The property is very conveniently located and the size was perfect for our family's stay. We loved that we had access to the garage for parking. Kim was quick to respond with our questions, and we will definitely stay again when in the area.

The place is amazing. Very clean and spacious. Location to Houghton and the Keewenaw is perfect. We had five adults so the three bedrooms were perfect. Open kitchen/dining/living room space is perfect for being together. The outdoor patio and lawn on the water is wonderful. Loved the hot tub. This was our second time staying there and we hope to return again! Thank you for sharing your space with us!

We stayed while moving our son into his MTU apartment. This property was very spacious, comfortable and in a great location. Quiet area. Fully stocked. It literally had everything we needed. We made use of the grill and patio and enjoyed the view of the canal. The owner was very responsive to questions. We had a wonderful stay and would definitely stay here again.

We were all very impressed by this property! The pictures honestly don’t do the property, especially the outdoors, justice. It was spectacular! Large back patio with nice furniture, a grill, and hot tub. The yard is large and well maintained. And the views are stunning! We will definitely check here first if we return to the area!

We really enjoyed staying in this house for 3 nights while attending my son's graduation from Michigan Tech. It was a quick drive to campus, Houghton and Hancock. The house was well-appointed and very clean. Plenty of sleeping space and a beautiful view of the Portage. The owner was very responsive when we had any questions. Definitely would recommend!

We recently visited Houghton for a college visit with out son. This house was perfectly located, with a beautiful view of the river, great patio space and nicely set up. The house was extremely clean, the check in process was thoughtful and well managed and the host communicated everything really well. Everything was within a quick drive and it was nice to have the extra space to stretch out during our stay.
We really enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this if you’re visiting the area.

Very nice quiet home, with a spectacular view! All the rooms are huge! Sitting on patio is a vacation in itself with the bonus of a hot tub. This vacation home has everything you need and spotless.

Very nice house and location
Clean and neat house with everything we needed. Beautiful view of the canal especially at night. You can see Michigan tech and the loft bridge if you walk out by the water.
My kids loved the hot tub too!
Thank you!

The stay was AWESOME! The location was beautiful, Kim was great and the accommodations were lovely!
Everything was great! Highly recommend!!
Great for a weekend get away or anytime anyone wants a nice spot for a relaxing UP vacation. I bet it is pretty awesome in the winter too! There is a major trail just up from it that is a big snowmobiling trail in the winter. It is on the canal which is beautiful and has a hot tub that overlooks it, awesome spot!! Can’t recommend enough 😊

Wellness Check to MTU graduate son
My husband and I drove up from Battle Creek, MI to visit our son - Dec. 2019 MTU graduate who is working remotely and living in Houghton. The property was simply beautiful. Very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of space indoors and outdoors. The covered patio, yard space and waterfront was simply beautiful.
Directions to access house were perfect. The hot tub was a delight to use and the location was very close to both Hancock and Houghton. We shopped downtown Houghton, had drinks at KBC Brewery and dinner at the Ambassador (great pizza) and the Saturday night dined at Bonfire (Continental Fire Co) and listened to a great duo - Kathy and John - we stayed for all 3 sets - they were GREAT!
Visited Copper Harbor and loved hiking Hunter's Point - goes along Lake Superior. This is our son's 6th year in Houghton so we've seen/visited a lot of the area but its always nice to see and eat somewhere new. Stopped at the Gay Bar in Gay, Michigan on the drive back.
Suggestion/wishes:
- The weather was perfect during our visit and it would have been nice to have a couple kayaks available at/near the house to put in.
- I felt bad throwing away pop/beer cans but didn't want to bring them home or run to store with returnable - might be nice to have a can in garage to leave them for you to donate to school program, etc.
We would definitely return, thank you for sharing your home!
