The house was close enough to Houghton (8 minutes to downtown) for all the great restaurants and shops, but far enough away where you are surrounded by woods and secluded. Perfect location to get away and enjoy nature.
Bruce and Sarah have a lovely home, it felt like our own! The place is very clean and the beds are comfortable. The kitchen was stocked well (minus our own groceries) and there were plenty of towels too for our group of 14. WiFi was fast and check in was a breeze. Thank you - Would love to stay here again!!!
Our whole family of 16, ages 1 through 70, enjoyed staying at this unique log cabin. So many fun spaces in the house to play and talk. Close to town so grocery shopping was quick and easy. So many fun places to go. We just enjoyed every day of the week and the host was so prompt when we had questions.
It's a great place to stay especially for a group. We took turns cooking our evening meal and the kitchen amenities and size made it very convenient. I could even say amazing. Having two indoor gathering areas - upstairs and downstairs as well as the dining room table really worked out nicely. Great outdoors also. And, again multiple gathering areas. Most of our group was in our 70's but I could see there would be plenty of things to entertain young children as well as young adults.
Our group had a great stay. Our only complaint was that in mid August, the house got pretty warm on the days that the weather was hot. Overall we were very comfortable and our group loved the sauna!
My dad went to Tech and his soon-to-be college age grandkids wanted to tour the university.
The house had a basketball court, a sauna, and a perfect set up for playing cards and game. It was stocked with every last thing that we needed.
Thank you to Bruce and Sarah. They were the perfect hosts! All 13 of us loved it!
Super nice and clean cabin!
We’ve book this cabin to celebrate New Year with family. We were hoping to rent snowmobiles and go to ski to Mt Ripley , but unfortunately there wasn’t snow, and even though we had a great time in that place.
The cabin was big enough for 14 people, it was clean, stuffed with all necessary equipment and spices and coffee and tea, even shampoo and conditioner:) Also there was so many games for kids. Sauna was a great bonus. The property was in the wood , so we went with kids for hiking.
Checking and checkout process was super easy. I highly recommend this cabin and host. We really enjoyed our stay there and hope to come back again for snowmobiling:)
