Money!
This place is absolutely perfect. Cabin #4 was incredibly clean and cozy. We were up visiting our son who plays football at MTU, and felt right at home. The game room, hot tub, and sauna was definitely an added bonus. That will come in handy during future stays for ski trips as well. This is a must stay for anyone visiting the Houghton/Hancock area. Kari and her husband now have lifelong customers.

MTU Parents weekend visit
I have stayed at several different rentals in this area during my many visits to my son at MTU and this one was my favorite. Not only was the cabin beautifully appointed, but the location was lovely. Little Sandy Beach on the shore of the waterway with wonderful views of the campus in the bridge. Really showed off Houghton and Hancock. The game room was such a delight. Maybe next time will remember our swimsuits for the hot tub and song. Beautiful beautiful place.
