About this property

Explore the Keweenaw ! Only 6 Miles to MTU!

The Mill duplex is located just minutes from Michigan Tech in the quaint town of Chassell MI. Apartment A is the perfect destination for business travelers or for couples looking to explore the Keweenaw Peninsula. When you stay at the The Mill, you will enjoy the private bedroom, an efficient yet well equipped kitchen, and a private patio area. Prepare for a relaxing and comfortable stay that won’t break the bank!

In 2025, a portion of all bookings will donated to local youth baseball.

The Mill is our most affordable property and it is perfect for business travelers and couples. The property consists of two 1 bedroom duplexes and is a quick and easy commute to Michigan Tech. The Mill apartments are extremely quaint and they provide enormous value and convenience!

Guests are provided access to the entire apartment and private back patio.

I may or may not be available during your stay, but we have a property manager that lives in the area, and is available.

The Keweenaw Peninsula is a four season destination, and is exciting for everyone because there is always something to do! You can enjoy our pristine fresh water beaches in the summer because we are salt free! Seek adventure on the world’s best snowmobile trails because we get up to 25 feet of snow each winter! If you are looking for a quiet vacation then visit this spring to hunt morel mushrooms! If fall is more your speed, then come for the great weather and breathtaking colors. After all, it doesn’t matter what time of the year you arrive, we always have something wonderful to experience!

If you are looking to steep yourself in rich culture, then the Copper Country is the place to visit! We have roughly 68 museums, attractions and ghost towns to explore! Come catch a play at Michigan Tech’s Rozsa Center, or visit the historic Calumet Theater to step back in time! Visit the birthplace of professional hockey. Watch your Michigan Tech Huskies battle the nation’s top collegiate hockey teams at the John McGinnis Ice Center!

The Mill is located directly off of US41 and provides easy access to Michigan Tech, Houghton and the Keweenaw. The Mill has 1 dedicated parking spot per apartment and additional parking can be provided upon request.

The town of Chassell is genuinely quiet and quaint, but the property is located along US41. Most of the traffic dies down after dark, but some road noise may still be heard. If you are looking to visit your Tech student, you will not find a better and more economical place to stay! If you are looking for eco-tourism, Chassell has many things to offer from a kayak launch, and a skating rink, to ski/snowshoe trails, a boat launch, swimming beach and amazing fishing all year round!

Chassell is also an excellent destination for guests traveling with dogs. With host approval, you may bring up to two dogs under 40 pounds. Please note a non-refundable pet fee applies, and all pets should be disclosed at the time of booking. After your reservation is confirmed or upon request, we will provide you with our detailed pet rules to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone.

We know our healthcare workers spend long hours taking care of others. As a result, we offer weekly turndown services that provides fresh linens and a light cleaning to all bookings over 2 weeks.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

About the host

Hosted by Frederick Jaehnig

Host profile image
Maria and I each served in the Air & Space Forces for over 20 years and we started Copper County Vacation Rentals with the main goal of providing our guests with clean, comfortable and relaxing adventures. As we return to the Keweenaw full-time we will continue to provide amazing lodging, but we will also look to enhance our experience packages.

Due to our military background we believe in 100% transparency and renting a home from a stranger can be intimidating. We are absolutely certain you will love staying with us and we encourage you to check out our numerous reviews online to make sure that is the case!
