Great historic home in the heart of Hancock. We enjoyed our stay in this unique house that I would highly recommend visiting. Pam was great and quick to follow up with our questions. Very clean and nicely updated while keeping the essence of the house.

Overall nice place to stay. House was quiet and clean. Recommend owners put some type of traction on the steps going upstairs to prevent anyone from getting hurt. We didn’t have any issues or injuries - thought I’d share feedback on that.

We stayed at this historic home during move-in weekend at MTU. The location could not have been more perfect! Just outside of the hustle in Houghton but close enough to get back to easily. The home itself displays its age (tons of character) but is so very well maintained! Thank you Pamela for allowing us to stay in your home!

Very nice property with a short walk to downtown. The house is large with lots of room and the included garage to park on is a bonus. My biggest gripe about the house is that there is no air conditioning which maybe we should have expected for an older home.

Great Location and Lots to Look At

We really enjoyed this place. Location is quick to MTU and to the bike trails, and almost anything you want to do. So many interesting things (art, stones, furniture, etc) to look at in the house. Bed was super comfortable.

A classic old Upper Peninsula house. We appreciated the convenience to Michigan Tech, the kitchen amenities, and the upstairs bonus room. Just be aware for summer travelers…there is no air conditioning like most houses in the UP. The neighborhood was quiet and there were fans in rooms for a little ventilation, but 90+ daytime highs can make for a challenge to cool things down. Pamela was a wonderful host and very accommodating throughout our stay!

The home was perfectly located for our purposes in Hancock. The house is being beautifully restored and is appointed with very nice furniture that fits with the restoration of the house. We found it had everything we needed and a third floor room that was perfect for spending time alone if you needed to. Pamela provided information about the area and was prompt at getting back to us with any questions we had. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Hancock.

The apartment has all the amenities needed for a comfortable stay. The apartment is located in a very pedestrian friendly part of downtown Wausau. The apartment managers are very prompt in answering any issue. I recommend this loft apartment as well as recommending Wausau as a place to sprend a few days as a tourist.

House is beautiful; with stained glass and antique furnishings. We loved the 3rd floor also, which was more modern and had a smart tv. Very much enjoyed our stay and it was very close to downtown Hancock and Houghton. Highly recommend.

Great location for walking in Hancock or across the bridge to Houghton. In a quiet neighborhood. You feel like you are staying in the home of your Aunt with the piano and antiques. Very nice updated kitchen. Be prepared for lots of stairs.

The house in a charming neighborhood and it's an easy walk to downtown Hancock or across the bridge to Houghton. The property has a great view of Portage Lake. The house has been updated but retains the original historical charm including an underground passage from the garage to the house. The host was very responsive and helpful. We really enjoyed our stay !!
