The Miner is beautifully remodeled, and centrally located in historic Hancock MI. The the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail #17 is located directly across the street, offering easy access to hundreds of miles of groomed trails taking you across Michigan's Upper Peninsula. We provide easy access to Houghton (1.6 miles), Michigan Tech (2.3 miles), Finlandia University (.3 miles), and historic Calumet is only 13.8 miles away. Please note that we are located along Lincoln St (US41) and the snowmobile trail. I would hate to lose your business because of it, but I would rather make sure you are happy with your stay. If you are a very light sleeper, other accommodations might be better suited for your needs. If want to be in the middle of everything, I have no doubt that you will love it! A portion of all bookings goes to support local youth ice hockey programs. ## Property amenities ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Ski lift privileges - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1 bathroom - Hair dryer - Shampoo - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Patio ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total (up to 50 lbs per pet) ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed - Note from host: $250 extra cleaning fee for smoking on property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near a hospital - Near the bay - Near the marina ### Things to do - Ski lift privileges - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Ecotours nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Mountain biking nearby - Sailing nearby - Sledding nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Unit size: 1,000 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90020000/90010500/90010423/0399d9ed.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Keweenaw Waters Resort Houghton - Kitchen - Washer - Pet-friendly - Parking included 9.6 Exceptional 85 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=90010423&PinnedHotelID=90010423&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Interior](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112840000/112835600/112835520/5e6a57d5.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Northern Bungalow with Fireplace Houghton - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Pet-friendly 9.8 Exceptional 10 reviews CA $166 CA $261 total includes taxes & fees Dec 10 - Dec 11 [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-10&endDate=2025-12-11&selected=112835520&PinnedHotelID=112835520&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105470000/105465100/105465095/a3bd0fdd.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Adventure House: Fully Stocked Kitchen 5 mins from Michigan Tech Hancock - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer - Free WiFi 9.6 Exceptional 20 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2025-12-11&endDate=2025-12-12&selected=105465095&PinnedHotelID=105465095&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Fridge, microwave, oven, stovetop](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/91000000/90340000/90330500/90330459/4d65ebe3.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Up North Luxury w/Unmatched Charm! 2 miles to MTU!
