Absolutely loved the suite! It was very clean and came with anything you could think of for a long stay trip. We had only stayed for one night, but it was an amazing night! The owner Donna was extremely friendly and helpful, the suite was very clean, and any information you might need you can find inside. I would recommend this place 100 times over if you're looking for a cozy place to set up base for a long trip. We'll definitely be back again if we're in the area!

Liked: Staff & service, room comfort
Very comfortable and generally clean. Enjoyed having a full apartment with seating area and kitchen. Beds were comfortable. Not as clean as the hotels we had stayed in during our trip as some furniture had significant stains on them which made me not want to use it. Kitchen pans could use replacing. It would have been helpful to have a guide on how to use the two remotes: finally figured them out after some frustration.
We really enjoyed D'Bar! Perfect place to sprawl out and relax. We really enjoyed our stay. Especially nice that they had a full kitchen and dining area where we could cook our own meals. Close to Houghton and only an hour from Copper Harbor. Loved it all.

Property catered to ATV and Snowmobilers. "Suite" of three bedrooms the two of us stayed in could easily have slept a large party of nine. We opted to stay here as the on-line availability of rooms in Houghton was too costly. This unit had a flat rate for the night which was more affordable. While the decor was vintage, I would book again under similar circumstances.

Our family stayed here during MTU move in weekend. It was nice to be able to cook our own meals and avoid the very busy downtown area while still being a short drive to campus. This was a much better deal than any of the hotels. It has a rustic feel and is nothing fancy, but it met our needs for the weekend and my kids enjoyed having their own rooms. We will likely stay again when we come to visit.
