The space was very clean and we had plenty of room for our family of four and doggy. We love our views of the canal in the morning and evenings especially too!
This property was perfect for our Michigan Tech Winter Carnival trip. The space is very clean and it had what we needed while we were there. It had a good heating system for the cold weather as well. The host was very responsive to our questions. We would definitely stay here again!
Went to son’s MTU graduation. Very much enjoyed our stay! Had originally planned to stay at local motel but this had so much more room for similar price. Like other reviews, outside of building was questionable, but inside was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again.
The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of towels. We had a few questions and the host was very responsive and even stopped by to help us with the TV. Plenty of parking if you come with a trailer. We stayed for MTu graduation and it was very convenient. Definitely would recommend.
Nice location for downtown houghton and to MTU. The outside does make you second guess but the apartment inside was perfect for our needs. We enjoyed our stay!
Very clean and roomy upstairs apartment with a small grassy area for our dog. We loved the convenience of the location. Exploring the Keewenaw was wonderful ahead of our son’s MTU move-in.
This property was very neat and clean. Nice 3BR updated in an old building with character. Super convenient off the trail for our snowmobile trip. The host was super and everything was great.
The property was convenient to downtown. Nice view of the canal. Was a heat wave when we stayed so ac would have been nice. Good breeze in the am. Overall would stay again.
The apartment was great for us! The beds are firm but comfortable. Had an issue with the kitchen sink and it was taken care of right away. Would stay again.
We were in Houghton for the weekend for ski races and needed a dog friendly place to stay where we could get good sleep and have a good breakfast to start the day. This fit our needs, was clean and quiet as well. Thank you!
Great unit. Bedrooms were comfortable, kitchen very usable. It is close to downtown but not really walkable to anything.
This unit will be on our "return" list, we were very impressed!
Don’t let the outside of the building deceive you.
Updated property with lots of character

Great space!
Clean and spacious. Worked great for us.
The $1,500 deposit seemed a bit extreme (although it was during Winter Carnival) and was refunded after I inquired.
Loved the original woodwork, doors, etc. And the large historical print in the downstairs entryway (with the building highlighted) was very cool!

Thank you, glad you liked the history of the place!
Easy to find if you follow the directions and listing accurately describes what you’re getting. Windows open and ceiling fans on for nice comfortable check in day , recommend “official “ window opening stops and new toilet.
