Great property in a great location

Experience beginning to end was really good. Unlike a lot of properties, this one wasn't over-represented by staged photos. Clean, roomy, comfortable and well-room in a great spot.

This property was exactly what we were looking for for a getaway close to tons of fun things. This house is gorgeous inside and out, with plenty of beds and space for fun and gathering. The host was wonderful and we had a blast. The location also couldn’t be beat!

Couldn’t have asked for a more perfect location and setting for our small family get together. Everything we needed was there, including nice “extra” touches around every corner. I’m so glad we booked this house. We’ll do it again, for sure!

Excellent!

This house is extremely accommodating! The living areas are very spacious. There’s nothing needed in the kitchen. If your weather is good, you’ve got to take advantage of the backyard. We built a fire in the fire pit and played cornhole. It was so great to have four bathrooms for eight people. The primary bedroom upstairs is huge! If you have a baby or toddler, a pack and play, baby gates are provided. A great house that I will certainly recommend to others.

AMAZING stay

I have to say this was probably our best VRBO experience. Colby was a fabulous host. Replied to messages, answered any questions we had, gave great food recommendations. The house was in amazing shape. Decorated so so nicely. Pictures were spot on! The location was perfect for us. We were there for a wedding in downtown Detroit with activities planned in Birmingham and they were all close Uber rides. No issues getting Ubers either. Thank you so much for having us Colby!

Family gathering for wedding

My family of 10 stayed here for my nieces wedding. The home was beautiful. There was plenty of space for everyone and enough bathroom space for everyone to get ready. The 3 teenage kids shared the basement space which had its own bathroom with a shower. The beds were comfortable. The neighborhood was great with nice sidewalks for morning walks. A small park with tennis courts was walkable. The kitchen was well stocked and great for gathering. The house was great!! Would definitely stay again.

Lovely home. Book it.

We booked this home for a cousin's reunion during NFL Draft week. This house had everything we needed. Location is perfect, easy on and off the freeway. We enjoyed the backyard and fire pit. Traffic makes it a little loud, but the yard is fenced in and private. Lots of space in the home and beautifuly decorated. We had a great time and the host was great too. Book it. You won't regret it.

Weekend back in MI to visit parents/family

Family and friends gathered back home in MI for a couple different family functions over the weekend. The house was perfect, as pictured but larger than expected with a wonderful amount of space. House was clean and kitchen and laundry were well stocked. Colby is a great host, with clear check in instructions and was easily accessible for questions. The backyard was also a pleasant space to hang out day and night. I would only have 2 recommendations; more hangers in the guest rooms and the rug in the family room was shedding somewhat. These were minor issues and didn’t affect the stay at all in a negative way. Just something that the next guests might benefit from. Oh also, the beautiful hydrangeas in bloom were also a pleasant surprise to greet us upon arrival.

Stunning place

My girls and I needed a place to get ready the day of for my wedding and this was the perfect place. House was just gorgeous so it made it perfect for our getting ready photos. Beds were extremely comfortable, and having 3 bathrooms was a plus, as you know how long girls take to get ready. The place was so clean, spacious and had everything you need. I would give this place 10 stars if I could but 5 is the max.
