In the city, with secluded retreat vibes, it's the best of both worlds.

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 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!

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!

Movement weekend in Detroit

Stayed at Bobby's property and it was exactly what our group needed. We come every year for the music festival and the location is far enough out where quiet but still a quick drive to downtown, large enough to fit everyone, check in was easy, house was exactly as described. Would def stay here again.

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!!

About the host

Hosted by Bobby

Host profile image
I live locally, here in Detroit. It's such a vibrant city with rich history, and I'm inspired by the people living here or just coming to support the city.

Why they chose this property

This is such a sweet pocket in Detroit- It's a tranquil spot nestled on a technical island, but you can drive here. But it's still close to lots of happenings and walkable to an amazing restaurant and bar.

What makes this property unique

Truly one of a kind in this city. It's a big house that accommodates many people, and has so many peaceful, functional outdoor spaces. This is the spot to be when you want to be in the city, but feel like you're a little removed.
