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.

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!

Great house for family

We stayed at the Pleasant Ridge property over the Thanksgiving holiday. The house was very comfortable for our family of eight and exceeded our expectations. Colby was a wonderful host and we hope to return some day.

We had a nice stay and Colby was very friendly and welcoming. The house had everything we needed and was comfortable and secure. We enjoyed seeing the bunny outside in the backyard each morning. Thanks for a great place for our home base while visiting nearby family!

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.

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.

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.

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.

Bridal Party Stay

This space was perfect for my bestfriends wedding/bridal party. There were enough beds/bedrooms to accommodate us and there were more than enough bathrooms and plenty of towels. We had so much space we didn't even use the basement. On the day of my bestfriends wedding, our makeup artist was able to use the big dining room table/area to do our makeup and it was great lighting. There was still enough space for us to move around and not be on top of each other. The brides room was perfect for her. The checkin/out process was easy, the host was very responsive during our stay and it was easy to go in/out of the property. This is right near Royal Oak and the freeway so we were able to get to places super quickly. We had a great stay and can't wait to do it again.

Beautiful, spacious home in Pleasant Ridge.

Highly recommend! This home is gorgeous! ADORABLY decorated - looks like the West Elm catalogue. Tons of beautiful space to gather, make/have dinner, get ready (3 bathrooms) and just enjoy. Great location as well. We got to an event in Bloomfield Hills in 15 mins, right up the highway! The property manager was a delight...attentive and helpful.

We rented the property to be home base for the bridal party of our son's wedding. We appreciated the space and convenience of the layout. Unfortunately, the host messaged us very late the last night of our stay that the city would we working on the sewers very early the next morning. So we had to get up early just to use the toilets and everyone had to travel home without showers. We did get a small rebate back on the price, but given the inconvenience and late notice, we feel it should have been more.Also, there is no typical coffeepot and when we messaged the host about it, he was slow to respond because he was travelling. We ended up ordering in Starbuck's delivery the morning of the wedding as we needed caffeine!Finally when we opened the oven, someone had left stale pizza on a cookie sheet in there.While the house overall was very nice, the combination of the above issues would make me hesitant to book again.I will note that, based on previous ratings and reviews, this does seem like an aberration for the property.
