The cabin was very clean and had a good kitchen area and comfortable seating in common area. The 3 bedrooms were also very nice and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for parking as well. Would stay here again.

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.

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.

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!

There is plenty of space for the kids to run and play. There is plenty of parking, and very quiet and peaceful. It's located right off of a highway and houghton is minutes away. Don and Donna are very kind and the cabins are cozy and well supplied with kitchen utensils and other conveniences. This was our third time, and there will definitely be a fourth.

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.

The amount of space and places to sleep were great with the kids along. The outside light was burnt out so it was pitch dark when we arrived. The one bedroom also had a light bulb out and didn’t work. There was one window air conditioner and it was in a bedroom so the door had to stay open to cool the main area. Parking was great as we could park next to our room. When looking to make sure we had everything while looking under beds the floor was not clean. The batteries in the tv remote were dead and so we used the box itself attached to the tv which was very annoying. All in all it was ok but not great.

Three night family stay
It get the job done for a place to stay. Old pans need to be get rid of. Small table and not much to put grocery items. No bed side table. Able to cook that is always good for a place .

We checked in towards the end of the night and they waited for us. The room was payed in advanced and nothing extra was needed. Super quick access to our clean room was given. All the rooms/beds were clean and ready for us. Checkout instructions were clear. Overall very good experience!

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.

This is an excellent space for larger groups of people. Kid-friendly and a great location for us. 15 minutes to Lake Superior, 15 minutes to Houghton. The only constructive feedback we have is the steps/floors under couches/beds /window sills needed to be vacuumed. Also, using scented garbage bags, air freshener spray and heavily scented laundry detergent was a huge turn off.
