Fantastic Stay in Bruce Crossing
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at the Penny house! The Host was very responsive and the house was super clean and well stocked. The grill out in the backyard and the seating by the fire pit was great! It was also really nice to have access to the garage. The location is perfect for whatever activity you choose. We will DEFINITELY be coming back!

We came home to the UP to visit family and show off our first grand baby. Penny house was centrally located between family members so we hosted a bbq for everyone to meet her. Great place to stay, walking distance to restaurants and store.

The property was easy to locate, check in was easy, and the house was so clean! Enough space for all of us and our things. Only AC units were downstairs but it cools down at night upstairs with the fans and windows.

Family snowmobile trip
The house was clean warm and comfortable. Nice bedding and plush towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. The front and back porch area were nice to hang and store gear. There are 2 driveways that were well plowed out with room to easily park a truck and 30 ft trailer, a truck and 10 ft trailer and 7 snowmobiles. It snowed everyday and each day a tractor and loader came and removed the pile of snow left by the snowplow at the end of the driveway which was really great. Very close to trails, gas and groceries. Sandy was quick to respond to questions we had. Sandy set up and extra roll away bed for us and our family of 7 was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Penny House for your stay.

Ski and Snowboarding Porkies
We enjoyed our stay and the home was very clean, comfy and cozy! This was our second time staying here and love the central location between Snow River, Powderhorn, and Porkies. Also having the grocery store just around the corner makes it very convenient for those couple of food items we forgot to pack. We will be back again!

Very clean house. Accurately described. Being able to use the garage to park the snowmobiles was helpful. Someone plowed the driveways in a timely manor. Only down fall was the busy road and backing in the snowmobile trailer.
