My son and I stayed in this beautiful little house during Michigan Tech's move-in weekend. The house looks tiny from the outside but, once inside, is deceptively spacious. There are two living areas, one with a TV, and a well-appointed kitchen. The master bedroom and the secondary queen bedroom are good size, but the single bedroom is quite small -- suitable for a child or someone without luggage (this isn't a "bad" thing, just something to note if booking the house). The house was exceptionally clean and well appointed, including a full-size washer/dryer. The two bathrooms are beautiful, with large showers (no bathtub) and plenty of towels. And although we brought our own toiletries, the host helpfully provided hand wash, body wash and shampoo. A previous review called the neighborhood "tired," which is unfair. The neighborhood is old -- but so is almost everything in the Keweenaw, and Calumet in particular, so that hardly seems an important descriptor. What is important is that the house sits on a corner lot of a rather busy street (at least, it was busy when we were there) so that's something to consider if you're a light sleeper. It didn't bother us, but we did notice it. All in all, we really loved staying at this house! It gave us plenty of room to spread out, a lovely kitchen in which to cook meals, and a perfect location convenient to MTU and everything else the Keweenaw has to offer. We'll absolutely stay here again!

The house is lovely and very clean and new. It is a great location, within walking distance of historic downtown Calumet as well as a grocery store. We had 5 of us staying here with plenty of space. The house has outdoor space with 2 chairs on a cement patio, and plenty of space to park. It is right on the main road into Houghton/Hancock, as well as M26 to Lake Linden, with easy access to all points north on the Keweenaw and within 15-20 min. of Lake Superior beaches. The area is an old mining town so housing in this area reflects its age, but this home has been lovingly renovated. Communication with the host was responded to quickly. We would stay in this home again if in the area!

This is a great place to stay. It is freshly renovated and very clean. The location is good. It is close to the local grocery store and it is a block off 41. It is walkable to the hospital. There is a bit of road noise but it is not too bad. It has a nice big driveway that could accommodate multiple cars. I would definitely stay here again.

My family stayed here over Christmas so that we could spend the holiday with our son who is stationed nearby with the Coast Guard. It was a perfect home base for the 4 of us. The house is very comfortable and cozy and the host was so kind to provide us with a Christmas tree and decorations . She also left us some delicious local fudge and a nice coffee bar. Both were a very nice unexpected treat.The size was perfect for the four of us, washer/dryer were handy, smart TV made streaming a breeze. Bedrooms were basic but comfortable. The house is on a busy corner. Pulling in and out of the driveway is absolutely no problem. The only reason I mention this is because you do hear traffic at night. We cooked a lot during our stay. While the kitchen supplies were basic, we managed just fine. I do feel that scratched teflon should be replaced, though. Overall, we had a perfect holiday here and hope to see back… when it’s warmer !

The unit was immaculate. It is not cluttered, which we like. Everything worked well. The unit is located in Laurium, but just a mile or so from downtown Calument, which has some great shopping and restaurants. Would stay here again.

Put together cute , older house that would benefit from a couple storm doors. Wind blowing so much around them we had to crank the heat to make main floors tolerable, which made upstairs bedrooms almost too hot to sleep. Granted it was 10-15 degrees outside. FewOther niceties in kitchen would be some foil and ziplock bags for leftovers. No outside address numbers on house, drove around block 3 times to verify we had right place.

Overall the property provided us what we needed, a place to relax and sleep after exploring areas in the Keweenaw Peninsula. It was quite warm while we were there, so the downstairs area got a little stuffy without central air, but it wasn’t too bad.

The house is lovely and very clean and new. It is a great location, within walking distance of historic downtown Calumet as well as a grocery store. We had 5 of us staying here with plenty of space. The house has outdoor space with 2 chairs on a cement patio, and plenty of space to park. It is right on the main road into Houghton/Hancock, as well as M26 to Lake Linden, with easy access to all points north on the Keweenaw and within 15-20 min. of Lake Superior beaches. The area is an old mining town so housing in this area reflects its age, but this home has been lovingly renovated. Communication with the host was responded to quickly. We would stay in this home again if in the area!

House was exactly as advertised. Plenty of room for our group of four adults. Very clean and comfortable. Perfect location if you want to ski or snowmobile. Host was easy to reach. Would definitely stay here again!

The house is lovely and very clean and new. It is a great location, within walking distance of historic downtown Calumet as well as a grocery store. We had 5 of us staying here with plenty of space. The house has outdoor space with 2 chairs on a cement patio, and plenty of space to park. It is right on the main road into Houghton/Hancock, as well as M26 to Lake Linden, with easy access to all points north on the Keweenaw and within 15-20 min. of Lake Superior beaches. The area is an old mining town so housing in this area reflects its age, but this home has been lovingly renovated. Communication with the host was responded to quickly. We would stay in this home again if in the area!

My family and I stayed here to get my son moved in to MTU for his first year. The house was just like the pictures. Very bright, clean, and spatious. It suited our needs perfectly, and the host quickly responded to us when needed. House is easy to find and lots of stores within 10inutes away.

My family stayed here over Christmas so that we could spend the holiday with our son who is stationed nearby with the Coast Guard. It was a perfect home base for the 4 of us. The house is very comfortable and cozy and the host was so kind to provide us with a Christmas tree and decorations . She also left us some delicious local fudge and a nice coffee bar. Both were a very nice unexpected treat.The size was perfect for the four of us, washer/dryer were handy, smart TV made streaming a breeze. Bedrooms were basic but comfortable. The house is on a busy corner. Pulling in and out of the driveway is absolutely no problem. The only reason I mention this is because you do hear traffic at night. We cooked a lot during our stay. While the kitchen supplies were basic, we managed just fine. I do feel that scratched teflon should be replaced, though. Overall, we had a perfect holiday here and hope to see back… when it’s warmer !

Nice clean accommodations within walking distance of Calumet restaurants and historic sites. Central location in the Keweenaw for exploring a variety of beaches and hiking trails.

We came looking for snow and found it. This house was very clean and cozy. The location was close to Swede town and we were able to day trip to Copper Harber and Mount Bohemia spa.

Was a wonderful place to stay!!! We were up for a wedding and the location was perfect! We were able to sneak in some rock hunting and then come back to relax with a home cooked meal before sleeping for the events of the next day! Beds and entire home was very nice and peaceful. Felt right home! Thanks Alexa!

The unit was immaculate. It is not cluttered, which we like. Everything worked well. The unit is located in Laurium, but just a mile or so from downtown Calument, which has some great shopping and restaurants. Would stay here again.

This VRBO home is very clean, modern, roomy, and very well supplied. It’s within a minute of historic downtown Calumet. Also close proximity to both sides of Peninsula, as well as Houghton/Hancock and Copper Harbor area. Highly recommend!

The house was cute and very clean. It’s right outside the downtown area and an easy drive from Houghton. Lots of beautiful places to hike and explore. We traveled with a 2 year old and 6 month old. There was plenty of room for a pack n play in the larger bedroom and nothing for the kids to get into that they shouldn’t.

This house was better than I thought. The open kitchen, dining and living room made it a great place to hang out and enjoy family. It was very clean and comfortable. Would definitely stay here again!

Our stay at Miners Rest was AMAZING! The host prepared us with information to local dining and attractions. The home gave us space to relax and unwind after long days outdoors. We were here to visit Michigan Tech and do some snowboarding. 40 inches of fresh snow was cleared and maintained during our 4 day stay. We will certainly book another stay when visiting again!
