Nice rental! Like other reviews mention, the outside looks a bit rough but the inside is very clean and comfortable. The rental is an old building from the Cole Creek Stamp Mill, which is interesting being in a building with some history. As with all older places, it does come with some character, but overall was a great place to stay with our dog! Convenient location with it being so close to houghton. I would recommend checking in during daylight hours, as it was difficult to find the driveway in the dark and some of the lights did not work in the kitchen and the entryway. Using a flashlight was helpful navigating the dim hallway in the evening hours. Overall the property was great and we had a wonderful stay!

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!

Enjoyed our stay

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.

Convenient & Historical Location in Houghton

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.

Great place to stay near Houghton

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 unit, will rent again

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!
