a cute little home

Very clean, very homey home. Everything we needed was right there at our fingertips. We enjoyed our stay at the Penney House. I think the only thing that would have made this home a perfect getaway for us would have been a different location -being on a busy highway. I would love to pluck it from its location and put it out in the country but that is impossible. Otherwise it was a very nice stay.

Family Vacation

We stayed at the house for one week with our 4 kids, ranging in ages 7-15. The house was very clean and bright. We had a fabulous time. The location is perfect with a gas station and grocery nice and close. Bruce Crossing was central to everything we wanted to do on vacation (Porcupine Mountains, Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, Keweenaw Peninsula). There are also a couple waterfalls with some hiking close by! If there’s anything I would add it would maybe be a air conditioned window unit upstairs but we made do. I would recommend this place to my family and friends and if we come back would stay again!

Base camp

We used this property as a base camp while seeking out waterfalls in the U.P.. It served its purpose. Clean and everything worked. The garage as an option seems nice but we never went in there as we had no need to. All information was provided through email and no issues came up that we needed to contact property management/owners. The shower is a bit small but I’m a big guy at 6’1 250+ lbs and I was able to fit. My kids had no issues either. I am happy the way everything worked out and anything I didn’t get accomplished is on me. Went way better than our last trip up North.

Waterfall Adventure!!

Sandy!! We cannot thank you enough for sharing your home with us for our “Waterfall Adventure”!! Your home’s accommodations were unmatched from the cleanliness, to the cozy decorations and extras you provided…the kiddos loved the fruit snacks and rice crispy treats! This location was perfect for exploring the west side waterfalls and beautiful scenery! We were able to visit 27 waterfalls during our 5 day stay! Thank you again for an incredible week of memories made!

Great little getaway

Great place to stay all around. Room was cozy and exactly as pictured. Took advantage of the lodges pool/hot tub post ski and kids had a great time at the small arcade, ice rink, or just wandering around the village. Ski valet was great and not having to get up early, deal with parking and lug everything to the mountain was worth the price of staying here vs saving a bit off mountain.
