Rustic, yet Modern Trailside Cottage/MTU 2.3 Miles

Experience the Copper Country's natural beauty from our flagship property! The Miner was tastefully decorated & pays tribute to the area’s rich copper mining history. It is quaint & relaxing, yet spacious enough for entertaining.

The Miner is the perfect destination for couples, business travelers and small families as it sits at the gateway to the Keweenaw and is located steps from the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail.

A portion of all bookings will donated to local youth hockey.

All of our vacation rentals are centered around the Keweenaw’s top four season attractions! Located near the pristine shores of Lake Superior, we have single family properties available ranging from 1-3 bedrooms. Our properties are located within historical downtown Hancock and in the quaint town of Chassell Michigan. When you book with us, you will find remodeled homes decorated with rustically modern finishes and outfitted with well appointed kitchens.

Our guests are able to access the entire property to include their own private laundry, luxury shower and full kitchen with all the amenities you could need to host your open private dinner.

I may or may not be available during your stay, but we have a property manager that lives in the area, and is available.

The Keweenaw Peninsula is a four season destination, and is exciting for everyone because there is always something to do! You can enjoy our pristine fresh water beaches in the summer because we are salt free! Seek adventure on the world’s best snowmobile trails because we get up to 25 feet of snow each winter! If you are looking for a quiet vacation then visit this spring to hunt morel mushrooms! If fall is more your speed, then come for the great weather and breathtaking colors. After all, it doesn’t matter what time of the year you arrive, we always have something wonderful to experience!

If you are looking to steep yourself in rich culture, then the Copper Country is the place to visit! We have roughly 68 museums, attractions and ghost towns to explore! Come catch a play at Michigan Tech’s Rozsa Center, or visit the historic Calumet Theater to step back in time! Visit the birthplace of professional hockey. Watch your Michigan Tech Huskies battle the nation’s top collegiate hockey teams at the John McGinnis Ice Center!

Onsite parking is available.

*Please note that we are located along Lincoln St (US41) and the snowmobile trail. I would hate to lose your business because of it, but I would rather make sure you are happy with your stay. If you are a very light sleeper, other accommodations might be better suited for your needs. If you want to be in the middle of everything, and walking distance to restaurants and shopping I have no doubt that you will love it!

The Copper Country is an excellent destination for an adventure with your pup. With host approval, you may bring up to two dogs under 40 pounds. Please note that a non-refundable pet fee applies, and all pets must be disclosed at the time of booking. After your reservation is confirmed or upon request, we will provide you with our detailed pet rules to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone.

The experience was great right from the start of booking! We immediately received an email from the host asking if we had any questions. We came to MI for a snowmobiling trip. The location for trail riding is EXCELLENT. Trail is literally across the street. No issues with hearing snowmobilers or noise at all. Check in was easy. The cabin is well stocked with anything you may need for your stay even children's dishes, cooking and baking utensils, etc. Parking area was great for one large SUV and 27' trailer. Decor is fun and inviting. We had an issue with forgetting something and the host went to the property right away and got it out to us immediately. Great- honest people. Location is perfect for shopping, eating. We will defiantly stay here again!

We came to the Keeeenaw to visit our granddaughter at MTU and to tour the area after several years away. We chose The Miner as it was across the street from places we knew from the past and convenient to places we planned to travel. The hosts have provided a charming renovated apartment with easy access to main streets. It had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. Communications were prompt and accommodating. When we locked ourselves out, the property manager arrived within minutes to rescue us. The 4 star on location is only because it is on a busy street as noted in the description. We knew exactly where it was and were good with the location, but it is definitely not for everyone.

We appreciated this little home in a convenient location to visit with family and friends nearby. It was extremely clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and homey. We hiked the Keweenaw, discovered new places, and revisited old favorites. Loved the copper vibe. Fred is an excellent host, friendly and readily available. Looking forward to our next stay!

We continue to graduate our progeny from nearby MTU, and The Miner has become a favorite place to stay to help celebrate the accomplishment.Always clean, easy to get to, effortless to stay. Everything we can hope for in an area with limited hotel/motel rooms. This time both grandmas traveled with us and they appreciated the one story layout, easy egress and mining-themed decorations!

Miner to Portage

We were originally supposed to stay at the Miner with this owner but they called us as we were on our way from Wisconsin to ask if we’d be willing to go to a different property for the same price. Portage Center is a beautiful place and my family really enjoyed our short stay. The owner was so accommodating and when I communicated with them the day before our trip asking for a late checkout, they were not able to provide that but offered us a refund so we would be able to find a place that would work better for us. We don’t need to do that as plans had changed and we wouldn’t have one of our family members and our pet with us anymore. After letting the owner know that they refunded our pet deposit. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful updated rental in a busy place right on the road - so if you’re looking for no traffic going by this won’t be the place for you. There is a view of the water from the open concept living space and there is so much open space. The house was decorated in MTU hockey which was so fitting that we were doing preview day at MTU it our daughter
