Summary: Really nice place to stay for our quick winter trip up to visit family. The neighborhood is very quiet, which was great. Wish it would've been summer to enjoy the nice back patio and mountain bike trail access.

Summary: Owners were very responsive to any questions. Quick responses.! Beds were comfortable. Nicely kept rental. AND great location - just up the street is the main town. A group of young men stayed here and thoroughly enjoyed the area and the snow boarding at Mt Bohemia.

Summary: We had a great stay at the property. The house is exactly what is described and located in a great location. We skied from the nearby trailhead and snow shoed from the house. We also downhill skied at Mt Ripley and skied and fat tire biked in Calumet. The house has a ski bench in the garage and you can store bikes there as well. Kitchen is well supplied and we made all our dinners at the house. We really enjoyed our stay. also, as a Lake Superior sailor I enjoyed the nautical charts on the walls!

Summary: We really enjoyed our stay here. It was the perfect size place for a family of three and located right near downtown Houghton. The guest book had great suggestions for restaurants and fun places to go with children. We highly recommend pizza at the Ambassador and visiting the Chutes and Ladders Park.
