Great place to rent with a family group!
Great size kitchen and dining area, nice large yard. Not too far from many great beaches and must see spots in Keweenaw Peninsula. 5 bedrooms were all well kept and clean. We also enjoyed the firepit one night too. Would stay again.

5 day houghton get-away
there were 3 couples in our group, everyone had a great time. due to lack of snow could not leave from house, having 2 driveways made getting in and out a breeze. the couple that stayed in basement said,"was a little chilly", used an electric heater from trailer to take the chill away. Awesome house will stay there again!!!

Snowmobiling UP
Great owners and home. Very clean remodeled home with plenty of bedrooms and amenities. Six of us spent 4 nights and hit 600 miles in 3 days of riding. Staging out of this location with trail access at the mailbox worked great! Dumps you onto Trail 3 just south of Houghton. Will likely rent this property again next year.

Fantastic. Room to spread out and close to everything
We had 7 people stay in the house for a week's summer vacation. 3 Married generations (grand parents, parents, daughter & husband) and an 18 year old. Plenty of room to spread out into the bedrooms, but great common areas in kitchen, dinning, living room, and outdoor fire pit patio. Kitchen was fantastic: well stocked with pots, spices, etc. Double oven and large 5 burner stove helped with a big group. Separate coffee bar area on other side of kitchen helped remove from congestion in the kitchen. Entire house was well stocked with toilet paper, paper towels, garbage bags, soap, etc which helped avoid an emergency run to the store for supplies. House is well maintained. Close to everything but still has an out in the country feel. Stores less than 10 minutes away. Downtown Houghton is 10 minutes and Copper Harbor 1 hour. Would stay again if we come back to this area.

Freshman move in weekend
Shared house with another family from our area. Plenty of room for both our families. Living room and kitchen were plenty big enough for us all to spend time together. Beautiful fire pit outside. Parking was easy. This place made us feel at home on a weekend with high emotions. It was also close to campus and quiet.

Wonderful home close to MTU!
This was a perfect “home base” for moving our student into the Elements apartments. The location was perfect, the home was clean and comfortable, and the owners had everything set up for us. Would absolutely stay here again!

Great place to stay
If you are going to the Houghton area and have young children this place is perfect. If the weather is less than ideal like it was for our stay it was great to have a large indoor area to turn the kids loose and not have to worry about something getting broke. The house itself was wonderful and the sauna was a definite plus. Next time we go back to the area, we definitley want to stay here again.

It was just my husband and I, but the place is big with enough room for a large group. Great location to everything in Houghton but feel like you're in the country. Well stocked, clean, everything you need. Fabulous price!

Great place to reconnect with Houghton. It’s very convenient and a cozy place to wind down. Really, can you top a day at Lake Superior? Yes, if it ends with a sauna. Thanks!
