Who would’ve guessed you could have a stay in a wooded area in metro Detroit where we saw a deer, an owl, and turkeys in our yard.

Where do I start? Everything about this spot and the hosts was amazing. It really is a sanctuary. We loved every minute hanging out in the backyard (understatement calling it a bkyrd), watching the birds and all the animals. Felt like we were in a Disney production. The house had everything! It was incredibly charming, with tons of curated books and art. It's nostalgic in the best of ways. You will not regret staying at this slice of heaven. We can't wait to be back

Everything about our stay was perfect. It's listed as the sanctuary and thats exactly what it is, a hidden gem that makes you feel far from the city. I also can't say enough about the Richard and Jeanne, they really know how to make you feel welcome. Thanks for the great stay! We'll be back!

We stayed for 2 weeks in the peaceful surroundings at the Sanctuary Inn. The house is well equipped with everything we needed for cooking, laundry, entertainment and comfort. This was our 3 time staying at the property and we will be back again.

We rented the Sanctuary to have a welcoming place to be able to spend Christmas with family in Detroit. It was perfect. The hosts loaned us some Christmas decorations and we put up a Christmas tree. The flock of wild turkeys was a bonus. We will stay there again when visiting family in Detroit.

We stayed in this pleasant home surrounded by trees and nature. Our hosts were great: friendly and very accommodating, wonderful people. This was our third time staying with them. It's like staying in someone's cool home while they're out. It's not too fussy but comfortable for a family. There's a big dining room table which is great for playing games or making a puzzle. It's nice in the summer, too, and you can enjoy the backyard more then. We saw turkeys, deer, and squirrels. It's cozy during the winder and you can pull up a chair at the gas fireplace to enjoy its warmth. We enjoyed our stay and it's a nice quiet neighborhood. A good find!

This property is ideally located to many sites and activities in the Detroit area. The deer greet you upon arrival and throughout the day and night! Jeanne and Richard were very responsive and provided and extra key seeing we were two couple on different schedules, as well as instructions on how the hot water value works side to side (who knew!) A very pleasant stay.

Property is very quiet as it is off the proverbial beaten path. That said it is convenient for expressway traveling to and from the city. The house is older but comfortable. Beds were good. TV is a big screen and easy to use. No dishwasher was a surprise

It is just a fantastic location. It is so surrounded by trees with a big lot of its own and there are woods all around it. You wouldn’t think of it when you are driving there…but then you are in your own little sanctuary.
The place itself is also wonderful. Spacious and well stocked. Lovely rooms and lovely living room with a fireplace and huge windows looking out to the trees on the back. We ENJOYED a thunderstorm with the fire on and what fun!
Hosts are both gracious and available and ready with info and anything you might need. Not intrusive either. Just a nice balance.
Many many thanks!!! I knew as we drove up that the place was going to be delightful. And it was.
Some really nice books too!

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.

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.

This property was in the perfect location. Short, easy drive to most attractions in the Detroit/Dearborn area. The hosts were excellent communicators and answered questions immediately. Check in/out was a breeze. Would definitely reserve again if we decide to go back to this area.

This was the ultimate Michigan place to stay. The house was so inviting, warm, cozy, it felt familiar, was so complete and had easy to understand features and experiences. The hosts couldn't have been more congenial. A perfect 10 from start to finish.

What a lovely home! We loved the 1950s furnishings and huge windows looking out on trees, deer and turkeys. Jeanne and Richard were very accommodating and friendly. The house is incredibly well stocked-- so many extra pillows, blankets, cookware, games, books, etc. Everything you need! The location is perfect for access to freeways to Detroit and roads to other suburbs. We hope to stay again next time we visit family.

Our hosts were very welcoming, helpful and accommodating ! The house was all we had hoped for and was described perfectly. Truly a great piece of property, and literally a "hidden" gem in the outskirts of Detroit. A great place for those looking for privacy, and a buffer from the city. Would highly recommend !

The home was so close to everything we wanted to see and do in the Detroit and surrounding area! And with a beautiful setting as a bonus, we never felt like we were staying "in the city". The house had everything you could possibly need, including some of the things you're likely to forget to bring along!
Highly recommended and will definitely book again if we're going to be back in the area.

The hosts and house were the best I have ever encountered in my life ... delightful acccommodations and grounds, easy access to 696 and friendly nearby host Jeanne ... A wonderful week included a Tigers game, Detroit Zoo and Aquarium with Rain Forest Cafe. We really enjoyed this rental house experience.
