This unique property is a historic renovation of a turn of the century mansion to hotel rooms, which is beautifully done with spacious and interesting rooms. The staff/owners customer service are very proud of the property and treated me more like a house guest than a hotel visitor and went above and beyond. Best service I’ve ever had.

I was looking for a Bed and Breakfast near the MGM Grand for my fiancée’s birthday weekend (I know, what a combination), and stumbled upon this place through Google. I was blown away by the pictures and was also impressed with the amount of positive reviews. So I booked a nights stay in the Rose Room. From the moment we pulled up, I knew that I had made the right decision. The owner has done an unbelievable job restoring the place, and has clearly put her heart and soul into every intricate detail. Check in was smooth and easy, and we got a brief tour. After that, we were on our own. We made our way down into the basement speakeasy (a honor, self serve system) and turned on some music. Every room in the house conjured previous memories of a time forgotten. The room was beautiful, cozy and spacious. Before we left, the owner showed us some before pictures and we got to learn a little about her story. She said something profound regarding her world travels. “It’s all about how a place makes you feel.” The Frederick Stearns House BnB made us FEEL incredible. A place we will not soon forget. My fiancée created unforgettable memories and endless laughs. If you get a chance, book a night or two here. You will never regret choosing this place over a hotel. Learn some local history and support local. We have told our friends and family about it, and also hope to return one day. I wish I could give my experience here more than 5 stars.

This was an exquisitely decorated place to stay. Attention to detail was not missed in any of the restoration of this home. Rachael and Eric were superior hosts and breakfast was unbelievable! The linens and bedding were top notch, and so fluffy and warm and cozy. I really enjoyed the soaking tub in our bathroom. I highly recommend staying here. There’s a neat surprise in the basement…!

We enjoyed the quiet luxury of our room and bath, and the beauty of the entire house. The breakfasts were tasty, prepared by the very friendly chef. Excellent coffee, too. We lounged a bit in all the common areas and enjoyed the beautiful furnishings and fireplace. It was such a treat to stay in this unique, lovely place.

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.

Excellent and special. This former mansion has been lovingly and carefully rescued and restored into a boutique hotel/bed & breakfast. The room was spacious, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely. The building itself is spectacular: think lots of special art, grand stained moldings, and lots of history. The owner and chef were both incredible hospitable and nice. The food at breakfast was extraordinary. I’ll be back and I highly recommend this.

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.
