Our stay was fantastic! Beautiful home, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, having access to the attached garage was a huge bonus since there was a decent amount of snow, freezing rain and ice throughout our stay. Looking forward to our stay here in the fall!

The house was in a perfect location. Just minutes from town but tucked away where you felt you didn’t have neighbors. The house is beautiful and had everything we needed including plenty of space for all of us. Fire pit was enjoyable and the sauna is a great bonus!

A beautiful home with a well-stocked kitchen and more than enough space for our group of 4 adults. It was clean and quiet - and the hosts were very responsive. We enjoyed watching the wildlife in the backyard, enjoyed a bonfire, and were in a nice proximity to Houghton and Hancock.

We had plenty of space for our families to stay to attend a wedding. Close to downtown but not in it, this location allowed us to explore Houghton and the Keweenaw Peninsula and come back "home" to relax. Family members especially enjoyed watching the deer who frequented the backyard.

Stayed here for a snowmobile trip. 6 people. The house is very nice and clean with plenty of room to spread out. The owners are very responsive and easy to work with. The snowmobile access trail is across the street, it is for one of the hotels. The trail is a bit hard to follow, and not maintained. We opted to ride down the road, which was snow packed, about a mile and a half to the Houghton lift bridge. This worked better then the trail and takes you by the gas station. However coming back up the hills in town can be a little tricky on a snowmobile. We had enough room for 4 trucks and trailers to park. Overall a very nice stay.

Wonderful home close to MTU!

This was a perfect “home base” for moving our student into the Elements apartments. The location was perfect, the home was clean and comfortable, and the owners had everything set up for us. Would absolutely stay here again!
