"Room was very clean"

"I almost hesitate to give this a five-star review, because I don’t want the secret to get out – this is the best place to stay in Houghton! Our son is a student at MTU, so we are in the area numerous times a year. We have stayed at various other properties (both Airbnb’s and other hotels), but Independence Stay has become our go-to spot. The property is always immaculately clean, modern, and well-maintained. The staff is friendly. The rooms are comfortable, with just enough kitchen supplies...

"Easy check in and check put, pet friendly, location to MTU and Houghton."

"Customer service was great! It’s directly across the water where you watch the sunrise and moon reflect on the water. Super clean and comfortable. Looking forward to next visit!"

"Very cool location. Clean rooms. Staff was helpful."

"Beautiful view of the lake in winter! Perfect location to Nordic ski and skijor at Tech Trails and Swedetown. The internet service was unusually strong for the UP. We were able to stream multiple devices at the same time. Great communication with the owner, including during a blizzard. We were warm and had power. Thank you for the wonderful memories. "

"The cabin was cute, very outdoorsy but really cool. We tried to count all the bears in the cabin, we never could come up with an actual count. We looked all around in our adventure to the north for a bear to add and could not find one. Really nice place. The traffic was a bit much the first night but we got used to it. The fireplace was awesome, we missed our real one and it brought us home. Lynn was a pleasure to deal with she even surprised us with coffee pods one day. She was so sweet. Lynn...

"The home was clean and comfortable! Had a great stay!! "
