We enjoyed how close the house was to Tech. It was easy to get down to the road along the portage for an early morning run. The house had everything we needed and was very newly updated and clean. Host was easy to contact. I'd stay here again if I was staying more than one night.

Really a pleasant and comfortable stay! The moment we entered, things smelled fresh and new! It is well furnished. Enjoyed the coffee and a fire out back as wood was provided! The location was nice with a beautiful view. The hosts were accessible and responsive. Would consider a return visit!

The property was exactly as described in the listing. It was very clean and well kept. It offered easy access to Hancock/Houghton, and was a nice quiet neighborhood to wind down at the end of the day.

The house was wonderful. It seems it was recently remodeled and looks brand new inside. It is very conveniently located to Hancock and Houghton with great views. Can’t wait to go back for Winter Carnival!

40th Birthday Trip

My husband turned 40 this year and decided it was time to take the UP trip he’s been dreaming of. We decided to try a VRBO instead of a hotel as we wanted something homie feeling for the last couple days of our trip. This place was perfection. Enough space for us to spread out but still enjoy time together. Close to tons of different shops and restaurants to explore and in driving distance of Copper Harbor! We loved every minute of our stay and are already trying to figure out when we will return. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
