What a fun and comfortable spot. Our adult children joined us as our youngest graduated from Michigan Tech. The location was great, beds very comfortable and the unit was amazingly spacious. Thank you for the hospitality!
Clean, comfy, good icecream downstairs. We rode bikes and hiked in Copper Harbor during the day and relaxed and spent time as a family at night. They had a good selection of family games and puzzles for use. Would definitely stay here again.
This is the second time we stayed here for a friends’ ski/snowboard trip, and it was just was wonderful as we remembered from last year! Jane was fantastic in accommodating us, and we are looking forward to staying here next year as well!
Third year coming up to the UP with our ski/board friend group (although this year was a bit of a bust for snow). We stay here every time, and love the boxcar! It’s a great home base for exploring the area. Thanks for the wonderful stay!

Precious time with mom and dad. PERFECT accommodations for handicapped momma.
Nice for a close family. A large open room- no privacy. The bathroom is beautifully done for wheelchair access, however, the shower needs some grab bars as there are none. Wonderfully supplied with refrigerator full kitchen silverware and even spoces!

Super cute
This is a super cute place with plenty of room for a family of 6. Loved the place and the ice cream downstairs. It was quite warm while we were there, could have used another fan or two. Would stay again.
We love this place and any chance we can to visit our favorite places in the Keweenaw. Sad to not have the ice cream this year, but hoping it will be back soon!

We decided to book this location for a last-minute getaway during fall school break for a family of four. The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, and the Wi-Fi kept all of us online. I would have no problem working remotely from here using the Wi-Fi, but this was a short vacation, so remote work was not in my plans for this trip :-).
We loved the strategic location of this property, which made it easy to visit Houghton and the Michigan Tech campus, as well as the northernmost portion of the Keweenaw Peninsula. We also thought the little library of DVDs was a nice touch and watched one as a family after a busy day of touring around.
Overall, this was a wonderful place to stay, and I would come back if we were in the area again!
Brand new door needs striker plate adjusted. Extremely hard to open. We couldn’t get it, but Jacob, young man running the ice cream shop below, was very helpful and pleasant. (Needs a raise!). He helped us with Internet also (password had been changed). One suggestion I would make is that a curtain be put over window at bottom of stairs.
This property was exactly as stated above the local ice cream window. As the property is just off the highway (41) there is some minor street noise, but the customer traffic below is typically pretty steady but subtle. We enjoyed the best ice cream EVER each night, and with 25 flavors to choose from, it was tough choosing!
Jane has a well-appointed property with comfortable beds and most amenities you could ever hope for. The only two suggestions I would make:
1) add smoke detectors to the apartment
2) tell the staff not to overcook the bison burgers. They are billed as tender, but our three burgers were cooked as hard as dinner plates. Since bison don't transmit ecoli, there should be little worry about undercooking.
Thanks - all in all a great stay in a beautiful scenic peninsula!
The house was clean and well stocked. The owner was very responsive and helpful.
My husband and I were traveling with his parents who are in their 70s. The stairs were a bit steep but we all managed fine. The beds were comfy and we all slept great.
We brought ATVs, but the trails (#3 in particular) were way too rough. It took us about 1.5hrs in a side by side to get to Bete Gris Bay and we may have losened some teeth on the way. We also took a shorter ride to Gratiot Park on dirt roads and that was enjoyable. The sunset was great there and so were the rocks.
The town is very sleepy, so you'll want to get groceries before you arrive. We did find great food at Galcia nearby and there were a few other restaurant options we didn't try. The ice cream below the apartment was delicious. We didn't have a chance to try the bison hot dogs, so I guess we'll have to go back :)
Overall, this was a great stay. I highly recommend.

If you’re looking for a peaceful and quiet stay this property is not for you. The noise from the road is very load and constant. A lot of motorcycles. We had two 90 degree days and it was very hot in the apartment, especially being on the second level ,so closing the windows was not an option. The inside is nicely updated And mostly comfortable. Great beds and living area. However, There is only one bathroom and it is tiny, no where to place your toiletries. The tub had what lookEd like mildew. The bottom of the stairs had plastic sheeting covering an area next door that was under construction. One morning there was someone in that part of the building. They could have easily Come in the apartment. I found this disturbing.. Finally, after traveling all day,Tired and hungry, when we arrived the combination didn’t work. After several Frustrating tries, we decided to call the owner. She answered immediately and told us she changed the combination and we should have received her email. Well, it turns out she did send an email that morning but it would be impossible to get it because there is no signal in the keewanaw. Be aware The steps up to the apartment are steep and difficult to carry your luggage up and especially down. I feel this property should Be advertised toward winter guests.
It was a great place for our family, clean, cozy, with all the amenities. The steps may be difficult for some. It in a great location to explore the peninsula
