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 heated 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.

Perfect location
We loved the Quincy House and appreciated how welcome we felt. The hosts are in the process of remodeling this old mansion and it was so interesting to hear the history. of the house and the vision they have to restore it. It was close to MTU and a great home base for all things in the Keweenaw.
The room was as described, clean, accessible with a good location to everything. Close to town and the owners were welcoming and responsive.

Maid’s Quarters
This rental was well described in the listing and pictures, but I was still surprised. It was way better in person! The place was clean, check in was easy, and I had everything I needed. I can’t wait to rent again!

Charming
The owners have a vision of what they want this lovely estate to entail. The maid's quarter, is the first to open in their vision. It is cozy and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The town is loaded with history, has many restaurants to choose from and lots of things to do from hiking to touring the Quincy Mine to a beautiful drive up to Cooper Harbor and Eagle Harbor. The owners are welcoming and leave you wanting to come back to watch their progress on the Quincy House. Definitely a Diamond in the Rough.

Truly a Hidden Gem!
At first glance the house might be something you’d pass by but upon driving up on the property, and stepping inside you’ll find this stay has more than what just meets the eye.
Our stay was absolutely amazing! The room has been impeccably renovated and has everything you’d need for your stay, walking in and feeling so welcomed by not only the hosts but the room itself was a blessing after our long drive. The attention to detail in the room and the hospitality was so refreshing, and honestly a million times better than staying at a hotel.
Our hosts responded very fast if we needed absolutely anything, showed us around the grounds, and were again more than welcoming
I promise if you stay with these hosts and their amazing stay… you’ll never want to stay in a hotel again.
Will be booking again!
