Comfortable home not far from Detroit.
We stayed here to experience the NFL Draft in Detroit. The location was perfect and was settled into a quiet neighborhood. Everything we needed was available to make the place a comfortable stay.

Step back in time
This spacious listing presented itself at the perfect time. The hosts were responsive to initial inquiries to include check in. The landscape presented a wonderful backdrop and scenery for this space so close to Detroit. The kitchen and bathroom decor match the furniture and rest of the house furniture. In house laundry made it easy to travel light. A misunderstanding presented itself on check in with kitchen housekeeping. Delayed communication on kitchen upkeep, items found in the refrigerator, and trash instructions upon arrival led to an uncomfortable situation until resolved through text messages with Jeanne and Richard. We were grateful for the hospitality and beauty of this home. Its location allowed our family to handle our affairs in the short amount of time allowed in comfortable settings.

Comfortable Well-stocked home away from home
This property is in a quiet secluded area. It is comfortable and stocked with everything you might need from kitchen utensils and cookware, to books and games, to extra bedding to bathroom and laundry supplies. The hosts are very responsive and accommodating.

Perfect getaway!
We loved our time here at Sanctuary. What a lovely little get away just minutes away from major highways. Incredibly well stocked (the coffee grinder was appreciated), and the fireplace was so warm and cozy. We especially appreciated help with getting the pilot light re-started when we accidentally switched it off. We spent most of our time reading (what a fun selection in the bedroom), snuggling in front of the fire, and cooking together. They were super helpful when we forgot a jacket as well. Great hosts and a cozy space to share.

Cozy retreat
We enjoyed a cozy Christmas at this wonderful home. The fireplace was a highlight. This was our second trip to this great property. The house is comfortable and very well stocked with everything from pans to games. The hosts are very accommodating. We slept well in this nice quiet neighborhood.

Why they chose this property


Though it is accessible to numerous attractions, ( 15 minutes away) it is beautifully situated in a rustic, quiet and peaceful treed setting, with lots of room to walk, play and explore. (Almost 4 acres )
