Cute, cozy, and clean!

This place is a gem! Perfect convenient location for an MTU parent, or a great spot to venture around the area. We will definitely stay here again.

MTU visit

Stayed here for our recent MTU visit. Super clean and warm for our January trip. Onsite parking is easy. Great location, nice restaurant across the street and close to downtown Hancock. The Miner’s decor was super cool with the local copper mining history. Will stay again.

Houghton-Hancock Repeat Customer

We continue to graduate our progeny from nearby MTU, and The Miner has become a favorite place to stay to help celebrate the accomplishment.Always clean, easy to get to, effortless to stay. Everything we can hope for in an area with limited hotel/motel rooms. This time both grandmas traveled with us and they appreciated the one story layout, easy egress and mining-themed decorations!

Great little place to stay that comes with everything you could imagine. The accommodation was super clean and cozy. Superb location in Hancock and not too far from MTU. Theres a great restaurant across the street and you get a great view of the snowmobile trails!

Great Holiday Stay

We stayed with our family, including a baby over Christmas. The place was just as expected. It was clean, had a nice pack and play and was spacious. We really enjoyed our stay and the home had everything we needed and expected. It was an easy and comfortable stay:)

Wonderful place!

We didn’t spend much time at the cabin but had everything we needed and more. The beds were comfy and all the decor is so cute. We loved it and would rent again. The road is a little noise starting at and 5:30am.

Visiting our daughter, who is in her first year at Michigan Tech

Property is close to everything and was convenient If I had one recommendation, it would be to include additional seating for a lounging.

Fantastic in town landing pad for attending weekend events at MTU

Wonderful property that is well stocked with many amenities. Check in was a breeze. The place was immaculately clean! Great open living and kitchen area. Would be great for couples or a family. No problems at all during the stay. Host was just a phone call away to help with anything needed.

Nice Place Along the snowmobile trail

Great place for a snowmobile trip, my only caution would be trailer size. My small clamshell trailer fit in the driveway, a bigger trailer would not have fit.

Central location and pet friendly

Clean unit that is nicely equipped and centrally located. As mentioned in listing the front bedroom is very noisy from traffic. Ear plug’s recommended.

Great Spot!

Great spot to stay. Restaurant right across the road. As they say in the listing it can be a little noisy but usually pretty quiet after 10/11pm…. Blackout shades would be nice, especially in the front bedroom, but overall great place to stay and we will stay again next time we are in the area. We have stayed all over the UP, this place is in the top 5 for sure, nicely decorated, good amenities, good proximity for the town, comfortable beds, overall great place for the price range!

Well equipped stay, great property

We had a great trip to Hancock and look forward to visiting the area again. The Miner is a great property, best equipped VRBO or AirBB I’ve stayed at ! The only thing that didn’t work well for us was the noise. We are early to bed and early to rise. The property is on a very busy street and the trail was more active with snowmobiles than we expected. The property is awesome but if you’re looking for a quiet spot this isn’t for you.

Perfect!

Came up for the weekend to snowmobile. Property is literally across the street from the trail system. House is super clean. Has everything you need. Very well renovated! I pulled my snowmobile trailer and a friend brought up her vehicle. I can’t say what it would be like with more snow since the snow was lacking up there to start off sled season but we had no problems with parking for my SUV, 14ft trailer and her Jeep. Overall I would absolutely stay again! This is a gem inside and the outside is within walking distance to a couple of restaurants.

Miner to Portage

We were originally supposed to stay at the Miner with this owner but they called us as we were on our way from Wisconsin to ask if we’d be willing to go to a different property for the same price. Portage Center is a beautiful place and my family really enjoyed our short stay. The owner was so accommodating and when I communicated with them the day before our trip asking for a late checkout, they were not able to provide that but offered us a refund so we would be able to find a place that would work better for us. We don’t need to do that as plans had changed and we wouldn’t have one of our family members and our pet with us anymore. After letting the owner know that they refunded our pet deposit. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful updated rental in a busy place right on the road - so if you’re looking for no traffic going by this won’t be the place for you. There is a view of the water from the open concept living space and there is so much open space. The house was decorated in MTU hockey which was so fitting that we were doing preview day at MTU it our daughter
