Newly Restored Guest Suite inside Historic Mansion with Scenic Hilltop Views

The Maid's Quarters Suite is a separate living section inside historic Quincy House that includes 2 newly restored rooms (bedroom & living room) & a modern restored en suite bathroom.

Enjoy your peaceful stay in the once humble, privately accessed, maid's section of this 10,000 square foot mansion, lavishly decorated in Victorian era detailing and high style. Enjoy period antiques, wall coverings and oil paintings seamlessly and uniquely paired with all the modern amenities including free high speed WiFi Internet and FREE PREMIUM TV streaming channels like Disney+ & Prime Video.

Your bedroom includes a restored original bed with queen sized coil/gel hybrid mattress with luxury bedding in a jewel-toned French inspired decor. Your en suite 3 piece bathroom includes antique tiling, custom rain shower, Cararra marble sink, luxury towels and toiletries. Your suite's attached living room has a twin bed, cozy seating, a 50" smart TV with free streaming channels including Disney+, Hulu, Prime Video, Showtime & more, a small refrigerator, microwave, coffee station, walk in closet and roll-away bed available at no charge. Enjoy the views atop Quincy Hill from this 143+ year old landmark. The Maid's Quarters Suite includes ceiling fans in both the bedroom and living room, is on the 2nd floor, no elevator and 500 sq. ft. Our private driveway is large with plenty of free parking and turn around space for trucks with trailers.

**For those sensitive to pets: we have a couple resident cats who patrol this old house and its many nooks and crannies so please be aware if you are prone to allergy. They are kept out of the Maid's Quarters at all times and are very cleanly maintained.

Quincy House, completed in 1882 is an Italianate Victorian mansion built by Quincy Mining Company to prominently house its highest ranking area official, the Mine Agent. It is the last standing mining company agent's house among the many mines that once exploited the area for copper. Built more lavishly than other mine company structures, it served as a social center during the copper mine boom. Quincy House is currently undergoing restoration and preservation. You're staying in the private, newly restored rear section of the house. We reside in the separate but connected front section that is under restoration. Both sections are closed off from each other and you will not be disturbed by construction during your stay. Your privacy and comfort is our utmost concern. We are happy to give guests tours and talk about the history upon request.

Quincy House has, is and will be undergoing restoration and preservation for years to come. In no way will this negatively effect your stay. In fact you will be able to witness how we are transforming and restoring this famous 143+ year old Victorian Mansion back into the monarch of Quincy Hill it once was.

In addition, your stay will benefit the house as all proceeds we receive from your visit are put directly into the Quincy House Preservation Foundation, a 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization formed and operated by us to restore and sustain the house now and for the future as a valuable historic educational interpretation of Copper Country history.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a patio and space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a microwave, a refrigerator, and a coffee maker. Housekeeping is available on request.

The Quincy Agent House was convenient to everything we wanted to see in the Upper Peninsula. Our two room suite was beautifully restored by David and Zack who have taken great care and expended much effort in preparing it. The room had everything we needed during our four night stay and we would happily stay there again given the opportunity.

Staying in the maid's quarters was the highlight of our Western Upper Peninsula vacation. Our rooms were very comfortable, beautifully furnished with luxury bedding, and the snacks, beverages and breakfast items were perfect. We were very impressed with the improvements that David and Zach have made to the house, and we are already talking about a 2026 return trip so we can see what they accomplish next. This grand home has great potential; it's obviously being cherished and appreciated as Zach and David bring it back to a place of magnificence throughout the home.

What an amazing find to stay at the Quincy House for one night. We stayed in what was formally known as the maids quarters of this historical home. There was a lot of attention to detail for travelers including fresh cut flowers. There was a small refrigerator with waters, keuring for hot beverages, along with breakfast bars & oatmeal for a quick breakfast or snack. The hosts even had thimbleberry jam for sale. We will keep this on our list for return travel. The owner is very friendly and shared with us some history of this home.

All the little things

Beautiful gorgeous stunning building. I love lore and the hosts offer it all up. The character of this building is nice to get to know, we left grateful that it’s getting another life. I am excited to see the host’s vision for renovation come together as the work done so far is well done. I’ll definitely be back. We only got to stay one night as we were catching the ferry to the isle. That said, our stay was comfortable, we felt safe, there’s a cat (we’re cat people), and there was thimbleberry jam for sale (we’re also thimbleberry jam people). All the little touches, the carving wires with every hook up I could think, the outlet in the bathroom was the perfect amount of nightlight, the shower mat was so cushy, snacks, coffee, fridge, reading materials, comfortable porch. Truly a labor of love.

The suite we stayed in at this amazing house was beautiful! Inside our suite was an entry way, living room and bedroom with private bathroom. David and Zach thought of everything to keep their guests comfortable and pampered, right down to providing a few choices for a quick breakfast before we left! We would love to go back in a year or so and check out the progress they've made in the restoration.

Highest praise on all accounts. Booking and check in couldn’t have been easier. The rooms were just as described, actually even better. Location overlooking the town is perfect, literally only a stone’s throw from the Quincy mine tour which is a must see… but that’s another review. The hosts, David and Zac, couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. In summary, you should stay here soon because when they finish all of the restoration, you won’t be able to afford to stay here. It’s that good.

This historic home is beautiful, super clean, and has tons of character. Though you stay in the same building as the owners of the home, they are incredibly respectful of your privacy. History nerds will enjoy the wealth of info David & Zach offer, if requested. I grew up in the area and will defintely be back to stay - highly recommend!

Can’t say enough good things about this place! It looked even better in person and the mission of the owners to redo this old building are admirable. Coffee center had everything needed including drinks in the refrigerator and snacks. Beds were super comfortable and bathroom had all the amenities. If it those who appreciate the past but can’t give up present day amenities, this is your place.

The renovated maid’s quarters in the historic Quincy House was the perfect space for my week-long visit to the Copper Country. Safe, clean, well appointed, and a great location for all that the Keweenaw offers. Plenty of history, hiking trails, views, and delicious food nearby!

Historic Quincy House

The hosts of this charming Victorian suite left no detail unturned – the pictures represent it well, but it’s not until you step in that you notice the little things from the chandeliers to the texture of the wallpaper. Further to that, fresh flowers were put in the room on our first day and we had the softest bedding and towels, toiletries, along with water, coffee, juice and other snacks. It was an overall wonderful experience. If this suite is any indication of the details they will put into the rest of the home as they restore it, I will make sure to choose Quincy House when I visit again, so I am able to watch the mansion come back to life.Thank you so much, David and Zach! You are both brilliant!

These renovated historic rooms are beautiful. Excellent craftsmanship in the style of an historic period, but with modern amenities (like phone charging stations by the bed). Really tastefully and thoughtfully done. And the hosts are terrific: kind, helpful, but not intrusive. Highly recommend!
