Beautiful spot

I grew up in this town… one of my HighSchool friends grew up in the house next door, and I loved going to her house and looking out over Houghton/Hancock. This place was a great stay. Loved the view, a great launching point for keweenaw exploration with the family. We all really loved the house, and plan to stay again in the future.
