Baby get together

Such a comfortable stay! We brought family with 18 month old and 3 year old and when they saw 3rd floor they were so delighted. We then met 1 month old grandbaby from Calumet. For us all to be together was incredible. Loved northern lights we saw from the front yard. The beautiful fall colors on the Portage. Lunch at the Michigan House. Jam from the Jampot. We did it all.

Beautiful place, very well supplied!

We loved it. You will, too. It's a beautiful house, beautifully decorated, with beautiful artwork, and it may well be the best-supplied VRBO we’ve ever rented. Dear Mary, put this firepit in the back yard where there is a perfect opening for it: Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 smokeless fire pit —with stand and cover. Thanks for having us!

Great house, Centrally located

We all enjoyed the beautiful home with all the sitting rooms and excellently furnished. Close to both downtown Hancock and Houghton - we walked to local restaurants and had a splendid time in the house. The extra parking lot is not really a usable option, but there was ample parking on street and in the driveway for our 5 vehicles.

Historic Old Victorian with all the comforts of home and more. Close to all of the outdoor activities (snow shoe trails, skiing, snowmobiling) that we were interested in doing, and a short drive or walk from shops and reataurants. Welcoming note and treats from the host, great communication, everything above and beyond. 2nd visit here, we'll be back!

Magical

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this enchanting VRBO property with seven of my friends, and I must say, it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale! From the moment we walked through the front door, we were captivated by the museum-quality design, the exquisite antique furniture, and the impressive art pieces that adorned every corner of the house. Yet, this fairytale home was not just a display piece; it seamlessly blended modern amenities with its classic charm to ensure our utmost comfort. The heart of any home is its kitchen, and this one was a culinary dream come true. It boasted top-notch appliances, a wide array of dishes, pots, and pans, and a generous selection of spices that made cooking a delight. The kitchen quickly became the heart of our stay, allowing us to whip up delicious meals and create lasting memories. What truly sets this property apart is its versatility. With ample gathering spaces and cozy corners, "Old Vic" accommodated every mood and preference. Whether we wanted to come together for lively conversations or enjoy some quiet alone time, the house had us covered. The front porch was a personal favorite, offering a cozy spot to savor morning coffee while watching the sunrise or to unwind with a cocktail as we soaked in breathtaking sunsets. The third-floor honeymoon room was a true gem. The panoramic view was simply stunning, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the quality of the linens made us feel pampered. It was the perfect escape w

The Old Vic does not disappoint

We had a group of friends caravan up to the Houghton Keweenaw area for the fall colors and great local offerings. I selected The Old Vic with the location, view, space & layout, and amenities for our group. All of the above expectations were met and in the property amenities exceeded. Mary, the property host, is beyond intuitive in her offerings at the property. Our plans for the stay were extensive, but we looked forward to the time we returned to The Old Vic to regroup and recharge. All the charm with so much of the original architectural finishes of the home coupled with the modern amenities and homey touches making it the best of all the offerings. We are glad we looked and booked early for the opportunity to experience this gem. Thank you, Mary, for creating the exceptional stay experience.

Our group of 8 celebrated our 70th birthdays together at this incredible historical home that seemed to wrap its arms around us from the moment we arrived! The amenities abound. The owner's talent for decorating was immediately noticed. Her desire to provide comfort was evident during our entire stay. This was the perfect location to tour Copper Country from. Fun was had and fond memories were made, thank you Mary!

Just PERFECT

Mary was wonderful-answered all questions promptly and even allowed my relative to tour Olde Vic prior to our visit. Olde Vic is GORGEOUS-beautifully decorated with holiday touches, but it truly had anything and everything you could ever want or need. There were even extras like cookies & fruit & coffee! Everyone had space to do anything they needed-even check in with work. Centrally located with beautiful views, and since we were there just after a blizzard, I can say with confidence that snow was moved enough to let my plain old minivan get around. Mary even left us with stuff to sprinkle down in case of ice. Super relaxing with plenty of room to gather friends or family in an unforgettable setting, we will be coming back to Olde Vic, and thanks again Mary!
