We enjoyed how close the house was to Tech. It was easy to get down to the road along the portage for an early morning run. The house had everything we needed and was very newly updated and clean. Host was easy to contact. I'd stay here again if I was staying more than one night.

40th Birthday Trip

My husband turned 40 this year and decided it was time to take the UP trip he’s been dreaming of. We decided to try a VRBO instead of a hotel as we wanted something homie feeling for the last couple days of our trip. This place was perfection. Enough space for us to spread out but still enjoy time together. Close to tons of different shops and restaurants to explore and in driving distance of Copper Harbor! We loved every minute of our stay and are already trying to figure out when we will return. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

About the host

Host profile image

Why they chose this property

This neighborhood is peaceful and tucked away, yet minutes from everything. The wooded area behind the house gives it a secluded, country-like feel and it's not uncommon to spot deer, Eagle, fox, and rabbits right in the backyard.

What makes this property unique

The location is what truly makes this property unique. Nestled in a historic area near the old Arcadian Mine, the home is believed to date back to the mining era. The terraced backyard offers a beautiful and functional landscape, shaded by mature black walnut trees that give the space a serene, almost timeless feel. It’s a one-of-a-kind setting that blends natural beauty with historic charm.
