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!

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!

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!

Gains House is a cute home located in a quiet Royal Oak neighborhood. The only drawback was a spotty internet connection. Matt tried to help me troubleshoot the issue over the phone, but it continued to be a problem. Aside from that, all my expectations were exceeded.

Perfect for family
Super nice house in a super nice neighborhood. Plenty of parking and space. 6 adults had no problems with running into each other or taking showers. Nicely appointed. Beds were fantastic. Cleaner than most 4 or 5 star hotels that I've ever stayed in. Plenty of space for kids. Excellent communication from the owner. If you aren't familiar with the area it's nice and you'll feel safe. Walking distance to downtown royal oak, the fresh approach market is also excellent and within walking distance. Rent this one, you'll be glad you did. We'll rent this place again in the future for sure.

Visiting family over the holiday who are spread out across the city. Nice central spot. Managers were highly communicative and checked in to ensure things were okay. The beds are comfy. Lots of room to spread out for a family of four (or more).

Absolutely AMAZING!
My friends and I stayed here for the weekend and we seriously couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. It was absolutely beautiful! So clean, had charging plates on every floor, so many extra pillows & blankets - fully stocked with everything you could ever need. I highly recommend if you're staying in the Royal Oak area! 10/10 :)

Perfect, Charming Family Getaway
We were charmed by the photos and this property did impress in person! It was a perfect base of operations for us to run day trips in Royal Oak and the surrounding area with two small children. The neighborhood was quiet and conveniently located. I wish we had a bit more time to enjoy the property amenities, especially outdoors. My wife and I did really enjoy cozying up on the couch in the back den after the kids went to bed and caught up on some shows. Internet was great and came in handy as we both had to work on and off throughout. Had an all-around amazing time!

Centrally located property in Royal Oak
Excellent communication from owner and prompt responses to questions. Owner easy to work with. Property was clean, had all the items (linens, kitchenware, etc) you could need and was in a centrally-located and very safe Royal Oak neighborhood. Four couples slept comfortably in their own quarters - great for a family gathering!

The home is located in a quaint safe neighborhood. We enjoyed the homes unique style.
We were at the home Thanksgiving weekend. We cooked our family dinner and did our family traditions as we would have at our own home. There were sufficient dinnerware and cooking essentials. We did bring some additional items. There were plenty of towels and sheets. The home had enough space for our family . The home was decorated nice. It was simple and clean and comfortable. We all enjoyed the location. Walking in neighborhood was safe. We would definitely consider renting it again. The only think I would change is : there was no cable or dish. There was streaming .
