Private Space in Houghton on MTU Trails

Guests will have access to the entire private walkout basement space in the lower level of our house. Enjoy the trails all four seasons by simply walking through the backyard. Close to town and Michigan Tech. Easy access to the bike path along the Portage Canal. Private bathroom. Free wifi, coffee, and private sauna. Easy parking on premises. Private entrance via lockbox key. Super clean and sanitized. Everyone in our house is now fully vaccinated. You will have a private entrance into the walkout basement space that is the entire lower level of our house sitting on 1.5 acres, less than 2 miles from Michigan Tech and Downtown Houghton. We have access to the Nara Trails, which are part of the Michigan Tech Bike/Ski Trails System, where you can enjoy mountain biking, skiing, hiking, snow shoeing, fishing (the trails encompass the Pilgrim River), walking dogs, bird watching, and just being in nature. Across the highway, you can quickly hop on a paved bike path which will take you into town and campus, available all seasons except winter. This Airbnb space comes with it's own private bathroom equipped with towels, toilet paper, soaps - everything you'll need. You'll also be able to enjoy wifi, Roku TV, a thermostat which you control, and a sauna if you'd like. The basement space is naturally cooler in the summer, and there are fans to help on the hottest of days. There is a kitchenette area with coffee supplied. You'll also find a mini-fridge, microwave, toaster, plates, glasses, and silverware to help accommodate your dining needs. AND we share a driveway with the Pilgrim River Steakhouse, so fine dining is just steps away! We welcome everyone to our property - visitors to Tech, outdoors enthusiasts, folks just looking for some peace and quiet - whomever you are - you are welcome here!

Everyone in our house is now fully vaccinated, so we are once again inviting guests to come up to use the kitchen and laundry facilities. However, per the CDC's recommendations, please wear a mask even if you're vaccinated. You can make arrangements with us ahead of time by messaging or texting, or you can simply knock on the door at the top of the stairs and come up. We live in the house and will be available most of the time if needed. We love meeting guests and chatting, but if you're looking for peace and quiet, we are happy to respect your space as well. It's all up to you! The entrance to the Airbnb is completely private, so when you book you'll be given instructions for how to access a lock box with a key for entry. You can check in any time after 3:00pm, but if your schedule has you arriving earlier than that, feel free to check to see if we're ready for you. If so, you're welcome to come earlier! We feel our space is quite unique for the area as we have access to so many wonderful amenities, but are also so close to town. It is quiet here with abundant space. We love it and know you will, too! There is a purple binder provided in the basement room with lots of information you could use about the area. There's so much to see and do here! Dogs are definitely welcome! We adopted our puppy, Artemis, about 2 years ago and she is very friendly and trained on an invisible fence. Please let us know if you're planning to bring a dog and we'll make sure that everything is all set before you arrive. Thanks! We've also enhanced our cleaning practices (which were already top-notch!) to be more in line with the CDC guidelines and make sure that all surfaces are disinfected before each guest. We will do our best to get in and out quickly in between guests to make sure the air has time to settle before your stay. We will do our best to make sure your private space is as safe as possible! We are silent sports enthusiasts. Please, no snowmobiles.
