The house was beautiful, tastefully decorated with delightful details, so many that every time we looked around a room we found something new to ooh and aah at. The furnishings and amenities were plentiful, seems like someone had thought of almost anything we might need. The daytime and nighttime view were both fantastic, I got one of the closest and clearest looks I ever had at the moon and the stars with the binoculars they provided. The hosts were very responsive and extremely thoughtful. They even brought us enough staples to feed us when we were starving after a late night arrival, as well as breakfast and snacks for a trip to Isle Royale. We had fun at the neighboring Copper Mine Shaft as well. Our only regret was not being able to stay a little longer on this trip.

The architect and the designers hit it out of the park with this one. This is no ordinary home, this is the epitome of design and is matched perfectly to the unique site the home sits on. It's the perfect home for anyone that appreciates an awesome floor plan with exceptional views. The location provides a great home base for all of ones adventures throughout the Keweenaw Peninsula. Our adventures included a relaxing day long pontoon boat ride with plenty of swimming on Portage Lake and a lunch full of Pasties. We also took a leisurely car ride up to Copper Harbor to take in the sights in lieu of riding the ATV's up there. Back at the Ranch, one would think that everyone would gravitate towards the beautiful kitchen island to chit chat but you would be wrong, everyone in our group gravitated to the fire on the deck with the awesome views. We were by the fire in the cool early morning with coffee and late night before bed,,,a great spot to catch up with friends and family. All in all, our group had a wonderful 3 night stay at this magnificent luxury rental, it definitely feels like your own home away from home because they have all the creature comforts at your finger tips, from the couch to the kitchen, from the frying pan to the fridge and the saran wrap to the sauna, it's all there...just check-in and Enjoy!!

The views from this home are spectacular. We awoke the first morning to a gorgeous sunrise to the East and a double rainbow across the sky to the West. The home was clean and so beautiful and perfect for our stay with 4 couples. Well stocked kitchen and some added welcome touches made our stay very wonderful. We enjoyed the sauna several nights. Thanks so much and we will definitely be back!

I gave a rating of the listing as less than fully accurate because it did not convey completely how beautiful this home and location is!! We were here in the summer and the grounds and the view were stunning. The house is beautifully furnished & decorated, completely equipped, and so comfortable! Mike & Julie were great hosts, went out of their way to make us feel welcome, and were attentive to every question we had. Rave review!

This was easily the best rental experience ever.

We don’t usually leave reviews, but this property and its owners were a definite exception and deserve praise. This was easily our best rental experience ever, and we cannot wait to stay again. Our adult kids enjoyed the snack basket, and we gathered around the long kitchen island multiple times during our stay. When we reached out to the owners with a question, their response time was less than a couple of minutes. We cannot wait to stay again. Thank you!

Views for dayzzz!

We visited Houghton/Hancock for a long weekend to see our son at MTU. This house was amazing in warm and welcoming comfort. Our hosts Julie and Mike were very quick to communicate with and added special touches for us when we arrived, which we greatly appreciated! This house has a large, well equipped kitchen; spacious living room; comfortable bed; nice big primary bathroom; hot tub on the large deck. And the beautiful views out of all the windows. Clean and well kept; beautiful yard. Grocery and restaurants just down the street. We ate at Gino’s, The Library and the Den. All very good. We would definitely stay here again !

Fabulous home and location!

Beautiful, comfortable home, conveniently close to everything while still remaining private. Loved the hot tub, sauna and fire pit. Gorgeous views of the Lake from the expansive deck. Our family of 6 had more than enough room to spread out. Julie was very helpful with recommendations of local activities and restaurants, and was extremely responsive to any text, usually within a few mins. Would highly recommend staying at this gorgeous home!

the PERFECT mini mountain stay

the PERFECT mini mountain stay

Our stay at Julie and Mike's home far exceeded expectations. Clean, comfortable, and easy to get to from downtown Houghton along with PLENTY of room for our family of 6 to all spread out. They made sure we had the wifi password and access to the house well in advance and were VERY easy to get ahold of in case any questions arose. In addition to a hot tub with sprawling skyline views, a sauna, and beautiful family space this home was also complete with everything you'd need to whip up great family meals in addition to exploring local food flare that Julie and Mike so graciously displayed via menus in a beautiful welcome basket (there was also snacks and wine)! If you're looking for a home away from home to relax day through night or as a base for adventure into Copper Country look no further :) we will absolutely be back.

An amazing getaway!

An amazing getaway!

I knew the Hilltop House would be something special the moment I found it on VRBO. We walked into an absolutely beautiful house, and were greeted with freshly cut flowers from the garden and fresh groceries in the fridge ( saved us a trip to the store -thank you!) However, the view from the deck was priceless! Looking over the Portage Canal, the city of Houghton, and the lift bridge from above ..some days we didn’t want to leave the house! But it was nice to come home to -loved relaxing there at night with the gas fire pit. The property is very private and peaceful, and the perfect location for exploring the Keweenaw. We also highly recommend walking the trail right across from the house to The top of Mt. Ripley ..more amazing views! The Quincy Mine is within walking distance as well. We loved our stay here, Mike was great, and we would definitely come back :)

Fantastic Location to Explore UP

Fantastic Location to Explore UP

Amazing view from the deck down over Houghton! For our multi-generational family trip, someone was always on the deck either reading a book, admiring the view or enjoying the hot tub. It was a great jumping off point for day trip excursions around the Keweenaw peninsula. AE Seaman Mineral Museum is a hidden little gem enjoyed by all (including teenagers)! Mike and Julie were very welcoming and reached back out to answer any additional questions about the property we may have had after getting situated. This was a great touch that we hadn't experienced before through VRBO.

Heaven on earth

Julie and Mike's house on the hill overlooking Houghton/Portage Lake was nothing short of perfection. If you are lucky enough to get this house for your next trip, you probably won't want to leave! Watch the city lights twinkle as you relax in the hot tub, drink a glass of wine in the entertainment-ready kitchen, sleep tight in their sparkling clean bedrooms. We will be back!
