D's Base Camp

What guests think

D's Base Camp consistently earns praise for its spacious multi bedroom suites with living areas and kitchens, friendly hosts, plentiful parking, and a convenient base near Houghton for exploring the Keweenaw, though some upkeep and age show through.

Most guests find it clean and comfortable, with quiet nights and a layout well suited to families or groups. Recurring downsides include dated cookware and occasional minor issues like burnt out bulbs, stained furnishings, or missed cleaning. Expect a roomy, practical stay geared to adventurers and value seekers.

Very comfortable and generally clean. Enjoyed having a full apartment with seating area and kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Not as clean as the hotels we had stayed in during our trip as some furniture had significant stains on them which made me not want to use it. Kitchen pans could use replacing. It would have been helpful to have a guide on how to use the two remotes: finally figured them out after some frustration.

What a pleasant surprise for us when we arrived at D's Base Camp. Located right off the highway. Staff very friendly and ready to assist when needed. We had 3 spacious bedrooms with each having room for 3 to sleep. Two full bathrooms, very clean and roomy. We also had a nice living room and kitchen. While we didn't cook, it appeared to have everything we'd need to cook, if we had chose to. I definitely would stay again, when in the area. One thing to note is the lodging was on the 2nd floor with no elevator.

There is plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There is plenty of parking, and very quiet and peaceful. It's located right off of a highway and houghton is minutes away. Don and Donna are very kind and the cabins are cozy and well supplied with kitchen utensils and other conveniences. This was our third time, and there will definitely be a fourth.

D’s Base Camp caters more to adventurers, whilst we simply needed a reasonably priced place to stay overnight for college move-in weekend. With that said, you really can’t go wrong with multiple rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. Will be looking to stay here again the next time we’re in town.

We really enjoyed D'Bar! Perfect place to sprawl out and relax. We really enjoyed our stay. Especially nice that they had a full kitchen and dining area where we could cook our own meals. Close to Houghton and only an hour from Copper Harbor. Loved it all.

Property catered to ATV and Snowmobilers. "Suite" of three bedrooms the two of us stayed in could easily have slept a large party of nine. We opted to stay here as the on-line availability of rooms in Houghton was too costly. This unit had a flat rate for the night which was more affordable. While the decor was vintage, I would book again under similar circumstances.

The amount of space and places to sleep were great with the kids along. The outside light was burnt out so it was pitch dark when we arrived. The one bedroom also had a light bulb out and didn’t work. There was one window air conditioner and it was in a bedroom so the door had to stay open to cool the main area. Parking was great as we could park next to our room. When looking to make sure we had everything while looking under beds the floor was not clean. The batteries in the tv remote were dead and so we used the box itself attached to the tv which was very annoying. All in all it was ok but not great.

We thought we were staying in a cabin it didn't say a upstairs apartment above a garage.There was dead bugs in the windows. Screen was missing in the living room window couldn't open windows in 2 of the the 3 rooms because one window wouldn't stay open and the other window there was holes in the screen. The smoke alarms one didn't have a battery the other was hanging off the ceiling. There was mold on the shower curtain in one of the bathrooms.

Absolutely loved the suite! It was very clean and came with anything you could think of for a long stay trip. We had only stayed for one night, but it was an amazing night! The owner Donna was extremely friendly and helpful, the suite was very clean, and any information you might need you can find inside. I would recommend this place 100 times over if you're looking for a cozy place to set up base for a long trip. We'll definitely be back again if we're in the area!

Our family stayed here during MTU move in weekend. It was nice to be able to cook our own meals and avoid the very busy downtown area while still being a short drive to campus. This was a much better deal than any of the hotels. It has a rustic feel and is nothing fancy, but it met our needs for the weekend and my kids enjoyed having their own rooms. We will likely stay again when we come to visit.
