About this property
Gateway to Outdoor Adventure in the Keweenaw! - Dog Friendly & MTU 2.3 miles!
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.

About the host
Hosted by Frederick Jaehnig
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!
