The “Funky Fern” was exactly as described, cute and very clean. It had a great location close to restaurants, grocery stores, expressways and a very cute downtown area. Hosts were responsive and very helpful and they had it stocked with the most essentials and amenities of any place I have ever stayed! Definitely would rent again!

Lovely stay in Ferndale

We (2 kids, 2 parents, and 2 grandparents) had a lovely stay at this home in Ferndale. We were a bit concerned about the proximity to the railroad but ultimately it was a very quiet location. Everything was very clean, and the hosts have many thoughtful items available, including shampoo and conditioner, laundry detergent, and a variety of fun coffee fixings. There were also children's items and games. Walkable to downtown Ferndale and drivable to a lot of great Detroit attractions. The two full baths were great to have. Communication with the host was helpful and check-in was easy. Highly recommended. Also highly recommend a visit to the nearby apple fritter donut shop - so delicious!

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!

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 :)

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.

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!
