Property was clean and spacious. We had 7 adults, 2 four years olds, and a small dog and felt very comfortable. The kitchen was large enough for a few adults to work in at the same time and we all slept well in the comfy beds

Epic Snowmobiling Location

This home and location were perfect for our group! There were two couples and three singles (as well as a 6 month old) in our group. Everyone had their own room (the basement had a brand new queen bed)! We cooked most dinners at home and even grilled steaks.The location was ideal, a short few minutes to trail 3. We were close enough to downtown Houghton, where we could grab takeout at The Ambassador.Five star review from check in to check out! If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable and convenient location, this house is it!

Great house for visiting MTU

Great stay during Graduation weekend! Location was good and had beautiful views. Kitchen had all we needed to cook dinners and living area gave us plenty of room to hang out. Beds were very comfy! Be aware that there are no closets in any of the bedrooms. Good water pressure in the showers. Had an small issue with cleanliness in the kitchen but property manager was quick to respond and apologize. Overall good stay.

What a great property in the woods overlooking the portage. We were very comfortable and had everything we needed for the weekend. Charles was very responsive to any questions. Our stay was in the winter and it was beautiful. I can't imagine how nice it would be in the summer.

Family wedding

Property is amazing! House is well appointed. We did need some soap as there was nothing for the shower but there were ample towels, blow dryer and curling iron available. We rented the houses on the lower property as well as we were having a wedding and it was perfect. All close enough to walk to including the lake. Charlie was so easy to work with and accommodating. This place is a gem!

Amazing views

Beautiful views of the bay, Tech and Mont Ripley both night and day. Tucked away in the woods, you feel like you’re up in a treehouse! Nice layout for two families, we came up for winter carnival and to see our Tech student. We had a little trouble finding the right house on the property, but owner responded right away to help get us there. Very handy for Hancock airport. We enjoyed a dinner at Quincy’s restaurant which is just a few minutes away.

Roomy Rustic house

Very comfortable beds & lots of room for our group. The location was convenient for visiting family nearby & sightseeing. Communication with host & his mother was great. The microwave & grill were not cleaned which required some effort on our part to get them ready for use, but otherwise things were clean & neat. You do have to provide your own bath soap & toiletries & coffee & coffee filters (basket type).
