This is a magnificent home that has been very meticulously brought back to perfect condition. The furnishings and art work are beyond incredible. Rachel is a wonderful hostess and very passionate about the restoration and history of the property. It is a step back in time in architecture. It is like staying in a museum. It is very quiet and comfortable. A lot has been done to install modern heating, cooling and plumbing but yet retain the original character and greatness that this turn of the century mansion was built with.

There was some confusion in regards to whether or not breakfast was included with the Expedia rate. The lovely woman running the bed and breakfast was kind enough to give us complimentary breakfast so as to make sure we had a good experience. Chef Snoop gave us an incredible 5 star breakfast. I recommend that you visit this lovely place in Detroit’s Indian Village. It is a beautiful historical home with modern updating.

Property was beautiful! But I was the only one there;I was not aware of where owner was or of any of the safety features of the building. Owner seemed upset when I did not stay the second night because I was scared, I had to eat the )second nights charge. Thought owner could have educated clients about hotel given the location.

We had a wonderful time in this historical property. It was beautifully restored and decorated for the holidays. We took advantage of what the community had to offer with little pocket outdoor markets, fine dining and shopping. We will definitely be back again!

Anniversary & Concert Trip! We came to Detroit to see the Toby Mac/Mercy Me/Zach Williams concert at Little Caesar’s Arena. Celebrating our anniversary, we wanted something more special than a generic hotel. The Frederick Stearns House was perfect! Beautifully restored to turn of the 20th century, the Inn was a wonderful mix of history & modern conveniences. I cannot say enough about the decor. Every turn brought something new to admire—architecture, furniture, artwork… The owner was charming and happily gave us a guided tour when we admired the authentic warming oven in the dining room. We noticed she even “dressed the part”, wearing a flapper-style dress on the first night and art deco blouses after that. We clearly saw how proud she was by her enthusiasm, her care of the Inn and the many small details, like the white-noise maker next to our bed to drown out city noise. We stayed in the Zinnia room which had extra privacy & a luxurious en suite with a deep jacuzzi tub and separate rainfall shower. We were delighted with our choice—especially after discovering the workers at the nearby Casio hotels were on strike! We definitely will be back! Close to LCA, Fox Theater, Windsor, casinos, Ford Field & other attractions.

My husband and I had a great time staying at the B&B on a weekend get-away. We brought our bikes to ride the Detroit riverwalk waterfront and the greenways, which connect all the way to Eastern Market and CorkTown! Lots of dining options. We visited Pewabic Pottery and the Ford House. The owner Rachel was a great host. She is very warm and dedicated to historic inn restoration!

Wow! A hidden Gem! Very unique and welcoming place to stay in the D! We stayed for New Year’s Eve and were pleasantly surprised by the beautiful house! The owners were extremely friendly, knowledgeable and welcoming to all guests! The renovated house is absolutely gorgeous. Beds comfortable! Breakfast awesome! You won’t be disappointed. So glad to support small business owners who are passionate about their place! Would recommend this place for anyone! Definitely would stay here again!
