Lastly, three sets of Tubbs snowshoes come with the home. Enjoy winter right from your backyard in a home away from home.

An awesome place to stay while the snow comes down! I really enjoyed being able to squeeze in some snowshoeing while on my work trip. The locals were getting tired of the snow, but it was a beautiful throwback for me. My grandparents live in a similar house, so it was like going to stay at their place. Thank you very much for having me! I loved staying here!

From the friendly and informative welcome book to the smores supplies, this rental feels like home. Everything about this cozy house was a lovely surprise! Clean (like bare feet and white socks clean!). Plenty of extra linens (fluffy towels!). Fully stocked kitchen (pots, pans, glass storage, ice cube trays, coffee, coffee filters, spices). Every detail has been well thought out. There are even extra toiletries in case you forgot something! The location is amazing! Walking distance to MTU and trails. There is never enough time to experience all the beauty and adventures of the area. We will be back!

The location was perfect for our vacation in the UP! We loved the history of the house and the setting in the quiet neighborhood of Houghton.
We didn't realize the sole bathroom was downstairs and the sole bedroom upstairs. We re-read the VRBO description and looked again at the pictures and feel that fact wasn't at all clear.
Also, there wasn't any soap for the shower, and we were only furnished with one handtowel and two washcloths for our entire six-day stay.
