Our experience at the home was wonderful! The house was exactly as advertised - the kitchen had all the tools we needed to make a number of meals, the sleeping accommodations were very comfortable and the house was very clean. The location was extremely convenient for us as it was just a few minute drive to Houghton and the MTU campus where we were attending our son’s graduation. Communication with the host was seamless and they quickly responded to any questions we had. Without a doubt we would book again at the house on our next trip up!

Wonderful deck for enjoying the view. The grill was great for grilling steaks. Enjoyed the paddle board and paddling Portage Lake. Clean and cozy home. Convenient location for visiting students at MTU.

Idyllic and peaceful. A bit difficult to find, because trees obscured the garage landmarkOnly problem was a glitch with the access keypad. Once we connected with our hosts, the problem was resolved (access pad had malfunctioned) and apologies profuse. Nicole was wonderful to deal with. Very kind and caring.Kitchen well appointed. Deck is beautiful, relaxing place to wake up or unwind. Wish I could hesitate to recommend this stay (only because I don’t want it to become so popular that i can never stay there again). But, alas, I must be honest … if you’re going to Houghton/Hancock, stay here!

We stayed 3 weeks and felt very much at home. The home is comfortable, homey, and had everything we needed (well one more sauce pan would be better). Our hosts were very accommodating and went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable. We enjoyed walks each day along the trail along the lake behind the house and the deck was very pleasant weather permitting. The lake view was beautiful and it was a quiet location (loved listening to the waves lapping on the shore). Just one heads up if you are counting on using the desk pictured in the loft, it is no longer there. If you plan to be in the Houghton/Chassel are and are not a large group, I recommend a stay in this home.
