This property was in the perfect location. Short, easy drive to most attractions in the Detroit/Dearborn area. The hosts were excellent communicators and answered questions immediately. Check in/out was a breeze. Would definitely reserve again if we decide to go back to this area.

This was the ultimate Michigan place to stay. The house was so inviting, warm, cozy, it felt familiar, was so complete and had easy to understand features and experiences. The hosts couldn't have been more congenial. A perfect 10 from start to finish.

The home was very comfortable and well stocked with everything we needed. Our hosts were available to help and were quite responsive. The house is very private with lots of land and woods surrounding it. We saw deer and wild Turkey almost every day that we were there. We definitely plan to go back.

What a lovely home! We loved the 1950s furnishings and huge windows looking out on trees, deer and turkeys. Jeanne and Richard were very accommodating and friendly. The house is incredibly well stocked-- so many extra pillows, blankets, cookware, games, books, etc. Everything you need! The location is perfect for access to freeways to Detroit and roads to other suburbs. We hope to stay again next time we visit family.

Our hosts were very welcoming, helpful and accommodating ! The house was all we had hoped for and was described perfectly. Truly a great piece of property, and literally a "hidden" gem in the outskirts of Detroit. A great place for those looking for privacy, and a buffer from the city. Would highly recommend !

Place was very relaxing, quiet and comfortable. Would highly recommend

The home was so close to everything we wanted to see and do in the Detroit and surrounding area! And with a beautiful setting as a bonus, we never felt like we were staying "in the city". The house had everything you could possibly need, including some of the things you're likely to forget to bring along!
Highly recommended and will definitely book again if we're going to be back in the area.

We spent our days at The Henry Ford Museum & Greenfield Village. Evenings were spent in this charming home - tucked away from the bustle of the city. Relaxing. Welcoming. Comfortable.
5.0
The hosts and house were the best I have ever encountered in my life ... delightful acccommodations and grounds, easy access to 696 and friendly nearby host Jeanne ... A wonderful week included a Tigers game, Detroit Zoo and Aquarium with Rain Forest Cafe. We really enjoyed this rental house experience.

I've visited the greater Detroit area a number of times and had no clue a property like this one existed. "Sanctuary" is the perfect word! Large lot, quiet neighborhood, comfy beds, and a cozy living room. My only regret is not being able to spend more time at the house while we were there.
I would have no concerns recommending this property to others or staying here again myself.
5.0
The directions are perfect. Found the place no problem. Check in was a breeze. The home is clean and very comfortable. The location is secluded, yet close to everything. Food, shopping centers, pharmacy, groceries, gas stations, malls. The owners are quite friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay again!

We were in town for our eldest's graduation from Lawrence Tech. We could hardly believe we were still in Southfield! The Sanctuary Inn provided us a peaceful retreat from the chaos of graduation and moving our child out of the dorm. We would absolutely stay here again if in the area!

A delightful retreat amongst the trees. We’ll situated fire pit and comfortable chairs inside and outside.

We had an absolutely amazing time! The home was warm and very welcoming! The location was perfect with tons of land surrounding the home. My family had a great time and the children enjoyed playing outside and gathering around the fireplace. We will definitely be back! The hosts were also very nice and accommodating.

We loved staying here for the Christmas and New Year holidays! The house is at the end of a cul de sac with a big and private backyard. The gas fireplace is awesome and the living room is big with a large coffee table for games and puzzles. The kitchen and dining area are conducive for cooking and socializing. The home is fully stocked with whatever you may need. The owners are incredibly nice. We would rent this home again.

An amazing property that makes it hard to imagine bustling Detroit is only minutes away, A forest hideaway for wildlife & humans alike. Hosts are welcoming but give guests ample privacy. Highly recommend Ford Rouge Factory tour with excellent multi-media presentation & "catwalk" views of a working assembly line (F-150 pickups).

Beautiful, calming, private and charming. Loved the house, property and time spent enjoying the outdoor scenery and wildlife. Would definitely book again!

I came out here with a few friends to have a quiet weekend with a fire outside, but still wanted to be close to the city, so we can visit Eastern market and various breweries. This fit the bill to a T and then some! Great property owners, and, wonderful property - would do again!

We really loved our stay at your home! It was so clean and cozy! We especially loved seeing the deer in the yard every morning. Hopefully we will be able to make this an annual trip!

This property was amazing! I can only say great things about this property! Excellent, quiet, safe location, tucked away by the woods! Beautiful home! Comfortable and quiet! Reasonably priced! Deer in the yard everyday! You won’t be disappointed! Owners were super nice and helpful! The kind of people we would want as neighbors! Thank you so much Richard and Jeanne! We’ll definitely stay here again, when we’re in the Detroit area!

The first thing that attracted me to this property was the preserved Mid-Century Modern style. The original bathrooms, fireplace and entry doors were perfect examples of MCM design. The accommodations were super-comfortable and well-equipped. I can't say enough about the sights and sounds of wildlife that you just don't expect to encounter in close proximity to a major city.
The hosts were very pleasant and made sure all of our needs were met. I would recommend this rental to anyone and plan on staying here again in the future.

Serene Time in the Woods
We had a lovely stay in this secluded house charmingly furnished with interesting pictures and artwork. The house had everything we needed and provided a great view of the surrounding woods from the beautiful picture windows all throughout the house. We saw deer and wild turkeys! We could drive easily to our destinations and really enjoyed coming back to this comfy stay in the woods for our rest and relaxation.

Clean, Quiet, Perfect!!
We stayed here while visiting Detroit. Met my daughter and her boyfriend who we picked up at the airport. Also had my parents along. The house is 25 minutes from the Detroit airport. There was plenty of room for all 6 of us. The yard is huge and a super quiet neighborhood. You do not need to bring anything but your clothes to this place, it has everything!!! If ever returning to Detroit I would book my trip around the availability of this place, loved it!!

A Sanctuary Indeed!
This is such a lovely house! We were in town for a music festival and we needed a comfortable place to decompress and refresh. This home was everything we had hoped for and more. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well stocked, and the entire house was full of cool art. I particularly enjoyed the diverse lighting options in each room- I could always get it just right for maximum relaxation. The back yard is spectacular as well. I am looking forward to returning with my son because it is at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in a quiet neighborhood. There are a bunch of kids riding bikes around and I'm sure he would like to play with them. I also recommend this place if you are in the area for business. There is a desk in the master bedroom in front of a huge window- it would be a pleasure to get some work done sitting there! It is easy to hop on the Lodge Freeway and we could zip downtown in 15 minutes. The owners live next door and they put a lot of care and love into this place. We had forgotten a few things and we were delighted to find that they had thoughtfully provided all sorts of miscellaneous items. Thank you to Jeanie and Richard for the hospitality!!! We loved staying at the house and we can't wait to come back!!!

We have two VRBO rental properties and so we're always a bit extra critical when we stay somewhere. And, we thought that our units were well stocked, but this one takes the cake! It has everything that one would need for a comfortable stay.
Here is what we especially liked:
- Beautiful location that is convenient to Detroit locations but feels like it's out in the country. Shopping is conveniently nearby too.
- Roomy for socializing/dining, and extra comfy to enable relaxing and enjoying that late night bottle (or two, or...) of wine.
- Beautiful yard for sitting/relaxing...we didn't get to use the fire pit, but we had hoped to. They provide fire wood for a charge, but we bought some at Kroeger for $6 (which sadly we left for the next visitor due to the rain).
- Tons of extra towels and linens, and needed supplies.
Bottom line: We'd stay again in a heart beat!
