The Lumber Baron's Mansion: 2 King Suites, 2.5BA + Gym

Clean. Spacious. Extremely well stocked. High end appliances. Superbly decorated. Quiet. Comfortable. Very cool neighborhood that’s close to everything. No more than a mile to downtown. Walkable to Little Caeser’s/Pistons NBA arena. Easy in and out. Great communication. Probably my favorite VRBO to date. We’ll definitely be back. Our daughter is in school at UDM. This will be our new home away from home😃

Very clean and beautiful. Host was very responsive. We had people above us that came in about 1am and woke around 5am. We could hear everything. When we were leaving, at checkout 11am there were 3 vehicles all trying to get in blocking our way out in the alley.I didn't understand that, as we couldn't check in until 4pm

The property was very clean and well-kept, and we felt very safe in the building. It is notable that the second bedroom (with the exercise equipment) is downstairs and can get chilly, and opens up into the hallway (but with a locked door for safety). The towels and sheets could use upgrading, but the other amenities (pour over coffee, espresso machine, shampoo/conditioner, etc.) were very good quality.

Great place but parking is a bit of an issue.

This place was beautiful and clean. Easy check in and out process. We were unable to cancel our booking and the host denied our dates to reschedule although our friend had a death in the family and had to plan the funeral. The cancellation would’ve given us only half of our monies back. That was quite stressful but the host was very kind over the phone but very unaccommodating. Almost seemed like he was nervous to allow us to stay there. We even asked if it was okay to allow her family to have the location for the repast and was told 6 people were the maximum allowed to visit although the site showed a 15 maximum was allowed. The site had various options available like three bedrooms for this location and events and parties allowed. It was unfortunate to find out that AFTER you book, things were different. There are only two bedrooms and they look nice but the location sleeps 6. I guess the sofa was third bed. In addition, we were charged $25 for each guest above 2 who stayed the night. There was going to be six of us initially and only 5 stayed the night, therefore when booking we were charged an extra $100 for 4 additional guests beyond the two. Unfortunately, we were not refunded the extra $25 for a guest who didn’t stay. Be aware of this. Also, VRBO homes usually allow you to have access to an entire home but this is a condo with 6 total condos in one building. There is only one parking space in the rear. The rest of us parked on the street.

The location was awesome! Walking distance to almost everything. Lots of shops and restaurants to walk to and we were able to walk to the Redwings game as well. There was a parking spot for us and the building is safely secure. Would definitely stay again.

Overall, this is an excellent property. We enjoyed our stay and the location was perfect for coming to town to see a show at Little Caesars Arena. The biggest pro was location, followed by how easy it was to access the rental and all the communication the owners provided. A few notes though that I wish I had been aware of: The unit is two floors, the main floor housing the master bedroom and the downstairs offering the second bedroom. The downstairs bedroom leads right out into the hallway--just a simple deadbolt separating the hallway from the sleeping humans. I would not have preferred this a mom and traveling with kids. Also the bathroom down there is split--one room has a shower, one room just the way down the hall is the toilet. Not a huge deal, obviously but not how I understood it to be before we arrived. Also, the peloton does not have cages like the owners suggested, just the plain pedal coverings so if you plan to use it, you need to know this. Lastly, and maybe the biggest thing for us was how noisy it was. In the master bedroom you could hear entire conversations going on in the apt above--the talking, walking across the floors and even a phone vibrating were all things that woke us up or kept us awake. This is not neccesarily the fault of the owner but should be noted. Did it make our stay or experience poor? It did not. Would it have been a big deal to me if I had been traveling with other people? maybe. I would still give this listing 5 stars.

This property was amazing for my group of 4 - my husband, me, our son, and his girlfriend. The high ceilings made it especially welcoming and bright. Everything was spotless and decorated down to small details like the amazing smelling diffusers in the bathrooms and the beautiful, real plants. Perfect location with 10 minute walk to the Tigers game and 15 minute walk to breakfast the next morning. Private parking space behind also extra convenient. We are already talking about going back!

Everything was great. We had a few interior mess ups that were already there and wanted to make sure we would not be charged for said damage. Everything was easy to use and I loved the multiple bathrooms no one had to wait to use it. The extra exit in the lower room was cool if you needed to leave out without bothering anyone else. Overall I would recommend it to others.

Tastefully renovated late 1800s mansion. Off street parking spot. High end linens on a super comfy beds. Fantastic furnishings, art and even a pour over coffee maker! What a nice treat. Little Caesar’s practically in the back yard, restaurants, bars, theaters, Lions & Tigers all within walking distance. What a gem.

We enjoyed Detroit very much!! This location was a short walk to the Masonic Temple. The unit was very clean. The real plants are a great touch. The host is very responsive.

The property could not have been more perfect. It was clean and comfortable with high end furnishings. We walked everywhere as the location was perfect for seeing the downtown area and going to Comerica Field. Would rent again in the future and recommend to anyone visiting Detroit!

The restoration of this home is beautiful. Unit was tastefully decorated, immaculate, and well stocked. Within walking distance to all three stadiums. Will definitely seek out this when attending next event.

This property was very clean and spacious! Loved all the art included. Thank you for a great experience

This was perfect for a short walk to Little Caesars Arena for an event. The mansion is very spacious, updated, and clean. It was exactly what was expected and as advertised. We enjoyed our stay.

Was very roomy and very comfortable. The beds was amazing shower pressure was great. Very clean place inside out. Thank you very much

Our stay was pleasant and the location couldn't be beat! The house was in great shape and clean while communication with the host was smooth and easy.

What an awesome stay! The king beds were comfy, the place was clean, and it was walking distance to everything we needed! The finishes are high end and it was worth every penny. Would definitely come back and stay again to watch Detroit sports (hopefully the next time they win)!

This condo is stunning and very well appointed. We were there a little over a week with our son and daughter in law. The living areas are very attractive and spacious and very comfortable. Loved the king beds, and the kitchen with all the amenities. Also, the location is great . You can walk to fantastic restaurants, stadiums etc, with easy access to the whole tri-county area by car. We will certainly go back again

I wish I could give this property and the owner more stars. The property is beautiful with high end touches, even uses the same dish and hand soap I do at home. It is centrally located to all of the arenas, stadiums, and restaurants in Detroit. Communication with the owner was excellent and personal. I will stay at this property again!

I stayed here with my dog and 80 yo parents and it was so easy to get around - whether that be to the Whole Foods or the GM Ren Cen for the wedding we were attending. The was very communicative throughout the process and always responded promptly.

Stayed here for 21 Pilots. Short walk to arena. Really nice home. Well decorated and very modern. Absolutely, amazing owners.

We have stayed here on many occasions for baseball games or concerts, as always host was extremely easy to work with and the accommodations are excellent as well! We live it here and will definitely be back again.

We came in for an overnight stay for a Tiger game. The location is convenient for sporting event or concert. The house it beautiful and very well maintained. Communication with the host was extremely easy and they were very accommodating. This is our second stay here and we will definitely be back!

PERFECT walking distance to arena. Favorite place around that area., very safe feeling in building.

I was very impressed by my stay here. This was a very central location where you can go anywhere from downtown to midtown no problem. Place was clean and very accommodating for my guests. Definitely would recommend staying here!

The property exceeded our expectations in several areas - location was outstanding for events at LCA and Ford Field, property was wonderfully appointed and very spacious. We wish we had more time to spend there and will definitely stay here again!
