Family Wedding Weekend

This property was a perfect fit for our family of 10 which included an infant. The house was beautiful, well equiped, spotless and truthfully the best VRBO experience we have had. We hope we can stay here again. It was so nice to all be in one house, yet still some private space.

Great house, Centrally located

We all enjoyed the beautiful home with all the sitting rooms and excellently furnished. Close to both downtown Hancock and Houghton - we walked to local restaurants and had a splendid time in the house. The extra parking lot is not really a usable option, but there was ample parking on street and in the driveway for our 5 vehicles.

Historic Old Victorian with all the comforts of home and more. Close to all of the outdoor activities (snow shoe trails, skiing, snowmobiling) that we were interested in doing, and a short drive or walk from shops and reataurants. Welcoming note and treats from the host, great communication, everything above and beyond. 2nd visit here, we'll be back!

Olde Vic has all the old world charm one could want situated in a roomy interior complimented by modern updates which make it a gem for a family of 10. The cozy front porch overlooking the river is a special favorite of our family. We hope to return in the future to make more memories! Thanks to Mary and Jan!

Super A+ Stay!

Our group of 8 celebrated our 70th birthdays together at this incredible historical home that seemed to wrap its arms around us from the moment we arrived! The amenities abound. The owner's talent for decorating was immediately noticed. Her desire to provide comfort was evident during our entire stay. This was the perfect location to tour Copper Country from. Fun was had and fond memories were made, thank you Mary!

Baby get together

Such a comfortable stay! We brought family with 18 month old and 3 year old and when they saw 3rd floor they were so delighted. We then met 1 month old grandbaby from Calumet. For us all to be together was incredible. Loved northern lights we saw from the front yard. The beautiful fall colors on the Portage. Lunch at the Michigan House. Jam from the Jampot. We did it all.

The Old Vic does not disappoint

We had a group of friends caravan up to the Houghton Keweenaw area for the fall colors and great local offerings. I selected The Old Vic with the location, view, space & layout, and amenities for our group. All of the above expectations were met and in the property amenities exceeded. Mary, the property host, is beyond intuitive in her offerings at the property. Our plans for the stay were extensive, but we looked forward to the time we returned to The Old Vic to regroup and recharge. All the charm with so much of the original architectural finishes of the home coupled with the modern amenities and homey touches making it the best of all the offerings. We are glad we looked and booked early for the opportunity to experience this gem. Thank you, Mary, for creating the exceptional stay experience.

Magical

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this enchanting VRBO property with seven of my friends, and I must say, it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale! From the moment we walked through the front door, we were captivated by the museum-quality design, the exquisite antique furniture, and the impressive art pieces that adorned every corner of the house. Yet, this fairytale home was not just a display piece; it seamlessly blended modern amenities with its classic charm to ensure our utmost comfort. The heart of any home is its kitchen, and this one was a culinary dream come true. It boasted top-notch appliances, a wide array of dishes, pots, and pans, and a generous selection of spices that made cooking a delight. The kitchen quickly became the heart of our stay, allowing us to whip up delicious meals and create lasting memories. What truly sets this property apart is its versatility. With ample gathering spaces and cozy corners, "Old Vic" accommodated every mood and preference. Whether we wanted to come together for lively conversations or enjoy some quiet alone time, the house had us covered. The front porch was a personal favorite, offering a cozy spot to savor morning coffee while watching the sunrise or to unwind with a cocktail as we soaked in breathtaking sunsets. The third-floor honeymoon room was a true gem. The panoramic view was simply stunning, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the quality of the linens made us feel pampered. It was the perfect escape w

Our son was getting married in Calumet and this very large home was just perfect “base-camp” for our immediate family traveling into town. We could not have been more happy with the Old Vic. The owners/host have thought of everything. Wish we just had a bit more time to relax and enjoy everything this home had to offer. If we are ever back in the Hancock area, we will definitely stay here again.
