Well stocked, roomy, wonderfully decorated, good parking, nice fans and sound machines. We really enjoyed time as a family, places to play card games together ant to watch the game together, to cook together and to be able to take some time apart.

We really enjoyed our stay here!!! The property was exactly as described and as the pics showed and we used every bit of it!!! All 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, the washer and dryer, dishwasher and every kitchen appliance, utensil, and dish!!! I was able to cook a full thanksgiving dinner without a hitch…The hosts were very responsive to the questions that I had and even checked in to see if all was going well. We would definitely stay here again.

Had a great weekend stay here after picking up our son from MTU camp. The location was great for exploring the town and the Keweenaw peninsula. The house had everything we needed, a very well stocked kitchen, it was really clean and comfortable for the adults and the kids. The road noise in the front bedroom was manageable with fans. Excellent communication experience with the owner.

This was one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in. It was spotless! The rooms are huge and the kitchen is amazing! There was so much room and the bonus of 3 bathrooms was priceless for a family of 5 with 3 teens. I could not say enough good things about this house.

My colleagues were very impressed with the cleanliness and renovations of this property. Our company was staying at this rental for the 2024 MTU Spring Career fair, and it was a wonderful choice! There was a lot of attention to detail in how it was designed and decorated, everything is new and fresh! The location is perfect when it comes to accessing all you need in town, which was definitely utilized! The parking was great for what was needed, which was a Ram 2500 diesel truck. There aren't many improvements to suggest, however, one would be the baseboard heat was noisy, especially in the middle of the night. They only other downside was the one room is right next to a busy road (8-10 feet), which was loud on it's own. If a sound machine was used that could have help drown out the traffic sound. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would be happy to come back and stay there again! We will recommend it to others!

We were moving our son into Michigan Tech and brought grandma along. This place was perfect for us. Our son could just pop back and forth from campus as needed. Everything is on one level, no stairs even at entry. This was great for grandma and anyone with mobility issues. Showers are walk-in and there are 3 full bathrooms which made it very convenient. Location is great! We walked to Millie’s…drove to Roy’s but you could walk across the bridge. Just down the hill is Porvoo park with a fantastic view of the Lift Bridge. This place is newly finished and very clean and modern. We will be staying again.

We enjoyed this location a lot. Convenient to everything. Beds are probably the most comfortable VRBO ones we’ve stayed in. Only draw back is noise level (it’s on a busy street) but owner provided white noise machines. If you need total quiet, not for you but we all slept very well. Clean, well appointed and everything worked. We liked the local restaurants too (Forge brisket place was excellent, as was La Cantina which is in walking distance). Showers were quite nice (tiled and large). Pat’s grocery was excellent too. We did nerdy sightseeing (alike the Dredge) and some nice hiking (lots of waterfalls). Great weekend.

My husband and I stayed here while visiting our son at MTU. Our original plan was for 6 of us to stay and it was definitely roomy enough for 6 to stay comfortably. The owners did a fantastic job of repurposing a commercial building into a spacious, yet cozy, home away from home. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and close to everything Hancock/Houghton. This place is just as wonderful as it looks in the pictures. What you can't see in the pics is how well-stocked the kitchen is with pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. We had everything we needed and more. My favorite feature was the peek-a-boo view of the canal. It was lovely, especially with the autumn colors and the clear skies at night. Overall, a great place to stay! We're looking forward to coming back.

Overall we enjoyed this rental - it is very modern and spacious. We had 5 adults and our dog here for four nights. We made and ate most of our meals here since one of us has to be extremely careful to eat only gluten free foods and it was well equipped to prepare, cook and eat in. I recommend this to others.

Very spacious!! Loved all the room for our family to enjoy during parents/family weekend at MTU. Our freshman was able to stay with us in his own room and bathroom. The kitchen is very well stocked with anything you’d need to cook. Took a short walk down to the waterway which was very nice. Only negatives would be that the house is located right on a main road so you hear loud trucks go by frequently. Also there was a very strong marijuana smell the whole time we were there. I thought maybe the cleaning crew was vaping but it never went away. Other than that it was wonderful.

We all had our own room and a separate bathroom for each couple. The host is very responsive. Only negative is street noise. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Having the AC fan running in the room helped tremendously. We would definitely return!

Great property, as expected from the description, pictures, and previous renters reviews. There is a lot of road noise and snowmobile action constantly but we knew what we were getting into with that. I don’t think you could stay any where in town and get away from that. We were visiting MTU’s campus, property is very close. Property owners were excellent with communication and promptly responded to messages. Enjoyed our stay and would stay again.

This was our 2nd time staying here. Clean, roomy. Love the 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Walking distance to many great places in Hancock for dinner, drinks, breakfast and bakery items as well as shops. This was convenient for moving our son out of MTU. Also a very comfortable place for my husband and I to work remotely. We brought our dog and walked just down the road to Porvoo Park most mornings. Trails nearby that span for miles. Also, a dog park just a couple of miles away. Just a perfect stay!

The home was very well appointed. It is a very short walk to a park and a bike/hiking trail. The place is air conditioned throughout. It is an unusual building, but the inside is very pleasant and comfortable.

Had a great weekend stay here after picking up our son from MTU camp. The location was great for exploring the town and the Keweenaw peninsula. The house had everything we needed, a very well stocked kitchen, it was really clean and comfortable for the adults and the kids. The road noise in the front bedroom was manageable with fans. Excellent communication experience with the owner.

We were moving our son into Michigan Tech and brought grandma along. This place was perfect for us. Our son could just pop back and forth from campus as needed. Everything is on one level, no stairs even at entry. This was great for grandma and anyone with mobility issues. Showers are walk-in and there are 3 full bathrooms which made it very convenient. Location is great! We walked to Millie’s…drove to Roy’s but you could walk across the bridge. Just down the hill is Porvoo park with a fantastic view of the Lift Bridge. This place is newly finished and very clean and modern. We will be staying again.

The property was clean, as the photos depict. It's in the heart of downtown, so very close to the university, dining, etc. However, convenience comes at the expense of heavy truck and snowmobile noise.

Great house and location! The home is beautifully renovated and walking distance to attractions. My husband and I stayed with two other couples. We all had our own room and a separate bathroom for each couple. The host is very responsive. Only negative is street noise. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Having the AC fan running in the room helped tremendously. We would definitely return!

Loved our stay at this property! It had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. I made Easter dinner for 12 while there. Not knowing, I brought a lot of pans and utensils. I wouldn’t have needed any of them! This is an extremely well equipped kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

The host was outstanding! We had a minor issue with getting the WiFi to work, but our host was outstanding communicating with us and even came out to fix it in a timely manner. As far as snowmobiling, it’s 1 block to the trail and 2 gas stations with very easy access.
