Unwind at this unique and tranquil getaway in the city. This 1906 Canal Home has been thoughtfully designed to bring groups of friends and big families together. In the city, with secluded retreat vibes, it's the best of both worlds. Recognized by the Detroit News as one of Michigan's Dream Homes, there is plenty to enjoy outside and in- including a grand dining room with space for 12, and the many outdoor gathering spaces- front porch overlooking the Detroit River, 2 decks, patio + canal. Welcome to this year-round Riverside Hideaway. Enjoy sunny canal days, colorful fall evenings, and peaceful winter escapes off the Detroit River. Professionally managed, this one-of-a-kind vacation home blends cozy comfort with a touch of European flair. Every corner offers something unique — from the colorful dining room that gathers everyone around the table, to tucked-away nooks perfect for reading or relaxing. 🍳 Cook & Dine Together The full kitchen is stocked with new smart appliances and plenty of space for the chefs in your group to create memorable meals. Whether it’s a big family dinner or a quick breakfast before exploring, you’ll have everything you need with an indoor dining table for 12, or outdoor patio dining for 12. 🛌 Rest & Recharge Distinct bedrooms feature green tea memory foam mattresses for restful sleep, plus Smart TVs so everyone can unwind their own way. 🌿 Outdoor Living at Its Best Step outside to a wraparound yard along the canal — complete with yard games, a grill, a pebble patio strung with café lights, and a spacious side deck shaded by trees. • Sip your morning coffee on the front porch overlooking the Detroit River while freighters drift by. • Enjoy an evening BBQ under the lights as kayakers paddle past. • Bring your own watercraft for boating or paddling (or rent locally) — with a dock on the property and easy access to the Detroit River and Lake St. Clair, you’re set for canal cruising and fishing adventures. 🌆 Explore the Neighborhood You’ll be just minutes from local favorites: a children’s bookstore, pizzeria, brewery, wine shops, and kayak tours.

Movement weekend in Detroit

Stayed at Bobby's property and it was exactly what our group needed. We come every year for the music festival and the location is far enough out where quiet but still a quick drive to downtown, large enough to fit everyone, check in was easy, house was exactly as described. Would def stay here again.

Enjoyable stay!

The property, location and host were all amazing. They left a thoughtful care package with a personalized note. I was pleasantly surprised and impressed! Upon check out, I left my keys and the host was available upon contact and prompt in assisting. It was an inconvenience to him and he was still able to pleasantly assist. I would stay again! Thanks host!!

Close to city

proximity to the city is nice, but you will need a way to get there. its not a walkable neighborhood to get to downtown, so just recognize that there are potential logistics on top of your stay here. the house is in good shape, beds were comfortable, and amenities were readily available. this is a great place to gather with a group and spend time together before getting out to the surrounding areas of Detroit and seeing what the city has to offer.

Great get away close to the Grosse Pointe and the Detroit

This beautiful home is situated on the canal that feeds into the Detroit River. The house is spotless with every amenity you could need. It's a short drive to Grossse Pointe and Detroit. All the bedrooms were spacious and beds extremely comfortable. Bathrooms were big, water pressure good! Amazing kitchen, dining room and living room that was perfect for our extended families stay over Thanksgiving. Bobby was available and helpful for anything we needed. Highly recommend, would love to visit in summer too!

Great getaway, even off season!

Wow wow wow. This house is just super cool. There were 10 of us staying all together and there was plenty of room for everyone. Even though it was cold, it was still nice to be on the water and to walk across the street to the park. The restaurant next door is top notch, too. I'd absolutely recommend this place to anybody. Host Bobby was incredibly responsive and accomodating - and even left a delightful welcome card and gift basket. I really hope I can get 8 friends to go again, cause I would love to return!
