A sanctuary just 15 minutes from Detroit

TO EVERYONE LOOKING FOR A PLACE OF REFUGE... we offer our "Sanctuary Inn". We are situated on 3.5 acres surrounded by an additional 83 acres of beautiful old oaks and maples. Yet we are only 15 minutes from Detroit and many other great attractions including Greenfield Village and the Henry Ford, the Detroit Zoo, the Iconic Motown Museum, the world famous Detroit Institute of Art and African American Museum. Still within 15 minutes you will find Belle Isle, Little Caesar's Arena, the oldest farmer's market in the country, Eastern Market, to name just a few.

A lovely home away from home
This property is ideally located to many sites and activities in the Detroit area. The deer greet you upon arrival and throughout the day and night! Jeanne and Richard were very responsive and provided and extra key seeing we were two couple on different schedules, as well as instructions on how the hot water value works side to side (who knew!) A very pleasant stay.

Clean and private
Property is very quiet as it is off the proverbial beaten path. That said it is convenient for expressway traveling to and from the city. The house is older but comfortable. Beds were good. TV is a big screen and easy to use. No dishwasher was a surprise
