We chose Hancock last minute as our home base for a few days while exploring the Keweenaw and was lucky to find this gem. Dan and his wife think of everything! They pretty much have you covered if you forgot anything also. We enjoyed sitting out by the water one evening while our daughter played in the water. We also had to end our evenings with games in the game room.Would definitely stay again if we're in the Hancock area. First time to the Keweenaw and I loved it!

Great memorial day weekend

We all had a great time at this VRBO!! Great location, very clean, and plenty to do at the VRBO itself. We took full advantage of all the amenities. Not only did they have video games. These are special one's with over 50 games on each one. We will be back in the future.

Enjoyed our stay

Unit was very clean and nicely laid out with thoughtful amenities included (appreciated the coffee bar!). Kids enjoyed the game room and jacuzzi. We would love to come back in summer to take advantage of kayaking the Portage and sitting around the fire pit. Location where units sit was a little odd (gravel/industrial site) but other than that, was perfect,Easy to get back/forth to Houghton. Thank you!!

Our stay was excellent. It is definitely one of the best places we have stayed. The only suggestion I have is to fully stock the kitchen. We only had 2 steak knives and there were no spatulas. We made it work, but for someone that plans to cook a lot during thier stay, it may make it a little difficult.

Was out of town working for the week. This place was more economical than staying in hotel. Could sit and relax by the beach,cast a fishing line. Etc.

Clean & comfy

This was our 1st vrbo stay. We really enjoyed our stay. The cabin was as described clean and cozy and the price was fair. It had all of the things we needed and my teens loved the activities. Although it rained our entire stay, we used the hot tub & game space. The decor was very nice and we felt like guests. The communication was good and directions on the fridge were helpful. I hope they continue to work on the lot because it was dirty & muddy from the rain. Overall we would highly recommend. Thank you for allowing us to use your space.

Updated and clean

The unit we stayed in was nice and clean. Nice touches that you don’t always see. Especially loved the little coffee area. Decor was nice and the furniture & beds were comfy. The only downside was the shower, it was rather small. I’m an average girl and felt cramped.

Clean and modern

Liked having a tv in both the living room and in one of the bedrooms and also having central air throughout the cabin and fans in each bedroom. The living room, kitchen, and dining space was a nice size. Everything was clean and worked; liked having a Keurig and an assortment of coffee and flavored coffee syrup. The shower was small.

Noisy

The house is clean and well supplied. We did not cook, we only had a couple cups of coffee but they had everything for cooking. We got cabin 1, found out we got cabin 1 only the day before when we got the code to the entrance. I thought we were facing the water when i booked , but i guess i did not realize that 2 cabins are not 1 and 2 . Had i realized that i would not have paid $972 for two nights, way overpriced to face a road. But that is not even the issue, the main issue that the bedroom window faces 2 huge noisy ACs, and a very bright light to an entrance door to where they have a sauna. i took pictures of the 2 AC. We turned off our AC off because we just could not sleep, but the other cabin had theirs on. I left my husband in the middle of the night and went into the smaller bedroom, there is no window facing the AC, but the wall is paper thin and i could still hear it unfortunately. The next afternoon we decided to just drive home, and not spend another sleepless night before a very long drive. So in the end we spend $972 for 1 sleepless night. A little hard to swallow, we will not go back. I don't know about the other cabins, i am only speaking about cabin 1, We saw that they have a sauna and a tub for guests and , that really looks nice.
