Great Base Camp.

We visited the U.P. for a reunion with old friends. This was a last minute booking, over the 4th of July week......with a dog. The house was extremely roomy, and had all of the essentials. The location provided a easy drive into Hancock / Houghton, as well as other attractions in the area. We would definitely stay again!

Fabulous MTU Graduation weekend

Thank you Tanya and Nate for allowing us to rent your property so we could attend our son’s graduation from MTU. The house was incredibly clean and accurately represented. We appreciated all of the amenities and couldn’t have asked for a nicer place for our family to enjoy the weekend together. I also appreciate how responsive you were. Thank you again.

Family vacation

This home was very cozy and homey. It was inviting and very spacious. It was perfect for home cooked meals and lots of family time! This home was spaced perfectly between all the busy towns for sight seeing around copper harbor and agate beach. Also a quick trip to the keweenaw bay.

Great Snowmobile Trip

We booked here for our annual snowmobile trip to the area and it was great! The owners were very communicative. The drive was plowed for us to fit trucks and trailers. The house was clean and well-kept. We're definitely saving this one for future trips!

graduation

although the house is very old -it had a lot of room. There were a few things that needed repair like the light fixture in the small room that fell off and broke part of our grandson's lego tank! The downstairs bathroom could use a curtain. The place was convenient to MTU and parking was fine. We appreciated the fact that our dog could come along. Thank you!

Great spot for guys snowmobile weekend

Just up the street from the trail. Made a good starting spot to do a tour of the peninsula. Great communication from our host Nathan adding to a seamless trip. Well equipped spacious home with zero issues. Mosquito bar and grill was a great spot for dinner and drinks on the trail or just down the road. Would definitely book again in the future.
