Home on MTU XC Ski Trails
Located a short walk from the Michigan Tech XC Ski Trails with to access premier skate skiing, classic, and snowshoe trails. We have a ski waxing station in the garage, including a table, vise, waxing iron, scrapers and brush) so you can wax your skis. Just bring your preferred wax. Lastly, three sets of Tubbs snowshoes come with the home. Enjoy winter right from your backyard in a home away from home.
Note: Please, NO snowmobiles or snowmobile gear on the property.
Our cozy oasis is within a mile of Michigan Tech (and their fabulous recreational trails), within 2 miles of Downtown Houghton, and within 11 miles of Mt. Ripley, the Quincy Mine, and the Houghton County airport. If the location wasn’t enough, you’ll love our place because it’s super cozy, and you get the whole house - so it’s private, too! We welcome couples, solo adventurers, business travelers, families, and friends!
Parking: Limited to two vehicles . In the winter, parking is limited to 1 vehicle (no trailers).
Smoking: Smoking is not allowed in the house or on the property.
Child Proof:
Two baby gates will be provided upon request at least one day prior to arrival.
Sleeping:
As a 1900s era mining home, the upstairs used to consist of 3 very small bedrooms. The entire upstairs was opened up into a single loft style room featuring a new Restonic (Made in the UP!) Queen size bed and a twin bed.
The living room features a pull out couch with an acceptable mattress (better than the floor).
Kitchen:
Eat-in kitchen with new appliances, crockpot, toaster, and coffee maker). The fridge is stocked with basics (ketchup, mustard, etc) and we also provide complimentary coffee and tea.
Front Porch:
An enclosed front porch is great for storing bikes and skis when not in use.
Yard:
A quarter acre lot with a hose for bike washing.
Getting Around:
Public transportation is limited outside of the city limits but there are taxi services in the area.
The house is 1 mile from Michigan Tech’s campus (I used to walk or ride bike to campus daily - year round). Downtown Houghton is 2 miles from the house.
