AMAZING!!!!

First of all, let me just say Christi & Jeff are amazing. She had everything that was needed and/or required in the house. We wanted to extend our stay so badly, but we knew we had to leave. ☹️ You definitely have a gem right here. Wish you more success and definitely will be referring people whoever comes to the area. Thank you so much for amazing hospitality.

Perfect cozy getaway

My husband, three kids, and I truly enjoyed our stay at this cozy spot away from home. It was comfortable, convenient, and trendy. The amenities were a huge plus! Kids enjoyed the games and we enjoyed the books. The hosts were communicative, there were ample supplies in the kitchen and bathroom, and it was super quiet and just pleasant overall. I highly recommend this place! We will most likely be back :)

Cute bungalow with great amenities in Ferndale MI neighborhood!

Perfect house for a small group to stay in, with three bedrooms & two full bathrooms, and a quiet backyard, in a residential neighborhood in "Funky" Ferndale, Michigan! It's a short drive, or a walkable distance, to the many shops & restaurants in Ferndale. We loved the diversity of the locally owned restaurants in Ferndale. And we loved the locally owned shops too! Perfect for a weekend getaway!

Great stay in hip location

Everything was as advertised. Clear communication with owner. No issues. Everything we needed was there. Check in/out was no hassle. Ferndale is a really cool trendy location - it's not too far from downtown and only a couple of blocks from the main drag of Woodward. Would definitely recommend and if we make it back to Detroit, I will stay here again!

Absolutely recommend! 10/10!

My husband and I, plus another couple, were in town for a weekend tournament at the Detroit Curling Club, which is conveniently about 5 minutes away. In my search for a place to stay I noticed that this one has 2 full bathrooms, which is ideal for 2 couples. Pretty much everywhere is else only 1 or 1.5. The whole house is decorated so nicely, and it is very comfortable from the moment you walk in. There are 3 bedrooms, with the primary and a second in the front, and a third bedroom in the back of the house along with the second full bath. It's a great setup for 2 couples, since it really feels like everyone has their own space. We brought food to cook in the morning, and were surprised by how much is available in the kitchen! Plates, dishes, silverware of course, but also pots, pans, oven mits, utensils, cleaning products... There's even a super cute coffee station set up! There must have been families that have stayed here as well. We noticed some child friendly silverware, a few toys, some diapers... It's really nice that the hosts accommodate for families too. Overall we found the house very comfortable, very clean, and very easy. It's so close to downtown Ferndale, the highway, and the curling club. The check-in and check-out process was also super easy! I absolutely recommend staying here, and would 100% book it again! Thanks so much, Christi, for providing such a wonderful space!

Cozy Delight in Ferndale

We knew we were in for a special home-away-from-home as soon as we pulled into the driveway. The house was immaculate and decorated with both style and comfort in mind. Clearly the hosts know how to make guests feel welcome and pampered. And what a delight for our 6 and 3 year olds to have fun books, games, and other toddler-appropriate toys to enjoy! They were having such a good time in the house that we had to work to get them out the door for Legoland Discovery Center and the Michigan Science Center (both of which were so easy to reach from this wonderful Ferndale location). We hope this property is available again when our next visit is scheduled. Thank you to the hosts!

A cozy home with everything you need.

This home is clean and cozy and has everything you need. There is a cute coffee bar waiting for guests, bottled water in the fridge, and we felt immediately at home. The neighborhood is quiet. Even though it is close to railroad tracks we never heard the noise and we felt safe in this neighborhood. The owners really have thought of everything and there was plenty of space for our family of 4 (including 2 teenagers).

Perfect Stay

Christi's home was absolutely perfect! It had everything we needed for 3 couples and a baby and although it is a smaller home it doesn't feel like it at all. Having the high chair and toys made traveling with a little one so easy. Excellent location in a very quiet neighborhood but in walking distance to really cute restaurants. The house is very clean, newly renovated. Christi has thought of everything you might need. We loved our stay!

About the host

Your host

My husband (and co-host), Jeff, and I have enjoyed traveling to many different places in Europe and the United States- fast forward 10 years and now we spend our time a little bit differently with 3 children at home.
We both grew up in the beautiful Irish Hills & have lived in the Metro Detroit area for the last 14 years. We just can't seem to leave all the wonderful opportunities and activities this area has to offer.
We are dedicated to hosting a memorable experience while you stay in our home. Please contact me with any questions you may have.
Cheers!
