Very simple but had everything we needed. One thing to note: the bathroom is small with a small shower (just want to warn anyone very tall or otherwise large). It was nice to be able to have more space than a hotel room for our stay, to be able to cook some meals for ourselves and to have a place close by to come back to for our toddler's naps. ##### Urszula L.

We could walk to the ski trails and had easy access to US-41 and downtown. The cabin was clean and very well cared for, had window A/C in the upstairs room, and had plenty of room for two. The neighborhood is full of trees and was quiet without being isolated. We would certainly stay again if we come back to Houghton. ##### Carl M.

We also downhill skied at Mt Ripley and skied and fat tire biked in Calumet. The house has a ski bench in the garage and you can store bikes there as well. Kitchen is well supplied and we made all our dinners at the house. We really enjoyed our stay. also, as a Lake Superior sailor I enjoyed the nautical charts on the walls! ##### David L.

The location was perfect for our vacation in the UP! We loved the history of the house and the setting in the quiet neighborhood of Houghton. We didn't realize the sole bathroom was downstairs and the sole bedroom upstairs. We re-read the VRBO description and looked again at the pictures and feel that fact wasn't at all clear. Also, there wasn't any soap for the shower, and we were only furnished with one handtowel and two washcloths for our entire six-day stay. ##### Debra W. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2023 Verified ### 8/10 Good #### Kim B. 23 Oct 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Quaint and close to Tech trails It was a nice place but we only slept there . We were visiting our son and had friends staying elsewhere and that is where we spent the majority of our time. There is only one bathroom and it is located on the lower level as far away from the upstairs bedroom as you can get. It was not an issue for us, but I can see how it would be for anyone who uses the bathroom at night. The back yard is inviting if you have accommodating weather and the trails are outside your back door. Very convenient. There was only one hand towel for the bathroom. I suggest having the same number as wash cloths and bath towels. It was nice to have coffee and breakfast/energy bars. We did use those. Thank you. I would say based on VRBOs we have stayed at previously in the area, this one may be a bit overpriced. ##### Kim B.

Fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, glass storage, ice cube trays, coffee, coffee filters, spices). Every detail has been well thought out. There are even extra toiletries in case you forgot something! The location is amazing! Walking distance to MTU and trails. There is never enough time to experience all the beauty and adventures of the area. We will be back! ##### Melissa R. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Christopher T. 7 Aug 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great base for adventures in the Copper Country We thoroughly enjoyed our five nights here!The house is the ideal base for adventures in the Copper Country: a big open upstairs with two comfortable beds and plenty of room, a comfortable living room, a nicely equipped kitchen, and a wonderful patio with a great gas grill. The bathroom is about as good as can be in an older house like this – small but functional.We were pleasantly surprised at how well supplied the kitchen was: all the necessities, but also coffee, ingredients for s’mores, and more. A great touch!Check-in was easy – a message from the owners with the lockbox code, and a key on the lockbox. The owners had prepared a very nice guide to the house and the area. The street was nice and quiet, but the location is just a few minutes’ drive (or a lovely half-hour walk) to downtown Houghton. ##### Christopher T. Stayed 5 nights in Aug 2025 ---
