About the host
Hosted by The Writers Retreat
When Dave and Lisa met in Detroit some time ago, it was immediately apparent that they found something extraordinary, so they wanted to embody that essence in their home and share it with those who travel to this incredible place.
They are writers, lovers of great literature, and habitual fans of a fantastic city.

Why they chose this property
We both love the hustle and bustle of downtown, yet we crave and feel restored by this hideaway just beyond the Detroit city limits.
We love the tree-lined streets, stunning architecture, lovely entertainment, and great restaurants that are a quick 3-5 minute car ride to the downtown strolls of all the Grosse Pointe neighborhoods.
