Beautiful rental. Great kitchen. If you plan to do a lot of cooking, bring some larger pans. Otherwise the kitchen has a good amount of common items. Very clean. Beds are comfortable. So much space! Very friendly and responsive host.

Great location and views!

The property was clean, bright and easy to access. The views from the property were stunning and even better from the deck.Overall this is a very well maintained property with plenty of space to move around and room for parking. Very close to houghton, hiking and the rest of the Keweenaw.

Highlight of this house is for sure the view, it is spectacular. House was comfortable, clean, spacious and nicely decorated. For clarity, the four bedrooms are all on the main floor, the 4th room is a little small/cozy and has a trundle bed. It worked perfect for us (no issues) but I wasn’t totally expecting that. We really enjoyed our time there and would love to stay again

Stunning views and comfy environment

Loved our stay here, couldn’t have asked for a better experience for a weekend getaway. Plenty of actual beds that were very comfy. The views alone made it this property amazing. Lots of space sprawl out, didn’t feel like we were on top of each other. Check in was simple and quick, as was checking out. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway for the family this is the place for you!
