Perfection!
We flew our mother-in-law in for a special family weekend, and this property exceeded all our expectations. From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by the charming neighborhood, the beautifully decorated space, and the exceptional cleanliness. The hosts have thoughtfully provided everything you could possibly need—and more. Their attention to detail truly made our stay comfortable and stress-free. I can’t recommend this property highly enough. Whether you’re planning a family gathering or a quiet retreat, this is the perfect place to create lasting memories.

Quick Business Trip in Detroit
We had a group of four business colleagues that had a two day business conference and were in need of overnight lodging. It was a great location, easy to find, lots of room to relax and sleep, and having the coffee supplies all ready for them in the morning was a happy bonus for them,. Thank you Shu & Christine for the use of your home!
