Frederick Stearns House Historic Inn

Beautifully restored home near to Indian Village. Perfect for relaxing, room was very comfortable. This would be a great location for a party, wedding, or family reunion. Lots of open spaces for gatherings or meetings.

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.

This is one of my best travel experiences. I’ve recommended this as a to-go hotel to my friends with travel plans to Detroit. The owner renovated the historic house with every single design and furniture reflecting the 19th century originals. Frederick Stearns’ story as a pharmaceutical entrepreneur is also inspiring. This whole history and story and the architecture turn the hotel into a museum. I personally could spend days just sitting there imagining myself living in the 19th. Detroit is a great city with splendid history in business and culture. I’m thankful to Rachel for keeping the essence. Reserved parking right next to the house. Delicious breakfast.

My Sister and I stayed at this wonderful property. The location of the Frederick Sterns House is excellent if you want to do all things Detroit. It's close to the Institute of Arts, Central Station, Downtown, and Belle Isle. The best surprise was the discovery of the Pewabic Pottery Studio just minutes away. Upon our arrival, we were warmly greeted by Rachel who has poured her heart and soul into the Inn's restoration. She gave us a tour and offered us coffee and cookies! We stayed in the Magnolia room which has a separate sitting area and a large, spacious bathroom. The bed was very, very comfortable and relaxing. An added bonus is how quiet the property is as well as the off-street parking. We visit the Detroit area every year and we will definitely return to this Inn. Rachel is an excellent host and helped to make our stay very memorable. Finally, we are so happy to see Detroit and how far it has progressed in recent years. The vibe was so positive and happy.

My wife and I and another couple spent two nights at the Frederic Stearns House and found it to be excellent. Spacious, clean rooms and an inviting ambiance. The historic nature of the Home added to a wonderful experience. Our host, Rachel, was gracious, most helpful, and we loved her cookies. If there is a higher rating than 5 stars, Rachel and the Frederic Stearns House deserve it. Highly recommended. Peter & Shirley, Canyon Lake, Texas

Beautiful property. Host made us feel so welcome. Would stay here again

Nice clean and historic home.

Gorgeous property, lovely hosts, and comfy accommodations! Would definitely stay again.

I would love to give this beautiful Inn a five star rating. Filled with amazing architecture and paintings it is a treasure to behold. Unfortunately circumstances require me to address some issues. After several attempts to fix the TV it never had audio. The bath cold faucet did not work. Most important there is no one available to help after 8p.m. We were given the door code for entry after hours. However we did not catch all of if it and upon return from a concert we were unable to get in. I texted and called the number given to me for help and did not receive any reply. It was only pure luck that another guest arrived after us and let us in. If they can address the lack of customer service it is 5 star.

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.
