Take a picnic (we will provide the picnic basket and blanket) and enjoy the sunset on the Detroit River . Come back and relax in our hot tub (especially if you have been running, sight-seeing or sitting outside in the stands!) or sit under our wisteria-covered pergola, have a barbeque, and watch the fireflies in summer. You will have a wonderful time! This is my home, and for clarity, I am on site when I have guests (to be compliant with city (Website hidden by Airbnb) also gives the neighbours peace of mind). Although I am retired, I have a busy life, and am often out and about. However, I am always available by phone or text, and will help with suggestions for activities or restaurants, or the history of the area if you need it. I love this area, and want you to experience all it has to offer! Conveniently located close to the waterfront parks, and to many popular restaurants, this is the best place to be in the city. You can go to the corner and have dinner, and then walk the park to see the sunset....all just steps away! For public transportation downtown and across the city, there is a Transit Windsor bus stop at the top of the street. Cabs anywhere are available, and Uber also operates in our city. There is even a tunnel bus that conveniently goes to many sporting events in Detroit!
