Great place to stay near Houghton

The apartment was very clean, beds were comfortable and plenty of towels. We had a few questions and the host was very responsive and even stopped by to help us with the TV. Plenty of parking if you come with a trailer. We stayed for MTu graduation and it was very convenient. Definitely would recommend.

Enjoyed our stay

Went to son’s MTU graduation. Very much enjoyed our stay! Had originally planned to stay at local motel but this had so much more room for similar price. Like other reviews, outside of building was questionable, but inside was spacious, clean and comfortable. Would definitely book again.

Easy to find if you follow the directions and listing accurately describes what you’re getting. Windows open and ceiling fans on for nice comfortable check in day , recommend “official “ window opening stops and new toilet.

Great space!

Clean and spacious. Worked great for us. The $1,500 deposit seemed a bit extreme (although it was during Winter Carnival) and was refunded after I inquired. Loved the original woodwork, doors, etc. And the large historical print in the downstairs entryway (with the building highlighted) was very cool!

Once I found it

It was great! The little dirt road path is hard to find in the dark and the property isn’t marked on the outside so it’s hard to know if it’s the right place until you walk in. But it was clean and spacious and definitely a great choice

Quick Visit

Had a quick visit. Property is in great location and is a good size for multiple guests. It is in a very old building with uneven floors, but has a lot of character. Our kids chose not to stay with us because they were creeped out. It’s not the cleanest place we’ve stayed in, either. Linens were fine, but there were a lot of flies everywhere. Flies on countertops, floors, windows, etc. Some alive, some dead. I recommend owner put at light or reflectors at end of drive, as it’s difficult to see as well.

Great value and close to MTU

Don’t let the outside of this house deter you!!! The outside looks very old and really not all that appealing, but the inside is just as described!!! Very clean and updated with plenty of space for our large family. Beds were comfy. Kitchen was well stocked with dinnerware/pots/pans. There is no dishwasher, which was a bit of a bummer, but overall not a big deal. My only suggestion would be to upgrade bedding to something a little nicer and have extra blankets somewhere in the house (we couldn’t find any). Communication was terrific. The price, especially for MTU family weekend, was perfect! We would definitely stay here again!!!
