About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Gateway to Outdoor Adventure in the Keweenaw! - Dog Friendly & MTU 2.3 miles!

The Miner is beautifully remodeled, and centrally located in historic Hancock MI. The the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail #17 is located directly across the street, offering easy access to hundreds of miles of groomed trails taking you across Michigan's Upper Peninsula.

We provide easy access to Houghton (1.6 miles), Michigan Tech (2.3 miles), Finlandia University (.3 miles), and historic Calumet is only 13.8 miles away.

Please note that we are located along Lincoln St (US41) and the snowmobile trail. I would hate to lose your business because of it, but I would rather make sure you are happy with your stay. If you are a very light sleeper, other accommodations might be better suited for your needs. If want to be in the middle of everything, I have no doubt that you will love it!

A portion of all bookings goes to support local youth ice hockey programs.

Great little place to stay that comes with everything you could imagine. The accommodation was super clean and cozy. Superb location in Hancock and not too far from MTU. Theres a great restaurant across the street and you get a great view of the snowmobile trails!

We stayed with our family, including a baby over Christmas. The place was just as expected. It was clean, had a nice pack and play and was spacious. We really enjoyed our stay and the home had everything we needed and expected. It was an easy and comfortable stay:)

Great spot, centrally located to access fun spots all over the UP. Cold AC and comfy beds! Only downside was road noise as it’s right on the main drag in Hancock.

We didn’t spend much time at the cabin but had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfy and all the decor is so cute. We loved it and would rent again. The road is a little noise starting at and 5:30am.

Fantastic in town landing pad for attending weekend events at MTU
Wonderful property that is well stocked with many amenities. Check in was a breeze. The place was immaculately clean! Great open living and kitchen area. Would be great for couples or a family. No problems at all during the stay. Host was just a phone call away to help with anything needed.

Great place!
A couple of us stay here when we are sledding in the UP and it's a great place to stay for the weekend! From a location standpoint, it is right on the snowmobile trail in Hancock, so it doesn't get any better than that. Fred is great to work with and 'The Miner' is clean, comfortable, and fully stocked if you wanted to cook. We opted to walk across the street to Gino's both nights and grab some great food after a long day of riding. Will definitely be staying here again and I can't say enough about it!

Nice Place Along the snowmobile trail
Great place for a snowmobile trip, my only caution would be trailer size. My small clamshell trailer fit in the driveway, a bigger trailer would not have fit.

Great Spot!
Great spot to stay. Restaurant right across the road. As they say in the listing it can be a little noisy but usually pretty quiet after 10/11pm…. Blackout shades would be nice, especially in the front bedroom, but overall great place to stay and we will stay again next time we are in the area. We have stayed all over the UP, this place is in the top 5 for sure, nicely decorated, good amenities, good proximity for the town, comfortable beds, overall great place for the price range!

Well equipped stay, great property
We had a great trip to Hancock and look forward to visiting the area again. The Miner is a great property, best equipped VRBO or AirBB I’ve stayed at ! The only thing that didn’t work well for us was the noise. We are early to bed and early to rise. The property is on a very busy street and the trail was more active with snowmobiles than we expected. The property is awesome but if you’re looking for a quiet spot this isn’t for you.

Perfect!
Came up for the weekend to snowmobile. Property is literally across the street from the trail system. House is super clean. Has everything you need. Very well renovated! I pulled my snowmobile trailer and a friend brought up her vehicle. I can’t say what it would be like with more snow since the snow was lacking up there to start off sled season but we had no problems with parking for my SUV, 14ft trailer and her Jeep. Overall I would absolutely stay again! This is a gem inside and the outside is within walking distance to a couple of restaurants.

Wonderful stay!
To start, the communication and responsiveness with owner was great before and during stay. The house was as described. Loved the decor and comfort. Had just what we needed available for some light cooking (had more just didn't need to use all). Loved the copper themed decorl! Plenty of room for hanging with family and relaxing. Despite being on busy street, had no issue with street noise while sleeping or other. Good room for parking in front of building and walking my little dog. I myself couldn't see/access number on lock box when getting into property in dark, my mom luckily could see but, that is my issue but wanted to mention for others that may not see well up close and at night. We very much enjoyed our stay and will stay again if available as it is nice and close to MTU (visiting son at college) as well as other places in area.

Hancock's Gateway to the Copper Country
This was my second stay at the Miner. Love the location (I lived in Hancock as a student), easy getting to MTU's campus and on the way out of town toward the Keweenaw. What more could you want? The Miner is clean, comfortable, warm (can be important in the UP) and spacious. I'm in Houghton/Hancock frequently - looking forward to staying here again.
