We stayed here while in town for our daughter’s wedding. The reception was right across the street at the Fire Hall. Obviously the location couldn’t have been any better! We had our 7 mo old grandson also and when he was fussy we had plenty of space to push him around in his stroller. Vern was a great host, very quick to respond to questions!

Stayed one night to ride snowmobile up the keweenaw. Fantastic location, literally ON the trail. Great bars down the block. Hosts were very communicative and friendly. Clean place with tons of space to hang out. Nice use of an old building with cool history. Will be back!

Overall we enjoyed our stay but your place has a few problems. The bathroom ,especially the toilet is difficult to use for elderly and disabled. It is low and is at a wierd angle making hard on bigger disabled people. Some of the building looks like a work in progress. The bunkbed that is in there squeaks something terrible. Every time my son would turn over or get up it would wake us all up. I liked the fact that it basically an antique and I appreciate the efforts that you have made. We loved the spaciousness and the homey feel of the place. Overall I feel you are offering great value and I would highly recommend your place to friends. Thank you for letting us stay there and for replying so quickly to my inquiries.

Might be okay for a group of local guys, but all others be warned. Hostile, run-down area next to a laundromat and dive bar. Sketchy drunk guys watching/following us. Multiple security loopholes in the access system, any of those loiterers outside could breach if they were bored and wanted to. Shoddily repaired window frames, possibly indicating a past break in. If you look at the reviews, another woman mentions people trying to break in during her stay. Finding the "murder hole" was the last straw. It's not uncommon to find tunnels connecting these old storefronts, and the fact that it had a lock for show but wasn't actually locked, nor was it ABLE to be locked made us wonder what kind of an operation is being run here. (Why would someone place a dummy lock on a door?) Appeared to be accessible to other building tenants. I've slept outside with wolves, I've slept in hostels, in Chicago and you couldn't pay me to sleep here. Even worse, when I contacted the owner and politely asked for my money back, he accused me of extortion (like I would bother extorting someone for a hundred bucks!) and insisted that nothing was wrong with the property. I fear for the safety of anyone staying here, especially since the host seems to be completely dismissive of the safety of his tenants. It's evident from the photos that he's okay with a haphazard approach to home renovation, but it's not okay to take a haphazard approach to safety, especially for women & minority tenants.

Unique space
Stayed here for a family visit to see my daughter at Tech. The loft was very big and unique. The main bed comfy, the others were clean and we were warm, plentyof towels, hot water which was amazing, TV worked with no issues, a wonderful supply of coffee and it was easy to find and check in close to MTU. We did have 3 separate issues with people trying to get in in the middle of the night. Not knocking, but actually trying to get in. I'm not sure if it was people from the bar across the street or people confused about where they were staying? I recommend you keep the door deadbolted at all times. Maybe a sign on the door that people are in the unit? Also, the upstairs neighbors made it impossible to sleep the first night and the radiators were loud at times. Aside from the noise and unwanted visitors trying to get it, we enjoyed our stay. I'm just very glad my dad was with us.

Unique open floor plan. Clean. Everything worked as it should. Did I mention clean!?! We only had 4 people but would go back with 8 for a night or two. It’s very close to copper country sights. There’s a lot of floor space. Thought they could use a table tennis game 😆. I can’t say anything bad about this property.

What a grand old building! Nice quiet street. At first was a bit apprehensive about the large open space but, it grows on you! Could have been a bit cleaner. A few more of the divider screens might nice for a bit of privacy between beds. That may offer a bit more of a cozy feel and not cost an arm and a leg for the owners of the building.

Very clean historic downtown building space with lots of history
This property was two blocks from my niece; the perfect local for this trip. The two places I rented were in an old downtown building in South Range with nice, open space and unique, historical feel with great amenities. Communication was excellent with the host; I had no issues during the stay..everything worked well.

Not great
Expected an open floor plan type apartment but this is actually a former store with a full kitchen, bathroom, and a few beds and couches. It was not really comfortable. Two large bars but no table. Lighting mostly ceiling fan lights. Windows poorly covered—could see in from sidewalk all the way thru and bathroom window not fully covered. Also not very clean. Beds, bathroom sink and toilet were fine but floor not clean, especially around walls. Did not even consider using shower—dark and didn’t look great. Someone had written “hi” in dust on crock pot lid. Also strange noises about every 20 minutes—one probably ice maker. Could hear person upstairs walking into early morning hours. Way too much light coming in after dark. Would be fine for a large group of guys but not for one or two people. Has potential but needs some work and cleaning.

Plenty of space as it basically was 40' by 50'! We liked the kitchen area, the coffee options, the big screen, and most of the beds. The top bunk was a bit uncomfortable and bathroom small, but we would ABSOLUTELY stay here again. Thanks!

Rustic stay
I look for a new place to stay each year for my annual trips to the Keweenaw. I love learning new history of the area. The Kaleva Temple has that history. My overall rating is a 4, with a few necessary updates the rating could easily be a 5.
