THE WRITERS RETREAT A wonderful hideaway near the city. Come relax and enjoy.

Come Rest, Relax, Recharge, and stay a while.
We, along with most of our guests, find it so hard to head back to work & life after enjoying the bliss, warmth & peace of our quaint and cozy retreat.
Although close to the city, we’ve made this wonderful space a great getaway with large beds, blackout drapes, WI-FI, Alexa, Smart TVs & Smart lock access for ease and convenience.
Feel free to park in front of the garage, relax on the cozy patio, and pick up a great read or write.
Enjoy the proximity to downtown Detroit or a quick trip up the shoreline to waterfront activities or suburban attractions.
The Grosse Pointe neighborhoods have all you need in terms of great restaurants, beautiful tree-lined streets, grand architecture, and a fantastic vibe.
Head out and explore or enjoy the cozy warmth of our home.
The choice is yours.
