Great place to stay near Houghton

The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of towels. We had a few questions and the host was very responsive and even stopped by to help us with the TV. Plenty of parking if you come with a trailer. We stayed for MTu graduation and it was very convenient. Definitely would recommend.

Enjoyed our stay

Went to son’s MTU graduation. Very much enjoyed our stay! Had originally planned to stay at local motel but this had so much more room for similar price. Like other reviews, outside of building was questionable, but inside was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again.

Great place and location for a sled trip

This property was very neat and clean. Nice 3BR updated in an old building with character. Super convenient off the trail for our snowmobile trip. The host was super and everything was great.

Convenient & Historical Location in Houghton

Very clean and roomy upstairs apartment with a small grassy area for our dog. We loved the convenience of the location. Exploring the Keewenaw was wonderful ahead of our son’s MTU move-in.

The communication with the host was excellent! He was very quick to respond. It is an old building and the stairs are a little uneven. Due to minor structural updates It was hard to hold the hand rail. Other than that, we had a great stay. It was clean and had plenty of towels and kitchen items for what we needed. We didn't hear anything from the downstairs neighbors. The windows are large, have screens, and are easy to open. This was nice since it was hot and we put fans by the windows. It's

Great space!

Clean and spacious. Worked great for us. The $1,500 deposit seemed a bit extreme (although it was during Winter Carnival) and was refunded after I inquired. Loved the original woodwork, doors, etc. And the large historical print in the downstairs entryway (with the building highlighted) was very cool!

Once I found it

It was great! The little dirt road path is hard to find in the dark and the property isn’t marked on the outside so it’s hard to know if it’s the right place until you walk in. But it was clean and spacious and definitely a great choice

Quick Visit

Had a quick visit. Property is in great location and is a good size for multiple guests. It is in a very old building with uneven floors, but has a lot of character. Our kids chose not to stay with us because they were creeped out. It’s not the cleanest place we’ve stayed in, either. Linens were fine, but there were a lot of flies everywhere. Flies on countertops, floors, windows, etc. Some alive, some dead. I recommend owner put at light or reflectors at end of drive, as it’s difficult to see as well.
