We had a wonderful stay at the Guest House. It was so well stocked there was nothing we wished we had that wasn't there. Communication with Irina couldn't have been easier. Comfy beds, and furniture which is important to us. We are very hopeful that we might stay again in the future.

Great stay and within close proximity to just about everywhere we needed to go. The hosts were very helpful and kind when I had questions. Loved being able to sit outside and have coffee and walk in the evening as it’s a quiet street for the most part. Perfect size for our family and having a laundry was a huge help. Will definitely stay again when we visit.

Thank you, Tim, for your review. We are very happy you liked the guest house location. Local people call it a premium location:) It is a 5-7 minute ride from downtown, groceries stores, and the MTU campus and trails. Plus, it is private with a good distance from other houses. What could be better?

Thank you for your review, Linda. I am happy you mentioned the location. We have had people staying at the guest house for different reasons. Some traveled to visit their children at MTU. Some came to UP for the recreational purpose. The university, MTU trails, and grocery stores are just minutes away. It was a pleasure hosting you. We hope to see you back:).

This was our second stay at this property, and it was every bit as wonderful as the first. We stay at quite a few nice VRBO properties throughout the year, and this one easily wins the award for the cleanest!The home is extremely comfortable and welcoming. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you could possibly need, the beds are all very comfortable, and we especially enjoyed relaxing on the patio each evening.The location is also great, just minutes from Michigan Tech and downtown Houghton, making it incredibly convenient for us.With our son attending MTU, we expect to make plenty of trips to Houghton over the next few years, and this will absolutely be our first choice every time we visit. It truly feels like our home away from home in Houghton. Highly recommended!

A bit of a challenge to find the first time, especially in the dark. Read the instructions carefully, then read them again. House is very clean with all amenities you will need for 3-4 people for your visit to the Keweenaw. Close to Houghton, golf course, and MTU. Good communication. thanks!

About the host

Hosted by Irina Sergeyeva

Host profile image
I have a very social personality and love learning about diverse cultures. We travel yearly for work or pleasure, gaining firsthand experience of what people need when away from home. Thus, our guest house is people-oriented, not business-oriented. We are delighted to host you with an open heart and accommodate your needs, whether you're traveling through the UP or visiting your child at MTU.

Why they chose this property

The area surrounding our guest house offers numerous opportunities to stay active. The MTU trails are well-developed to accommodate all levels of skiing and biking enthusiasts. The nearby Waterfront Trail, with its scenic views, leads directly to downtown Houghton. For nature lovers, the Nara Nature Trail Boardwalk provides an excellent spot to observe birds and other wildlife. Additionally, the Portage Lake Golf Course is conveniently within walking distance from the house.






What makes this property unique

The house is new and equipped with top-of-the-line appliances and a private one-car garage. It is designed with a personal approach in mind for guests' comfort. It is well-insulated to stay warm in winter and cool in summer. The well water is healthy, crystal clear, and refreshingly cold. In-floor heating with multiple zones extends throughout the house, including the garage.
Located in a quiet and safe neighborhood, the house is just 5 minutes from MTU and downtown. Fast fiber optic internet is available, making it convenient for guests who need to work remotely.
