About this property

A cozy retreat nestled in the forest of the UP just minutes from downtown Houghton and the Keweenaw Peninsula. At the top of a wooded driveway, you'll be welcomed by our free-range chicken flock and possibly our cute little Nigerian dwarf goats. This private off-grid farm stay is located on 14 beautiful acres and provides all the amenities you'll need for a memorable stay, including a private deck overlooking our gardens and solar panels.

The 500 sq ft studio loft sleeps up to four guests in a queen bed and comfortable futon. There is a full bathroom and kitchen with cooking basics, including pots and pans, dishes and silverware, coffee and tea, etc. The studio loft is located above our detached garage and has a private entrance that is completely separate from the main house. Parking is located next to the garage and solar powered lights guide the way up the one flight of stairs to the studio loft.

During your stay, you will have the opportunity to take a tour of our small-scale, regenerative farm. On the tour, you will get a chance to meet our two Nigerian dwarf goats and see our honey bee hives. Guests are welcome to hike around the property and visit with our animals. We also offer a variety of unique tours and experiences, including beekeeping, wild mushroom foraging, and a goat happy hour.

We are conveniently located minutes from several trail systems, including the Michigan Tech Trails that are less than a mile away. Our central location allows guests to enjoy day trips to the Keweenaw Peninsula, the Porcupine Mountains, and other scenic gems offered in the western Upper Peninsula. If conditions are right, guests may have the ability to enjoy stargazing and possibly even see the northern lights (assuming cloud-free nights)!

What an amazing place and people

We have been coming to Houghton for 5 years while our son was in college and this is by far the best place we have ever stayed. 100 percent perfect.

Great spot to explore the UP!

Heather was a lovely host and the apartment above her garage was perfect for two. We cooked several meals using the well equipped kitchen. The apartment is quite spacious for two and the farm itself is very peaceful. It's just a few minutes outside of Houghton in the middle of the peninsula so makes a good base of operations for exploring the area. Definitely recommend it to others.
