About this property

Koivu Koti: Houghton “birch house” near trails/MTU

This is a perfect place for vacation in the UP and is centrally located in Houghton making it very convenient to enjoy this fabulous town and its surrounding areas. It is situated about 1 mile from the MTU recreational trails where you can cross country ski on world class trails, snowshoe, mountain bike, hike, and run! Michigan Tech University is less than a mile as well as historic downtown Houghton.

This spacious home has a full kitchen stocked with dishes, utensils, pots and pans, baking utensils, stove, coffee pot -- everything you need to cook all meals. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed and bedroom 2 has a queen bed. The upstairs living space is very large and has a sectional sofa as well as a daybed, 2 twin beds, and TV. The sectional sofa pulls out into a full size bed with a comfortable pillow top that can sleep up to 2. The day bed pulls out into either 2 twin beds or 1 king size bed and can sleep up to 2. We also have two twin beds in addition. The TV access includes Netflix as well as Amazon prime.

This is a wonderful home for families, friends, and the adventurers looking for a cozy, clean place to stay while still having the "at home feel." Located within reach of all Houghton has to offer and a center hub for Keewenaw exploration - you can't go wrong!

Self check-in and check-out make guests stay one step easier. Late night checking in is not a problem. Guests have full access to their half of the town house and the other side is bookable for bigger parties, please ask if you are interested!

Unique
This is a unique property. The home was very clean with all the amenities. Manager/owner reached out ahead of time to let us know they were available for needs. The unit we stayed in did not have an area that was functional for eating. It sleep 10 people but only 2 spots on high chairs to eat. Rules state no eating in other rooms so that was the only drawback. Otherwise a unique stay with clean accommodations!

Exactly what we needed
This was a great place to stay for the weekend. Close to everything but plenty of space for our kids to play and the adults to relax. Would stay again without hesitation.

Fall trip to visit our son @ MTU
Absolutely wonderful home and accommodations. Exceptionally clean, well stocked for guests, and all the little extras that made this place feel like a home away from home. We are looking to rebook for winter visit and summer wedding. Thank you, Kristen
