Overnight stay on a drive across the upper Midwest. Comfortable beds, very accessible location. Hosts were awesome and so easy to work with. Property had a cool and creative vibe for motor enthusiasts. Loved it! Would be perfect for a stay with snowmobiles or motorcycles!

This was definitely a unique base camp, but it served us beautifully. We had our side-by-side with and could ride right from the property or do short trailer to other trails. We could even bring the machine inside with us! I also had my e-bike with and trails for that were nearby too. Waterfalls, the Copper Peak experience, Porcupine Mtns, all within a short distance.

MI Weekend

My sister and partner wanted to do a kid-free get away for the weekend and found this location. PERFECT for a short stay and located in a great 'middle' location from many of the hiking trails we wanted to explore. Our stay was comfortable, low maintenance and exactly what we were looking for. The neighborhood was quiet save one evening when some folks were up next to the building carrying on a bit but no harm. We loved that we could park the car in the garage! This would be a great place for snowmobiling too. We can already see the benefiits! The property was well maintained, clean, very user friendly and any of the amenities we would suggest are not really needed since we wanted 'simple'. Oh and an AMAZING shower! Over all we were very pleased with our stay, the accommodations and value. Thank you!

Hidden Gem in the UP

I was immediately drawn to a converted service station and knew this was the place. The communication from the host was phenomenal - always very expedient and thorough. The place was better than the pictures. If you're into the industrial/homey combo - you're in luck! The place is completely thought through. Dishes, wood stove, towels, etc. Everything you could possibly need to cook and relax.It was a total win for my friend and I - and the location is absolutely perfect. Central and close to everything - and you can see rock formations/mountains in the background across the street.Highly recommend and hope to get back there soon.

UP Ski Trip

Had a great time this year at the Shop! The kitchen is well stocked and the place was comfortable with the humidifier going. I most enjoy the location to ski resorts and ability to park indoors. This is my favorite place to stay.

Excellent place to stay for skiing/snowmobiling

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We laughed about having our sleds in our living room, but loved every minute of it. This places mixes function with comfort. The beds were extremely comfortable and I loved that there were multiple different kinds of pillows to choose from. Everything you could ever need for a weekend get away to ski or snowmobile was here and thought of.

Fabulous repurposed VRBO

I love all things historic, and thought it was so cool the way they had set this place up as a VRBO. Comfortable beds and lots of inside room to play games when the weather was bad outside.

The shop was a perfect spot to eat and relax for a long weekend of skiing in the UP. It had a nice bedroom and living space and I loved the feel of an old garage. I definitely will come back to this place
