Beautiful home
Such a beautiful, well kept home with an attentive hostess. Yvette and her sister were dedicated to us enjoying ourselves. All of our needs were met. Although the house was in an up and coming neighborhood, the neighbors were quiet and we felt safe prompting me to give it a 5 star rating for location and neighborhood. It was an ideal location for visiting the Henry Ford museum about 19 miles away.

Wonderfully curated space. Great for my wellness retreat.
This is our 2nd time using the Harper House for our annual retreat. In fact, the ladies requested that we stay there again. There is enough space indoors and outdoors to convene and eat. The beds were comfy and the clawfoot tubs were put to good use. Yvette has done a great job curating this 1900s home. She checked in on us to make sure our needs were met. The neighborhood is safe and quiet, despite being close to Woodward Ave. Will stay here again. Thank you, again.

Wish it had been different
I went into this with high hopes - as the listing was a little unclear as to bed configuration, I emailed with Yvette for help. She was friendly and helpful. Check-in was OK, although we arrived after dark and we couldn’t get in at first, until a phone call with Yvette while she was on vacation in Aruba made it possible. No robes/slippers unless prearranged. The home was generally clean, although trying to see out the front window on a sunny day was difficult so my brother cleaned it as best he could. The beds were plentiful but quite hard, and (at least) ours was covered with a plastic cover. We went to remove it as it was very uncomfortable and discovered it was because the mattress was disgusting - stained & discolored. The bathroom on the 2nd floor had a very foul odor upon our arrival, and we didn’t complain at the time-it was gone by morning. There was a burn-mark in the throw blanket in one of the bedrooms - not pleasant but no big deal. The drains in the 2nd floor bath drained very slowly-we just dealt with it. The back yard was lovely, but the deck furniture was filthy until I washed the tables. Two of the blankets they sell were crumpled on the couches. All in all, not perfect but pretty great stay, but now we are being charged almost $500 for “excessive dirt, clogged drains and burn in blanket”. We left the house in great condition, started the dishwasher & removed kitchen trash. I have an excellent rating on VRBO, and am very upset & disputing it.

2nd Time Staying
Due to early flights.The host allowed us to check in early and was there to greet us. Yvette was very understanding of our situation Although we did not meet the 1st time, our family felt as if we had. Very clean inside, comfortable beds and house was kept warm during the 25 degree weather...Its a no brainer!!!

Great stay
So glad we booked the Harper House! As a group of 8 we had plenty of room to stretch out, everyone had their own bed, the 3 bathrooms were really nice and 2 had claw foot bathtubs. Everything worked, even the ice maker! The house had thoughtful design and looked original but has been updated.

Great location and beautiful home
Really enjoyed our stay at the Harper house. Great communication with the host and the property was clean, spacious, and as pictured. Our only complaint was that the beds are very firm and many beds and pillows were covered with plastic, which meant they retained an uncomfortable amount of heat. We would stay again, however!
