Modern Zen Farmhouse to help you recharge and rejuvenated
Guest rating: 3.9 / 5
Overview
The Modern Zen Farmhouse is a private home-style rental in Auburn Hills designed around a chic, organic, and relaxing aesthetic. Its centerpiece is a sophisticated courtyard-style backyard that offers a peaceful, country-like retreat despite being close to the city, making it a favorite for guests looking to unwind after long travel or work stretches.
Unit & Amenities
The property is set up like a self-contained home with a full kitchen, microwave, and oven-stove, along with a washer, ironing board, and heating and air conditioning for full climate control. Guests also have access to cable TV, free Wi-Fi, free parking, and a private patio, and the entire property is smoke-free.
Outdoor Space
A standout feature is the peaceful backyard and patio area, which gives the property a countryside feel while remaining inside the city, ideal for guests who want a quiet space to decompress, sit outside, or relax after a day of sightseeing or shift work.
Location & Surroundings
The farmhouse sits about 5 minutes from Beaumont Hospital and a shopping center, and 5-10 minutes from Birmingham, Royal Oak, and Ferndale, three walkable, boutique-filled towns known for dining and organic shopping. Downtown Detroit is roughly 15 minutes away and Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport about 25 minutes (35.9km), while Somerset Mall, a well-known luxury shopping destination, is around 10 minutes away.
Dining Nearby
Guests have a wide range of restaurants within a short distance, including Super Crab seafood (471m), Redcoat Tavern (1.1km), Avenue (981m), First Watch for breakfast (865m), Brown Iron Brewhouse (900m), Green Lantern Pizza (1.3km), and The Rind (1.3km), plus destination spots like Blind Owl and Blue Goat in Royal Oak (around 5.3km).
Best for
This property is best suited for travel nurses, medical staff, and business travelers needing proximity to Beaumont Hospital, as well as leisure travelers and small family groups wanting a relaxing home base with a kitchen, laundry, and private outdoor space. Its quiet backyard and full home amenities also make it well suited for longer stays or anyone seeking to decompress rather than a high-energy nightlife stay.
Travel tips
Public transit is accessible via the 13 Mile & Hillside and Greenfield & Albert bus stops, both under 600m away, while Troy and Royal Oak train stations are roughly 3-5km away for regional travel. Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 25 minutes by car, so plan airport transfers accordingly since no shuttle is documented. Because the kitchen and laundry are fully equipped, guests can save time by cooking in rather than relying solely on the many nearby restaurants in Royal Oak, Birmingham, and Ferndale.
