This was a nice comfortable stay for a late season snowmobile trip. Five bedrooms are perfect for a group of individuals like we had. We enjoyed the nice big TV and comfortable seating in the living room. Trail access is just a few blocks away. Communication was excellent!

Good place for some guys on a snowmobile trip, and we had lots of snow so good sledding. Nice big TV for watching football and whatever. Only ideas for improvement would be to include a picture of exterior of house for reference, and parking with trailers was tough because it snowed so much.

Great stay

The property was as described and we really enjoyed being there! Had everything we needed to make meals, close to MTU/Houghton. The owners were very responsive and I really appreciated being able to bring our dogs so my son could visit with them while he stayed with us. Would definitely stay here again! Thanks!!

Great Base Camp.

We visited the U.P. for a reunion with old friends. This was a last minute booking, over the 4th of July week......with a dog. The house was extremely roomy, and had all of the essentials. The location provided a easy drive into Hancock / Houghton, as well as other attractions in the area. We would definitely stay again!

We booked here for our annual snowmobile trip to the area and it was great! The owners were very communicative. The drive was plowed for us to fit trucks and trailers. The house was clean and well-kept. We're definitely saving this one for future trips!

MT Bohemia Ski Trip

Nate and Tanya were super communicative hosts and everything was clean and in order when we got there. We were skiing and the first floor had lots of space which was really good for us. The kitchen was stocked with good utensils and pans for cooking which we loved. Overall it was a great stay and we’d love to come again!
