Had a wonderful stay at the Frederick Stearns House Historic Inn. The owner was there most of the time to answer any questions and provided some great information on the history of the Inn and surrounding area. She also prepared very delicious breakfasts. The room was large and comfortable and there are many interesting decorations throughout the Inn.

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.

Old English Inn in Detroit’s West Village

The Stearns is an incredibly unique stay. It’s a classic Tudor mansion that operates as much lore of a quaint Old English Inn that a hotel, so go in with that and you will love it. Somewhat between downtown and Gross Pointe. Across from the UAW, so perfect if you are going there for UAW work.

My husband and I had a great time staying at the B&B on a weekend get-away. We brought our bikes to ride the Detroit riverwalk waterfront and the greenways, which connect all the way to Eastern Market and CorkTown! Lots of dining options. We visited Pewabic Pottery and the Ford House. The owner Rachel was a great host. She is very warm and dedicated to historic inn restoration!

Great stay, just need faster coffee

Rachel the host was super knowledgeable and gave us a tour of the whole place when we got there which was super cool. The house itself is gorgeous- you can tell they have invested a lot of money to restore it to its former glory. Only downside was we couldn’t figure out the fancy coffee maker in the morning so it took awhile to get coffee. Maybe instructions could be posted to help people navigate that.

Nice facility, terrible neighborhood

The building is beautiful and the host and hostess very kind and pleasant. However, the building is on as busy street and very noisy. It was telling that there are white noise generators in each room. We were moved from our original rooom, the most expensive, to another not facing the street. The second night was worse, with a neighbor playing loud music until 1:30 in the morning. I sleep with earplugs and they could not keep out the noise. We left six hours later. I would never return.
