Adorably Quaint

What an awesome little home! I traveled here with girlfriends for a shopping trip. This home met all our needs with easy access and awesome accommodations. All the feels… 1. Matt is super attentive! He checked in with me several times and was very responsive. 2. There are nice extras provided such as bath products, and coffee and tea. 3. The home is beautiful and very well kept and super clean. 4. The beds were very comfortable! We all slept exceptionally well. 5. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet with nice local food options. We would definitely stay here again!

Vintage Royal Oak beauty!

When we were picking a Detroit vacation rental, we wanted a location that was safe, quiet and friendly. This area goes beyond that. It's idyllic. There are folks walking their dogs along the sidewalks, kids playing ball in the yards, neighbors mowing with nearly silent electric mowers, houses decorated for Halloween halfway through September. An ice cream truck went by. The house layout would be quirky in a new house, but is perfect for the 30's vibe - which has thankfully been maintained even as the place has been tastefully updated so that everything works. We can't wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Matt Borton

Owner of Willow Dwellings.

I grew up in the Mitten (that's the state of Michigan) and love to travel. My first international trip was to Kenya and I have loved traveling ever since. I have fished for piranhas in Ecuador, learned Chinese in Beijing and developed software in Germany.

At work I am a software engineering manager in the automotive industry. I love solving problems and working with others to improve an organization.

I have two lovely daughters and a beautiful wife that also like to go on adventures with me. With young children and the pandemic I've had to learn to bring the adventure home. I love cooking authentic ethnic dishes and bringing new flavors into our house.

I started Willow Dwellings as an outlet for these passions. I know what it's like to stay at an awesome place and I work to continually improve the experience for our guests.
