A nice place to stay with family / friends. A nice dining / kitchen area. Beds were comfortable. Location was great with trails only a couple blocks away. Gas station right down the street. Only a few blocks from the lake. Look forward to staying here again!

Snowmobile Trip

This was a great place to stay! Very clean and plenty of room. We had six guys in our group and it worked out great. We came with two trucks and trailers and had plenty of room. Being able to use the garage was a great touch. This place is also close the everything offered in Bergland. To top it off, the property manager reached out in advance to make sure we didn’t have any questions and were familiar with the area! Top notch customer service! Highly recommended!

2024 snowmobile trip.

We have stayed at this house four or five times for our couples snowmobile trip. This place is great for eight people it is very close to restaurants and gas and it has plenty of parking. Mother nature did not cooperate with us for this trip but we still had a good time patronizing the local establishments.

Great place and location

The house was perfect for our group of 7. The heated garage for the sleds was perfect at night to thaw them out and ready for the morning. Location was great. 3 blocks to the trail, lake access and Mobil gas station. Property manager was great with explaining everything with a phone call the week prior.

Family Snowmobile Adventure Jan 2025

Our main objective was to have a base camp for a family snowmobiling event in the UP. This property served our needs very well. Great location, close to trail, food and fuel. Plenty of parking for vehicles with trailers. We had four trucks with enclosed trailers and we had plenty of room. The heated garage was such a nice feature. At night we backed our sleds into the garage and it was so nice to be able to access our sleds in a heated space to get ready for the next day. Bedrooms were comfortable and the towels supplied were high quality which you do not see often in a rental. Very comfortable for our group of seven people. Would definitely stay again.

MTU Move-in Weekend

We moved our oldest son into MTU over the weekend. The property was accurately described: great location, clean, and An overall great space. This would be a great place to stay in you are visiting the lake, mountains, or trails. The big garage is great for your vehicle and would be amazing for your snowmobile. We would definitely stay here again.

Fantastic property

The house had everything we needed. It is very well cared for and has plenty of bedrooms for larger groups. We appreciated coming home at night and relaxing in the very comfortable living room. The kitchen was stocked with everything that we needed for cooking. We have stayed in a few rentals through VRBO, and this was by far one of the best. It was centrally located for what we wanted to see in the UP and allowed us to come and go as we wanted. It was much more comfortable than staying at a hotel. We would definitely stay here again.

Super UP getaway.

We were very happy with the house and everything in it. It met all of our needs and we were very comfortable there. We used the kitchen a lot and found it well stocked with the needed items. The bed rooms were great and the beds comfortable. Plenty of space overall so that we could spread out. Having a garage to use was great. A few suggestions for you. The kitchen sink was leaking and should be fixed soon. The kitchen cabinet doors could stand a good cleaning. They were sticking when trying to open them. Also we were visited a few times with the house mouse.

About the host

Hosted by Brian & Michelle Michel

Host profile image
Brian has been traveling to the UP since he was a kid riding snowmobiles. This area has always been his preference when booking his annual and Birthday snowmobile trips. Almost daily he would dream of owning his own place in the UP and would spend hours looking at houses for sale and had even walked through a few other properties. One day he came across this house and instantly wanted to go look at it. We made the trip from Illinois to look at the house and while Michelle was hesitant Brian within hours had convinced her this would be the perfect house to buy. We have already made so many memories in this house and still have many more to come. We hope everyone that stays here makes their own special memories.

Why they chose this property

We chose this property due to the location to the snowmobile trails as that was our main reason for buying a house in the UP. The house is close to the trails, Lake Gogebic and is "in the town" of Bergland. Every where we go we meet someone that has owned, lived or knows this house and we wouldn't have it any other way! The locals are the best and this small town is exactly what we love about it!
