Why settle for renting just a home when you can rent a mansion in Detroit?! We don’t want you to sell yourself short because you should get the most out of your shoot when you book on Peerspace. Peerspace is the largest online marketplace for hourly venue rentals. Our platform makes it easy to locate and rent hidden gem spaces in cities across the globe (yes, even opulent mansions!)
For your event or production, you should expect nothing less than to bask in luxury. That’s why we put together this list of the top 7 places to rent a mansion in Detroit.
1. Classic historic mini-mansion

No home can be a mansion without top-of-the-line materials. And this mini-mansion brings exquisite customizations to the next level! This home boasts unique architectural features like inlaid hardwood floors, ceiling frescos, and walnut judges paneling.
The grand staircase and nine-foot stained glass window at the top of the landing make for beautiful photos and video opportunities. The mix of modern and antique furnishings offers options for various tastes that would be perfect for everything from production shoots to milestone birthday photos.
Another perk that comes with renting venues on Peerspace? You can read genuine reviews from past renters before booking! Here’s one example for this gorgeous home: “The mini mansion exceeded our expectations of being intimate and went beyond our goal of adequate spacing for our guests. Each room provided the opportunity for our vision to be brought to life and encourage the free-flowing traffic pattern that allowed our guests to mingle appropriately.” If you are ready to rent a mansion in Detroit, this one is a strong contender — and it’s easily bookable on Peerspace!
2. Urban sophistication

This gorgeous home blends contemporary amenities and class style in one spacious, sophisticated urban space! We love the classic car garage, elegant fireplace, and large dining area perfect for milestone celebrations and photoshoots. This picturesque mansion is a perfect place to find your creative spirit for your shoot before exploring the 3,600-square-foot interior of this beautiful home!
In the words of a Peerspace reviewer: “What an AMAZING experience, the home is absolutely stunning and was the perfect backdrop for the video we were producing. Miranda could not have been nicer, more lovely and accommodating and so easy to work with, she gave us freedom to create the look we needed.” You can browse other shoot locations in the area or check out more pictures of this venue on Peerspace.

3. A Victorian mansion turned event space

Want to rent a mansion in Detroit that is steeped in history and centrally located? Then you’re going to love this Midtown private retreat space that is perfect for both events and productions. The mansion was originally built in 1871 and was recently restored to be a spacious and stylish venue for up to 25 guests.
The plush blue velvet sofas and chairs, the elegant chandeliers, and the gorgeous fireplace make this mansion incredibly inviting and a wonderful space to gather. There is also an executive kitchen, a wet bar, a sound system, TVs, and artwork spread across the mansion’s two floors.
4. Limitless opportunities

This beautiful historic Detroit residence offers 3,000 square feet of space that would be ideal for a range of shoots, from a cooking production or music video to a boudoir photoshoot. The spacious kitchen is available for cooking and naturally flows into the picturesque dining room.
The master bedroom and bathroom are perfect for everything from hair and makeup or talent holding to a boudoir shoot. If you’re looking for an area to record music, the basement is ideal. You can even contact the host on Peerspace to request musical instruments. This host also offers a high-end camera and lens package, and you can reach out to them to reserve filming equipment as well!
“Jesse was a fantastic host, and his home was absolutely beautiful,” shares a Peerspace reviewer, “We loved how everything was decorated, clean and 1000% easy to photograph. Jesse was quick to respond and accommodating. We will be back!”
5. Home away from home

The 100+-year-old Harper House is over 3,000 square feet, but its thoughtful decorations and inviting atmosphere make it feel warm and homey! The fully equipped kitchen is available to use when you book, and if you are looking for a romantic photoshoot, why not add the bed and breakfast option to your stay for a taste of true luxury.

6. Classic space, modern vibes

Looking to mix 1900s mansion vibes with modern-day looks for your photo or video shoot? Then this space is perfect! This 1920s colonial duplex was meticulously restored and then renovated and designed with a mid-century modern and eclectic flair for a light and airy feel.
You’ll have plenty of natural light for your shoot with oversized windows throughout the home and the option to use the stylish curtains to soften up the light. No detail was overlooked in this home, with intelligently positioned splashes of color and professional design to create a minimalist yet homey feel. We love the flair of the remaining original details, like original fireplace tilework, restored hardwood floors, and leaded original windows.
As a Peersapce reviewer shares: “Jon and Inna were great! The space was beautiful and we were able to capture all of the imagery needed for our shoot. They responded promptly with any questions or issues we may have had. They were very flexible when we requested to extend our time.” Book this space today on Peerspace!
