quiet, charming home

We had a great time at the Gains House. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and close for walking downtown Royal Oak also close to a market for food items. The house is clean, comfortable and has a great location if you need to hop onto the highways for traveling around. I would definitely stay here in any future travels to Michigan!

Great time in Royal Oak/Detroit

Had a nice stay! My family was able to spread out and enjoy the space and watch a movie together in the comfy family room. Helpful labels on everything and well-stocked kitchen for essentials and good coffee. Hosts very responsive and helpful. Great feel from Olive's in Ferndale and easy access by car to many areas of metro Detroit.

Great house in great location!

Our family came to town to celebrate a relative’s birthday. We truly enjoyed our stay in the home. There was plenty of room for all 9 of us (6 adults and three teenagers). Everything was super clean and comfortable. Checkin was easy. Matt, the host, was very helpful. The location is perfect - close proximity to downtown Royal Oak, which has tons of shops and restaurants. Streets and sidewalks are great for running/walking. We’d highly recommend and will stay here again next time we’re in the area!

Great little spot!

My husband and I took the kids to Royal Oak for some shopping and to catch up with friends. Everyone really enjoyed how cozy the house felt, and we all agreed the beds were super comfy! It's located in the cutest neighborhood—very safe and just a short distance from downtown. I especially loved the "stone living room" because it was incredibly cozy and inviting. While it was a bit cold, my husband and I still enjoyed sitting in the back yard every once in a while as well. We’ll definitely be back to stay here on our next visit!***Matt was extremely helpful and easy to communicate with.

Adorably Quaint

What an awesome little home! I traveled here with girlfriends for a shopping trip. This home met all our needs with easy access and awesome accommodations. All the feels… 1. Matt is super attentive! He checked in with me several times and was very responsive. 2. There are nice extras provided such as bath products, and coffee and tea. 3. The home is beautiful and very well kept and super clean. 4. The beds were very comfortable! We all slept exceptionally well. 5. The neighborhood is very safe and quiet with nice local food options. We would definitely stay here again!

Vintage Royal Oak beauty!

When we were picking a Detroit vacation rental, we wanted a location that was safe, quiet and friendly. This area goes beyond that. It's idyllic. There are folks walking their dogs along the sidewalks, kids playing ball in the yards, neighbors mowing with nearly silent electric mowers, houses decorated for Halloween halfway through September. An ice cream truck went by. The house layout would be quirky in a new house, but is perfect for the 30's vibe - which has thankfully been maintained even as the place has been tastefully updated so that everything works. We can't wait to come back!

Home Base for Corporate Stay

Three of us were due to stay in Royal Oak for almost a full month for work--this property was a DREAM. It made our stay so much cozier than if we had stayed in a hotel. I was able to bring my aging dog as well--the back sunroom den was perfection, as it had direct access to the backyard. Each of us had our own room, 2 sharing a bathroom on main floor, one in the master upstairs. Charming, clean, very user-friendly in regards to access, communication with property management (trash etiquette), as well as full access to laundry, A/C controls, and locked access. The neighbors were kind, helpful, pointing out local dog parks; being able to walk to a dozen of adorable coffee/tea joints was a boon. Great, quiet street, easily accessible, felt secure and relaxed. Older starter home with a posse of smaller stairs, but nothing that was too strenuous. It was easy to find separate areas to decompress throughout the home and back patio/back balcony. Such a treat!

Matt was fantastic to work with! Communication was professional, warm and very smooth, check in and out was effortless. The house is very charming, very clean and the beds- all agreed- so incredibly comfortable and clean! We utilized every space of this house and it felt cozy, but also everyone felt they had their own space to retreat to. I particularly loved the deck off the master which gets excellent afternoon sun to sneak away and read a book. Convenient location to everything. We live in Chicago but are from Detroit and will def book again.

It was a nice property in a great neighborhood with parks and grocery stores nearby. It served as the perfect midpoint for our family’s travels. The provided baby gates made it easy to block off areas for our small children, and we had no issues with the kitchen. The backyard was beautiful, and our kids loved running around out there. We also really enjoyed using the grill with the propane tank, it helped us make a couple of great meals. I would definitely recommend this place and would happily bring our family back if we’re ever traveling through the area again.
