Walk to shopping, Charming Modern European cottage with huge deck

Very lovely home The interior of the home was just lovely. Beautiful kitchen with fabulous appliances, basic pots / pans, stocked Nespresso machine. Comfortable furniture throughout the home, especially the king bed in the primary bedroom with super luxurious mattress and sheets. Huge and new washer and dryer in the basement. Renovated bathroom upstairs which services both bedrooms is done very nicely with plentiful storage in an adjacent hall closet. Homeowner responded quickly to questions. The A/C went out one morning during our stay and he came that night to make sure I was using the thermostat correctly. When he saw that I was, he sent a technician the following morning. So just one night at 78 degrees in the house. Very happy to have had the two fans. Our only disappointment (and it was a big one) was the lack of upkeep in the yard. During a three week reservation the grass was only cut once, after asking about it, and they never came again. We only had a few days of rain during our stay and all the neighborhood houses were kept so nicely. In general the yard is overgrown with dead perennials which are desperate to be cut back. The grass was so long, (about calf deep when we requested the first cutting and again by the time we left) for so many days, the kids really couldn’t go out and play. We were very lucky and happy to have such quick access to the beautiful Pembroke Park for our outdoor enjoyment. With some TLC to the exterior, the home would be an absolute 10+++!

Beautiful Home in Great Location This historic home is very tastefully updated and was extremely clean. The location is great, a short walk from Whole Foods and about a mile from downtown Birmingham. There is a large furnished deck, and the garden is lovely. I would recommend planning to eat out while in town, as the kitchen is not really set up for actual cooking (no dish towels, and the cooking equipment consists of four nonstick fry pans, one 1.5 quart nonstick sauce pan, and two disposable cookie sheets that appear to have been used a lot already). Also, the property would not be appropriate for people who have scent allergies/sensitivities, as there are a lot of air fresheners and scent diffusers all over. There is also no shower gel, only shampoo and conditioner, in the shower so you should bring your own shower supplies.

Great house and location Super convenient, nicely updated and comfortable home. Bed was perfect and loved being so close to pretty much anything I might want or need!

Birthday visit My mom, sister and best friend came to Michigan to celebrate my birthday. Instead of a hotel we thought a VRBO would be the best option. This cottage did not disappoint. We were close lots of food options. Plus not far from the Detroit. We were in out of the cottage throughout the days. It was nice to come back after a busy day and relax and spend time together. The description and photos are very accurate. If you need to be in Detroit or its suburbs I would highly recommend this location.

Great stay Very nice house and location

Awesome home in Birmingham We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. We especially liked the outdoor patio. The location is great - close to downtown Birmingham with good shopping and restaurants. Our host was very accommodating and responsive. I would highly recommend this VRBO.
