We came up for graduation and have stayed in many VRBO properties and this was my favorite! Location is a huge factor- so beautiful and quiet-and the interior is so cute. Very cozy💜 Thanks Sandy!
The view of Portage Canal was spectacular and the proximity to Michigan Tech and area attractions for hiking and sightseeing were perfect. Great communication with host.
We only stayed for a short visit but wished it were longer so we could have gone to the beach across the road. There was plenty if room for everyone. Great location and fabulous view! We consider it for our next trip.
First, Sandy was a wonderful host. Informative, communicative, and flexible. The house is clean with lots of supplies. Great location,. Great views. Comfortable beds. We will definitely be back.
The property was as advertised and the owners easy to work with. No significant problems. It's close enough to Houghton to have access to anything we needed but up in the woods and a beautiful location.
Quincy's Restaurant is right down the road from the
property, they have one of the best deep dish pizzas we've
ever tasted!
The house is big so bring some people with you!
Go to the Delaware Mine Tour.. it's underground!
Great stay during Graduation weekend! Location was good and had beautiful views. Kitchen had all we needed to cook dinners and living area gave us plenty of room to hang out. Beds were very comfy! Be aware that there are no closets in any of the bedrooms. Good water pressure in the showers. Had an small issue with cleanliness in the kitchen but property manager was quick to respond and apologize. Overall good stay.
This home and location were perfect for our group! There were two couples and three singles (as well as a 6 month old) in our group. Everyone had their own room (the basement had a brand new queen bed)! We cooked most dinners at home and even grilled steaks.The location was ideal, a short few minutes to trail 3. We were close enough to downtown Houghton, where we could grab takeout at The Ambassador.Five star review from check in to check out! If you’re looking for a clean, comfortable and convenient location, this house is it!
The stay was amazing a bit confused and a few things check out time was not listed correctly on theVRBO app however, there was a time listed on the directions on how to use things in the house and appreciate the extra hour. Thank you also was unsure why we were charged the cleaning fee when we had to put things in the washer and get them started doesn’t make sense and the expectation was to clean just should reevaluate that see posted photo.
The Kane family agreed that this house was perfect for our needs. We had three sibling families stay at the house for the four days. The kitchen was great for preparing meals for twelve when my Son showed up with his family of five. One reason I chose this house was because the kitchen/dining room could accommodate fourteen. The reunion was very successful thanks to your house.
This was a great location for getting to the Houghton/Hancock area for bars/restaurants and still seeing the rest of the Keweenaw. There was a great beach around the corner with grills and tables. The house itself was very spacious. The kitchen and dining space were well sized for preparing meals together. Our only complaint is that the house was lacking in basic items such as trash bags, kleenex, enough toilet paper for the week, and hand soap. Otherwise, there were plenty of towels, kitchen items etc. Overall, we had a great week.

An eventful weekend
We stayed for a long weekend, and it ended up being exactly that. Although the communication with owners was decent and the house was nice, a lot happened. We came mainly for the location to ORV trails, and that was truly convenient. We were asked to keep all windows closed for window washers to come, which was understandable. However they never came, and it created a very hot house (no ac) to come back to. Kitchen was big for multiple families, but did not have enough serving bowls & cooking utensils for a large group. Beds are all King size, but they are cheap frames that barely stay together. One morning we woke up to a giant pile of poop on the lower screened porch. We took care of it, but it was blamed on the sons dog or window washer's dog. We also had severe rain while we stayed and we had a flooded floor (through the window) in the upper bedroom facing the lake. Maybe a fluke for all of this to happen in one weekend? You decide, but I prefer to have honest & transparent reviews.
Everything in working order, plenty of space, towels, and a fully equipped kitchen. We had 9 people stay which was the perfect amount as not everyone was coupled up for sleeping space. Close to all the skiing we did and absolutely beautiful winter scenery.
Perfect for our winter carnival stay! Beautiful home, comfortably appointed, with amazing views. Had everything we needed and host communicated promptly with questions. Highly recommend and will definitely return!
