The property is lovely. But it is like living in a museum . The hostess didn’t inform of any amenities and there was NO breakfast The location was convenient to the entrance to belle isle which is worth the trip. Don’t arrive before 3pm as locked and no one there

4/10 Fair

My fiancé and I recently stayed at this property and truly enjoyed many aspects of our visit. The property itself is absolutely gorgeous and our room exceeded our expectations-especially the bathroom, which was one of the highlights of our stay. Based on that experience alone, we were genuinely excited about returning in the near future. However, shortly after our stay, we were unexpectedly charged $300 for “missing bathrobes” that were never in our room in the first place. Although the charge was refunded the interaction was uncomfortable and lacked an apology leaving me feeling like my honesty was questioned. Overall, this is a lovely property with real potential to deliver a great guest experience, unfortunately how situations like this are handled matters just as much as the stay itself. I hope the management will reflect on this and approach future guest concerns with a more open and respectful mindset.

Great location in Indian Village area. Beautiful restored 1903 mansion of 16,000 square feet. exquisitely furnished with period furniture and paintings. Close to rverything Detroit had to offer. We stayed two nights and will definitely be coming back. Rachel was such a great host and proudly gave my wife and I a tour of the house. We loved every minute of our stay. Large and comfortable room with a super comfortable bed. You’ll love this one of a kind bed and breakfast.

My wife and I greatly enjoyed our stay at the Frederick Stearns house. The house was gorgeous, and we loved learning from the owner the history of the home and the work they put in restoring it. The room was quiet, clean and relaxing, and the coffee and fresh baked pastries in the morning were wonderful!

Great romantic weekend stay

Had a wonderful stay at the Frederick Stearns property. The owners Eric & Rachel went above & beyond to make our stay perfect! They gave us a tour of the lovely historic home & even made special mimosas for us for our anniversary during breakfast which was delicious. Our room was very comfortable & large. While sitting in our room (Aster) I did notice quite a bit of dust under the bed which could possibly cause issues for those with allergies. Other than that, the room & home were spotless! I definitely highly recommend a stay at this beautiful property.

Beautiful & Worth It

This was such a gorgeous place! Just beautiful! The owner checked us in and gave us a little tour. We stayed in the Zinnia room. I thought the bed was very comfy. It had Netflix set up on the tv. The fireplace in our room didn’t work though.

Great place to stay!

The house is absolutely beautiful! It's probably my fault for not reading correctly, but I thought there would be a full breakfast (there was coffee, fruit and pastries) and that the pub in the basement was open (private parties only). Our room (Aster) was uncomfortably warm, but the rest of the building was nice and cool. A fan in the room would have helped. Getting into the building late at night was a challenge as the door lock system could be improved. Beautiful architecture and history in this place!

My wife and I and another couple spent two nights at the Frederic Stearns House and found it to be excellent. Spacious, clean rooms and an inviting ambiance. The historic nature of the Home added to a wonderful experience. Our host, Rachel, was gracious, most helpful, and we loved her cookies. If there is a higher rating than 5 stars, Rachel and the Frederic Stearns House deserve it. Highly recommended. Peter & Shirley, Canyon Lake, Texas

We were greeted by Rachel who has renovated, and owns this beautiful historical property. She is lovely:) she greeted us like we were family. The Inn is quiet and in a really pretty part of town. We were there to see a concert downtown, and it was an easy 10 minute Uber. The bed was so comfy, the room bigger than my first apartment. Well appointed. A must stay and a must see if in Detroit!

6/10 Good

On the positive: this is a very clean, well cared for former mansion that is conveniently located on a major Detroit street. Rooms are spacious and nicely furnished, with dressers, a television, and a omfortable sitting area with a loveseat and chair. The bathroom was clean. As a guest, I would have appreciated several features and conveniences: A coffee maker in the room or printed information about Access to coffee in the main floor lobby in the morning. Some print information with information about connecting to the internet; a brochure or literature from the Detroit Visitors’ Bureau; and a list of nearby restaurants. As a customer, I would expect: A grab bar in the shower/tub Hot water in the shower; over three days it never was more than lukewarm Hot and cold water faucet handles that allowed more than a dribble of water in the shower and in the sink At least four bath towels rather than two A bar of soap larger than only the two postage-stamp pats of soap provided, one in the shower and one at the sink A plastic cup (or two) in the bathroom
