The main floor of this rental is for the owner’s storage. The loft rental area contains three bedrooms, three baths with tiled walk in showers and a sauna. It provides beds to sleep sixteen, perfect for a family reunion or a large group. It also includes a full kitchen, surround sound system, as well as a washer and dryer. The well-designed kitchen along with an outside charcoal grill makes cooking easy for those who want to eat in rather than go out. All pots, pans, dishes, towels and sheets are provided. You only need to bring your consumable goods!

Many antique items used in the loft have been obtained from our local area. Interior building materials were reclaimed from old barns and buildings. The corrugated metal roofing lining the interior ceiling and some walls came from the Ford wood plant in Pequaming. (This plant provided local wood for the construction of the Ford Model T and A cars built in the 1920 and 30's). Reclaimed hardwood’ over 100 years old was used for the flooring. Interior walls are also finished with reclaimed wood.

A lot of local history has been used in the decoration of this rental property. Some items came from the Atlas Powder plant formerly located on the 1400 acres behind the property. There are also many logging tools, some over 100 years old.

All of this adds up to a large comfortable space with a very cozy feeling.

We were in the UP for an extended family vacation and had an amazing stay at the Kemp's Loft Rental! Rental was exactly as described, clean, and had anything and everything one could need while there. Great communication from owners. All the kids (ages 5-17) loved the bunk room. We all loved the amenities by the lake! Private location, but close to MTU and the Keweenaw. Would definitely stay again!

This property was perfect for our stay with our extended family! We had three families, two with children and the arrangement of the rooms and bathrooms made for a comfortable stay for all. The kitchen is well equipped and table seating let us feed our large group easily. Super cozy lodge to hang out in and play games, watch football, visit. Great proximity to campus for the MTU basketball games (Go Huskies!). And easy to access hikes to the north (Hungarian Falls). Will definitely stay many more times!

Our stay at Kemps Loft/carriage house was very enjoyable. Although the outdoor pavilion and waterfront area are shared with two of the other guest houses on the property, we didn't have any trouble sharing. The lake was very clean and not nearly as cold as we expected. The waterfront pavilion and outdoor kitchen were well set up and a great way to spend time near the water. They had 2 paddle boards and 2 kayaks down by the lake plus boards for corn hole (not a full set of bags though, so maybe bring your own!). The house was well stocked with almost everything we needed (in some cases, more than we expected - like the sauna!). Be aware that the entrance does contain a long flight of shallow stairs (33 steps). It was setup really well for a large group and we had an amazing time!

We decided to do a destination Christmas this year for us and our adult children. Ideally we wanted a winter wonderland with lots of snow and a cozy place to enjoy our time together. Our Dollar Bay Barndominium was perfect. The place was right out of a magazine with open but inviting spaces and plenty of room for all 10 of us. We were there 12/23 - 12/26 and had a magical Christmas morning with a giant breakfast cooked in the amazing kitchen and plenty of time sharing gifts and making unforgettable memories. The place was clean and meticulously maintained. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook all our meals and the beds were super comfy. We didn't use any of the outdoor spaces or go to the lake due to a blizzard and constant snowing. We would love to visit in the summer time to be able to experience the ambiance of the lake pavilion. If you're looking for a winter wonderland Houghton is the place to be.

Been renting properties for large groups for last 20 years, this property and the adjoining property were the nicest we have ever experienced. That along with the use of the lakeside pavilion and fire pit made this property top notch.

The Perfect Vacation

The Perfect Vacation

Upper Michigan is our favorite place to vacation - Sandy and Dan's Carriage House was the very first cabin/house rental of many we stayed, that was more beautiful and very accurate with the online pictures. Gorgeous house with all the comforts of home. Although we did; we did not need to leave the premises to enjoy our vacation. The Lake-Beach-Firepit and Pavillion were the perfect place to hang out, swim, enjoy water sports, play games, grill food and just relax in the fresh air while in or out of the sun. When we come back to The Keewenaw, we will for certain be looking at staying with the Kemps again!

Loved the living space and the beautiful location. Kids went swimming every day and played corn hole. Nothing to complain about except I expected the whole place to be air conditioned and only the main living area had air. The bedrooms were hot unless the nights cooled off. There were enough fans for each room and each also had ceiling fans.

From the moment we arrived, our time at the Carriage House was perfect! We had Everything we needed and more! The kitchen was very well equipped, bedrooms were great and very comfortable! And plenty of bathrooms for our group of eleven! Plenty of room to eat, play cards and games, and just hang out with each other. Our family is spread out across the U. S., so we appreciate anytime most of us can be together! Sandy was great to work with both prior to, and during our stay! Hope we get to come back again!

We had 12 people in our group, made up of 4 adults and our 8 adult age boys and their girlfriends. It was a great space for all of us. We really enjoyed using the lake side gazebo and firepit, and sharing it with the neighbors was no problem since they communicated to us when they were having a party. The owners were great! Very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. Wonderful location and within riding distance of so many great sight seeing areas.

We had an amazing trip to the UP and our stay at Kemp's Loft was what made it all possible! The Loft is absolutely beautiful, every inch of space has been precisely executed. There is plenty of room for your family to gather and is stocked with every kitchen supply you would realistically need. Having a full size washer/dryer was a life saver to keep the kids clothing fresh and dry! The stairs certainly helped us make sure we got our steps in each day:-) The Pavilion was by far our favorite place to spend the evenings, watch the sunset. We kayaked, paddle boarded, purchased fishing poles to fish and rented a pontoon boat for a few days to leave at the dock. The kids roasted marshmallows at the fire pit and we enjoyed watching a rainstorm from under the Pavilion.Sandy was by far the kindest owner/property manager I have ever dealt with and we look forward to a return trip in a few years! My kids said this was the best trip ever!!

Everything about this beautiful space was beyond excellent. The layout, the design, the space, the quality of the hard pressure fresh water, the convenience of having a washer and dryer, comfy beds, extra blankets and towels, a high quality sauna, the house was super clean and eased a lot of stress, there are plenty of other details and qualities of this cabin house! The outside space and location was just as amazing. I cannot wait to host another retreat here! Sandy is just as amazing and helpful.
