Located along U.S. 41, the area is known for its rich copper mining history, strong Finnish heritage, and stunning natural surroundings. Guests can explore the nearby Quincy Mine, stroll through Hancock’s walkable downtown filled with local cafés, restaurants, and shops, or enjoy year-round outdoor recreation, including hiking, skiing, snowmobiling, kayaking, and lake activities along the Portage Waterway and Lake Superior. The neighborhood also offers convenient access to Michigan Technological University, just across the iconic Portage Lake Lift Bridge, making it an ideal base for both adventure travelers and visitors seeking to experience the unique culture and landscapes of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Quincy House is currently undergoing restoration and preservation. Guests stay in the private, separate newly restored rear section of the house. We reside in the separate front section that is under restoration. Both sections are closed off from each other and you will not be disturbed by construction during your stay. Your privacy and comfort is our utmost concern. We are happy to give guests tours of the rest of the house and talk about the history upon request.

Quincy House, completed in 1882 is an Italianate Victorian mansion built by Quincy Mining Company to prominently house its highest ranking area official, the Mine Agent / Superintendent. It is the last standing mining company agent's house among the many mines that once exploited the area for copper. Built more lavishly than other mine company structures, it served as an elite social center during the copper mine boom. Quincy House is currently undergoing restoration and preservation. You will be staying in the private, newly restored rear section of the house. We reside in the separate but connected front section that is under restoration. Both sections are separated from each other and you will not be disturbed by ongoing restorations during your stay. Your privacy and comfort is our utmost concern. We are happy to talk more about the history and meaning this house to the bygone copper boom which helped electrify the nation. Ongoing restorations progress every day and you will witness them in real time.

Quincy House has, is and will be undergoing restoration and preservation for years to come. In no way will this negatively effect your stay. In fact you will be able to witness how we are transforming and restoring this prominent 144+ year old Victorian Mansion back into the monarch of Quincy Hill it once was.

In addition, your stay will benefit the house as all proceeds we receive from your visit are put directly into the Quincy House Preservation Foundation, a 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization formed and operated by us to restore and sustain the house now and for the future as a valuable historic educational interpretation of Copper Country history.

A couple of our guests have commented that we are a diamond in the rough! Truly! As you enter the house to access your suite, you will go through the older part of the house, but once you enter your suite you will be fully impressed how beautiful the newly remodeled accommodations are for you to enjoy!
