About this house rental

Welcome to White Lotus Retreat, a magical hideaway just 15 min from Detroit. This immersive smart home is more than a place to sleep, each Alexa-enabled room tells its own story with interactive surprises throughout. Hand-crafted with big hearts and engineering minds, it’s perfect for families, friend groups, and creative teams, with a hidden secret room waiting to be discovered! Come explore Metro Detroit, then return to a stay that feels like part of the adventure!


—— THE SPACE ——

** Nature‑themed, Interactive rooms **

—— Japanese Tea Room ——
A flexible couch un‑stacks into a sitting circle of cushions so you can experience the grounding, communal effects the Japanese pioneered. Guests can mix their own aromatherapy blends using an oil diffuser and provided recipes and enjoy a curated tea set that creates a communal space for conversation, mindfulness, or games.


—— Cloud Room ——
Ascend the stairs into a tranquil world of mossy rock walls and trees where light‑up clouds float above you. The clouds and adjustable “sunlight” respond to your music and hidden triggers, turning the room into a living art installation.


—— Jungle Room ——
descend into a fully enclosed space crowned by a sculpted tree whose branches and vines come alive through responsive lighting. There’s ample open space to exercise, dance or connect; a fold‑out table doubles as a ping‑pong surface, poker table or board‑game arena.


—— Full of Surprises ——
Throughout the home you’ll find easter eggs and smart‑home lighting effects that invite exploration. Every space is thoughtfully curated to spark curiosity and connection rather than simply provide decor.


—— Private movie theatre ——
Enjoy movie nights on a projector with surround sound.


—— Game collection ——
poker set, thoughtful board games, and fold‑out ping‑pong table for friendly competitions indoors.


—— Small gym ——
treadmill, adjustable free weights, bench and resistance bands for staying active.


—— Secret interactive room ——
Tucked away for adventurous guests to discover.


—— Outdoor living ——
The large fenced back yard features a table with chairs, gas grill and an arsenal of yard games— Cornhole, KanJam, bocce ball, frisbee and more. It’s a great space for summer barbecues or stargazing. When you need fresh air, you can also explore Royal Oak’s parks and green spaces; Starr Jaycee Park hosts summer concerts, community festivals and winter ice skating, while the nearby trail network leads into woods and playgrounds.

OMG. Where do I start. This property is amazing from the creative art decor to the thoughtful extras for guest. This house is truly a home away from home. This is not just an Airbnb but it has all the amenities of a home that you can live in longterm. All of your needs are accounted for from the towels to toiletries to kitchen supplies to the laundry. The sound system, televisions, Alexa and commands are exquisite. This is truly a smart home. I was so blown away when I entered to see the wall and ceiling decor and especially the lighting in this house. I mean everything is designed in excellent taste. I wanted to stay for another month. The hosts are excellent, communication and check in information was professional and with ease. This couple really have poured their heart and soul to give you a house done with elegance and love. So much so that I had to call them on the phone to tell them how much I appreciated their property. I just didn't think my review could express my feelings about this house. I needed for them to hear it. I hope all future guests will appreciate what efforts and care went into creating this house experience. Please take care of this home so that others can experience what I have which was pure joy in this house. If you are looking for a high quality stay, look no more. YOU FOUND IT!!!
