Excellent Property - Downtown Houghton

This is a great, clean and convenient property right in downtown Houghton and minutes away from MTU. Parking is convenient and you can leave your car there as you walk anywhere in downtown. Amenities such as paper products and kitchen staples are ample. There were no surprises between the listing and actual property. I'd definitely stay again.

Great Location!

This apartment is super clean and in a prime location. We frequently vacation to this area and camp but couldn't make it work this year and found this place as an alternative - we would definitely stay here again! Being able to walk out the front door and not have to find parking to enjoy downtown Houghton was an awesome perk. The kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and it was the perfect amount of space for the three of us.

Stay here instead of a hotel!

Such a cute apartment in a great location. Decorated so nicely, made you feel at home. Lots of space for us and lots of parking space, including for our trailer. We would definitely stay there again. So glad I canceled the hotel and booked this apartment. And it was less expensive. Property owner was great with communication.

Perfect

This was the perfect place for my husband and son to stay during son’s summer program at Mich Tech. He wasn’t ready to stay on campus, and great excuse to visit the area for my husband! 4 mins to campus, walk to stores. Husband said great for 2-3 people. Plan to reserve this place in the future! So if you want it but it’s booked, blame us.

Perfect stay for Winter Carnival!

My son and his friend are MTU alumni who returned to Houghton for Winter Carnival. The property is in a perfect location and just as described. Communication was great. Check in was easy and the owners were flexible for check in and out times. They accidentally left belongings behind when they left and the owners sent them by special mail to make sure they arrived undamaged. We very much appreciated the extra attention. Great property! Thanks so much!
