Enjoy views of the Portage Canal and Michigan Tech right from the front porch!

It also offers a full-size bed and generous closet in the first-floor bedroom. The upstairs bedrooms have a queen bed and a twin trundle bed, respectively. With modern amenities such as WiFi, a Smart TV, and a Keurig coffee maker, you’ll enjoy this historic destination in comfort. Whether looking for a peaceful retreat or a convenient base for outdoor adventures, this property has it all.

We had a lovely stay and the owners were amazingly helpful and attentive throughout our stay. The coffee machine went out the first morning and within an hour or so, they dropped off a brand new one. The house is adorable, super clean and we would absolutely return!

40th Birthday Trip

My husband turned 40 this year and decided it was time to take the UP trip he’s been dreaming of. We decided to try a VRBO instead of a hotel as we wanted something homie feeling for the last couple days of our trip. This place was perfection. Enough space for us to spread out but still enjoy time together. Close to tons of different shops and restaurants to explore and in driving distance of Copper Harbor! We loved every minute of our stay and are already trying to figure out when we will return. Thank you for sharing your home with us.
