowed twice during our stay, and there was a shovel and ice melt available. We left, and when we returned the driveway and walkways had been cleared. It truly could sleep 10 and everybody be comfortable. The host was very responsive, and the amenities were more than expected. When in the area again we will certainly stay again. Thanks for the hospitality.

We had a great time at the Gains House. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and close for walking downtown Royal Oak also close to a market for food items. The house is clean, comfortable and has a great location if you need to hop onto the highways for traveling around. I would definitely stay here in any future travels to Michigan!

Great time in Royal Oak/Detroit

Had a nice stay! My family was able to spread out and enjoy the space and watch a movie together in the comfy family room. Helpful labels on everything and well-stocked kitchen for essentials and good coffee. Hosts very responsive and helpful. Great feel from Olive's in Ferndale and easy access by car to many areas of metro Detroit.

Great house in great location!

Our family came to town to celebrate a relative’s birthday. We truly enjoyed our stay in the home. There was plenty of room for all 9 of us (6 adults and three teenagers). Everything was super clean and comfortable. Checkin was easy. Matt, the host, was very helpful. The location is perfect - close proximity to downtown Royal Oak, which has tons of shops and restaurants. Streets and sidewalks are great for running/walking. We’d highly recommend and will stay here again next time we’re in the area!

Great little spot!

My husband and I took the kids to Royal Oak for some shopping and to catch up with friends. Everyone really enjoyed how cozy the house felt, and we all agreed the beds were super comfy! It's located in the cutest neighborhood—very safe and just a short distance from downtown. I especially loved the "stone living room" because it was incredibly cozy and inviting. While it was a bit cold, my husband and I still enjoyed sitting in the back yard every once in a while as well. We’ll definitely be back to stay here on our next visit!***Matt was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with.

Gains House is a cute home located in a quiet Royal Oak neighborhood. The only drawback was a spotty internet connection. Matt tried to help me troubleshoot the issue over the phone, but it continued to be a problem. Aside from that, all my expectations were exceeded.

Perfect for family

Super nice house in a super nice neighborhood. Plenty of parking and space. 6 adults had no problems with running into each other or taking showers. Nicely appointed. Beds were fantastic. Cleaner than most 4 or 5 star hotels that I've ever stayed in. Plenty of space for kids. Excellent communication from the owner. If you aren't familiar with the area it's nice and you'll feel safe. Walking distance to downtown royal oak, the fresh approach market is also excellent and within walking distance. Rent this one, you'll be glad you did. We'll rent this place again in the future for sure.
