LOCATION! LOCATION! LOCATION! Welcome to The Purple House!
Overview
The Purple House is a charming historic home-turned-vacation-rental set directly on Shain Park in downtown Birmingham, Michigan (part of the greater Auburn Hills area). Its distinctive purple exterior and character-filled interior make it a one-of-a-kind stay rather than a standard hotel room. The property emphasizes a residential, private-home feel paired with an unbeatable downtown location.
Rooms & Interior
Guests stay in a full home with cozy, comfortable interiors rather than individual hotel rooms, giving the space a lived-in, character-rich atmosphere. Park views from the home add to the appeal of the setting, and the property is smoke-free and climate controlled with both air conditioning and heating.
Amenities
The home is fully equipped for independent living, including a kitchen with microwave and oven/stove, plus an in-unit washer for laundry. Free Wi-Fi and free parking (two dedicated spaces) are included, making it practical for both short leisure stays and longer visits.
Location & Surroundings
Positioned right on Shain Park in downtown Birmingham, the home puts guests within walking distance of top-rated restaurants, bars, boutiques, and live entertainment. This puts the vibrancy of one of Michigan's most walkable neighborhoods directly at the doorstep.
Best for
This property is best suited for couples, solo travelers, and business guests seeking a private, characterful home base instead of a conventional hotel. The downtown Shain Park location, walkable access to dining and entertainment, and two included parking spaces make it especially convenient for those without a need for large groups or extensive on-site hotel services.
Travel tips
Take advantage of the walkable downtown Birmingham location to reach restaurants, bars, boutiques, and live entertainment without needing a car once parked. With two dedicated parking spaces provided, driving in is straightforward, though downtown streets can get busy during peak dining and event hours. Pack for a home-style stay, since the kitchen and washer make it easy to self-cater and do laundry during longer visits.
