My family loved staying in this house for a weekend. We had everything we needed and it was close enough to walk downtown. Very comfortable beds too. Great place!
Great home in a great location. Was as described! Very nice backyard and overall space in the house. Comfortable beds! Nice to have laundry for our 6 night stay.
I loved my stay at this property. The place was perfect, very clean and it even had a home office set up that was very useful. I asked to extend my stay, and Jessica was very accommodating.
Highly recommend and would stay there ags
We loved this property! So clean and well taken care of. Really comfortable bed, well stocked kitchen. Even had a great yard for the dog to play in. We could not have asked for more.
The property was just as described, very clean and charming. Plenty of space. Lots of little extras that made the stay more comfortable. We would definitely recommend.
The house was cute and clean and well stocked. Bed was comfy and so was the other furniture. Plenty of blankets and pillows. Nice enclosed porch and the fenced in yard was awesome to grill out and let the dogs run free. Would stay again.
The home was perfectly located for our plans in Detroit. We did the zoo and a Tiger’s game. We loved the inclusion of the kids items to keep our kids entertained. Parks in the area were excellent.
The home had everything we needed. The floors are original in much of it, so if you’re a light sleeper, that can wake people up with only one bathroom on the main level.
The host communicated promptly when we had questions.
Safe and Comfortable Family Stay with Kids and Dog!
Two parents, two teenage boys and one Boston Terrier stayed at the Dotte for eight nights. The neighborhood was wonderful to walk in, including the nearby parks, basketball court and tennis court to play at. It is super close to the freeway, and at the same time is close to the charming, downtown city of Royal Oak . We walked to a grocery store and drove 5 minutes to the weekly farmer's market, breweries, pizza, restaurants and coffee shops. The living room had room for us all, our dog was right at home, and we all enjoyed sitting and playing in the backyard. I spent mornings with my coffee on the front porch. The kitchen had everything we needed to eat some of our meals right in the house. We would definitely stay here again next time we come to Michigan!
This was an exceptional stay. Jessica was exceptionally welcoming and helpful both before and during my stay. The house was equipped with all the amenities one could desire, and I highly recommend it to anyone seeking accommodation in the Detroit Metropolitan area.
The property was very cute and the decor was nice. My family and i found it had everything we needed and the bedrooms were a great size as we also had a pack and play with us. Would absolutely stay here again, and the food recommendations from the owner were very good. Very close to the detroit zoo. Would stay here again
Great property for a big group! We were glad to be able to bring our two dogs with us. The well stocked kitchen and huge backyard were highlights for us. Would definitely stay here again!
My husband, daughter and I stayed 2 nights at the Dotte. All the pictures were accurate to reality and we really enjoyed our stay! It was our first time in Michigan and the house and neighborhood helped us fall in love with the state. We had everything we needed in the house; even a flashlight which was super helpful when there was a power outage during a storm. Our host was super prompt with any inquiries and we would absolutely stay here again if ever in the area.
My daughter and I decided on a "girls weekend" and this house was perfect! We only live 20 minutes away but the point was to be close-away(ish). House had EVERYTHING that one might need (and have forgotten to bring). Super adorable. We'll definitely stay here again when the weather is nicer as the backyard looks enjoyable!
First of all Jessica is AMAZING!! She was so helpful and responsive. The house was exactly as listed and met all of our expectations. Everything about the house was very thoughtful (white noise machine, charging cords, dog treats/toys etc) which made the stay even better. I highly recommend this property!
A wonderful hidden gem! Not in the downtown city area but close to and accommodations for a family. Backyard was enclosed for our little doggie in addition to having a fire pit (included the wood too!).
This place is a must stay for a family. Laundry was available. Kitchen was well stocked so we didn't have to spend exorbitant amount on dining. THANK YOU!
