About this property

The Penny House: CLEAN with garage, one block from trails & stores

Cozy 3 bedroom, 1 bath house completely remodeled top to bottom with all amenities you would need. Bedroom 1 has a queen bed in the lower level of the house, bedroom 2 is a full size bed in the upper level of the house, and bedroom 3 has 2 twin beds in the upper level of the house. The house has two air conditioning units (Seasonal). Fully equipped kitchen and washer/dryer. One car long garage to park vehicles, ATVs, snowmobiles and water crafts. The garage is especially useful in the event of unexpected mechanical issues where working indoors will keep you out of the elements. The house is fully accessible to 585 miles of ATV trails, 3000 miles of snowmobile trails, 30-45 minutes from multiple ski hills, Porcupine Mountain National Park, Bond Falls, Agate Falls, and hiking trails. The house is a block away from the snowmobile and ATV trails, grocery store, gas station, restaurants and bars.

Family snowmobile trip

The house was clean warm and comfortable. Nice bedding and plush towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. The front and back porch area were nice to hang and store gear. There are 2 driveways that were well plowed out with room to easily park a truck and 30 ft trailer, a truck and 10 ft trailer and 7 snowmobiles. It snowed everyday and each day a tractor and loader came and removed the pile of snow left by the snowplow at the end of the driveway which was really great. Very close to trails, gas and groceries. Sandy was quick to respond to questions we had. Sandy set up and extra roll away bed for us and our family of 7 was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Penny House for your stay.

Ski and Snowboarding Porkies

We enjoyed our stay and the home was very clean, comfy and cozy! This was our second time staying here and love the central location between Snow River, Powderhorn, and Porkies. Also having the grocery store just around the corner makes it very convenient for those couple of food items we forgot to pack. We will be back again!

Clean

Very clean house. Accurately described. Being able to use the garage to park the snowmobiles was helpful. Someone plowed the driveways in a timely manor. Only down fall was the busy road and backing in the snowmobile trailer.

a cute little home

Very clean, very homey home. Everything we needed was right there at our fingertips. We enjoyed our stay at the Penney House. I think the only thing that would have made this home a perfect getaway for us would have been a different location -being on a busy highway. I would love to pluck it from its location and put it out in the country but that is impossible. Otherwise it was a very nice stay.

Family Vacation

We stayed at the house for one week with our 4 kids, ranging in ages 7-15. The house was very clean and bright. We had a fabulous time. The location is perfect with a gas station and grocery nice and close. Bruce Crossing was central to everything we wanted to do on vacation (Porcupine Mountains, Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, Keweenaw Peninsula). There are also a couple waterfalls with some hiking close by! If there’s anything I would add it would maybe be a air conditioned window unit upstairs but we made do. I would recommend this place to my family and friends and if we come back would stay again!

Base camp

We used this property as a base camp while seeking out waterfalls in the U.P.. It served its purpose. Clean and everything worked. The garage as an option seems nice but we never went in there as we had no need to. All information was provided through email and no issues came up that we needed to contact property management/owners. The shower is a bit small but I’m a big guy at 6’1 250+ lbs and I was able to fit. My kids had no issues either. I am happy the way everything worked out and anything I didn’t get accomplished is on me. Went way better than our last trip up North.
