A welcoming retreat awaits travellers from Sarnia, Ontario, just across the border in the heart of Detroit's iconic West Village neighbourhood. Recently, a group of friends from Sarnia purchased and renovated a home to enjoy and share with others. For visitors to Detroit, the house provides a safe, comfortable, and convenient accommodation option to experience the city's cultural richness and history.
"We wanted to create a bridge between Sarnia and Detroit," explains Tony, a Sarnia native and Detroit enthusiast. “The house serves as a welcoming retreat for Sarnians looking to experience the best of what Detroit offers, whether you're there for the weekend or an extended stay. It's an hour's drive from Sarnia, which makes it incredibly convenient, and an 8-minute Uber ride to downtown. It's an easy way to explore the city."
Because of its proximity to downtown Detroit, the house provides quick access to weekly events and activities. From catching a game to indulging in world-class dining, there's no shortage of entertainment to enjoy with your friends or family.
Furthermore, Detroit's eclectic music scene adds to the neighbourhood's charm, with local bands performing at intimate clubs and big acts taking the stage at historic venues like The Fillmore and Fox Theatre. "Detroit is a regular tour stop attracting world-class entertainment and sporting events. And at the same time, the home-grown arts and culture scene is second to none. Every time I visit, I see something new," adds Joe, who makes the house his home base when exploring the city.
As Detroit continues its resurgence, West Village is a testament to its resilience and spirit of innovation. With a group of Sarnia friends at the helm, the house is an easy opportunity to get out of town for a night or the weekend to take in all that Detroit offers.
"There is so much to see and do in Detroit," Tony boasts, "and all of it exists in Sarnia's backyard!"
