Overall this is a wonderful place to stay, cozy, clean AND THE MOST DOG FRIENDLY. The location was a bit more remote than expected and as husband is a big/tall guy, the bathroom configuration was too tight for his comfort. The host is absolutely fantastic to work with and aimed for our yotal satisfaction with our stay!

We had such an amazing time at Kim’s cabin! The location was perfect—close enough to explore sites on the Keeweenaw Peninsula, and Kim shared some great locations to see, which made our trip even more memorable. One of the biggest highlights for us was being able to bring our two dogs—our big 80-pound pup and our little beagle. They absolutely loved the fenced-in area to play, and Kim even went out of her way to bring over treats and a ball for them. That thoughtful touch meant so much.The cabin itself was stocked with everything we could need—coffee, ice, water, condiments, and more—which made us feel right at home. There was even a washer and dryer available, which we didn’t need, but it was nice to know it was there.Kim was such a gracious and helpful host, checking in and making sure we were comfortable from the moment we arrived and throughout our stay. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We highly recommend staying here anytime—you won’t be disappointed!

This is our second trip staying at Kim’s cabin. She always has everything you need and a very clean house. We brought a couple of grandkids and our three dogs this time and it’s so nice having a fenced in yard so the dogs can run around in as soon as I figured out how to use the doggie door. It’s in a very nice and quiet neighborhood and farm fresh eggs are always a message away. Thank you again for your quick responses to all of my messages and thank you for being a great host. We’re looking forward to our next day, if it’s available.Kevin and Alice

Electrical issues
The property is well kept. My issue would be with the electrical situation. Extension cords with multiple outlets are every where. I would be concerned about an electrical fire. Too many things running on extension cords plugged into a single outlet.

A bargain rental
We stayed in the upper peninsula for five nights in this very well equipped cottage. It was unbeatable for the price and served nicely as a base of exploration. It’s about a 12 mile driving into Houghton and we were a little surprised at the remoteness of the property. But if you are looking for a scenic, peaceful experience, this is it.

Nice little cottage, cozy and comfy. Love that it's dog friendly and fenced in. Kim is very friendly, love the fresh eggs from her chickens. Kim thought of everything one might need but forgot to pack. We didn't use the sauna, but that looked nice as well. A wonderful experience!

Kim's home is very clean and cozy! We had a relaxing walk in her quiet neighborhood each day. Great location with a reasonable price to enjoy the Keewenaw. Our dog , Maggie, was very happy to be able to join the adventure and visit her "boy"!

Peaceful, private and friendly environment
Absolutely a picture perfect setting for a relaxing stay.in Copper Country. Property is immaculate, cozy and provides an accommodating retreat. Close to a small harbor/ park on Portage Lake, minutes from Houghton. Great location for daytrips around Keweenaw Peninsula & Bay. Great sauna for end of the day relaxing. Amazing, friendly host is available for any questions. My stay was above all expectations. As an added bonus: Fresh eggs from the local chickens! I'd give it 6 stars.

Hiking the Keweenaw
Wonderfully clean and super host when we couldn't find the property in the dark. Easy to communicate with Kim with questions. It's obvious in the listing... it's very dog friendly, so if you have allergies, be warned. The fenced yard with grill is lovely.
