My family greatly enjoyed our stay here using it as a home base to visit Niagara Falls, Detroit, Cuyahoga Valley NP, and Indiana Dunes State/NP. Each evening returning to the property felt like coming home. The neighborhood was even a great place to go for a daily walk with the Red Oak Nature Center walking paths just a street over. Also very conveniently located when we visited the zoo and a Tigers game. Highly recommend!!!

We had a group of four business colleagues that had a two day business conference and were in need of overnight lodging. It was a great location, easy to find, lots of room to relax and sleep, and having the coffee supplies all ready for them in the morning was a happy bonus for them,. Thank you Shu & Christine for the use of your home!
