Cozy and economical
This place has everything you need for even an extended time in a small space: air fryer, dishes, coffee maker and tabletop stove. My only concern is that the fire alarm started beeping as soon as we turned on the air fryer because of food residue at the bottom. Aside from that I greatly enjoyed my stay!

Fall Fishing Trip
Second year staying at this property and it was great again!!
Everything we needed for pick up weekend for my MTU student. The weather wasn’t great, so we didn’t get out as much as we normally do, so it was nice to have a comfortable place to hide out from the rain.

Cute little place.
The only thing bad I have to say is the shower water doesn’t get warm. The sink water gets super hot but the shower is cold.

Amazing find!
This was a great find! Very clean and an overall fun place to stay. The host was extremely responsive and kind. There were no surprises on our arrival. Do not be afraid of the size of the conex box or location. It is nestled just a few short miles from town and the noise. The surroundings are beautiful and attention to detail in and out we found to be outstanding! Great job to the hosts! We will be spreading the word to all those we know who plan to stay in Houghton. Wishing we could have packed up the box and taken it with us on our travels across Michigan’s finest in the UP. Cheers!
