Great location in Indian Village area. Beautiful restored 1903 mansion of 16,000 square feet. exquisitely furnished with period furniture and paintings. Close to rverything Detroit had to offer. We stayed two nights and will definitely be coming back. Rachel was such a great host and proudly gave my wife and I a tour of the house. We loved every minute of our stay. Large and comfortable room with a super comfortable bed. You’ll love this one of a kind bed and breakfast.

First and foremost, the desk host was rude. The rules on the hotels app doesn’t add up to what she said. The rooms were extremely cold and she wasn’t very welcoming

Great place to stay!

The house is absolutely beautiful! It's probably my fault for not reading correctly, but I thought there would be a full breakfast (there was coffee, fruit and pastries) and that the pub in the basement was open (private parties only). Our room (Aster) was uncomfortably warm, but the rest of the building was nice and cool. A fan in the room would have helped. Getting into the building late at night was a challenge as the door lock system could be improved. Beautiful architecture and history in this place!

Great romantic weekend stay

Had a wonderful stay at the Frederick Stearns property. The owners Eric & Rachel went above & beyond to make our stay perfect! They gave us a tour of the lovely historic home & even made special mimosas for us for our anniversary during breakfast which was delicious. Our room was very comfortable & large. While sitting in our room (Aster) I did notice quite a bit of dust under the bed which could possibly cause issues for those with allergies. Other than that, the room & home were spotless! I definitely highly recommend a stay at this beautiful property.
