We had so much fun at Techâs winterfest and the place is a great location, easy to get to. Fully stocked kitchen with all the hardwear and cooking wear. Very clean!!!
We were in the UP for an extended family vacation and had an amazing stay at the Kemp's Loft Rental! Rental was exactly as described, clean, and had anything and everything one could need while there. Great communication from owners.
All the kids (ages 5-17) loved the bunk room. We all loved the amenities by the lake! Private location, but close to MTU and the Keweenaw. Would definitely stay again!
This property was perfect for our stay with our extended family! We had three families, two with children and the arrangement of the rooms and bathrooms made for a comfortable stay for all. The kitchen is well equipped and table seating let us feed our large group easily. Super cozy lodge to hang out in and play games, watch football, visit. Great proximity to campus for the MTU basketball games (Go Huskies!). And easy to access hikes to the north (Hungarian Falls). Will definitely stay many more times!
We had 12 people in our group, made up of 4 adults and our 8 adult age boys and their girlfriends. It was a great space for all of us. We really enjoyed using the lake side gazebo and firepit, and sharing it with the neighbors was no problem since they communicated to us when they were having a party. The owners were great! Very accommodating and a pleasure to deal with. Wonderful location and within riding distance of so many great sight seeing areas.
Our stay at Kemps Loft/carriage house was very enjoyable. Although the outdoor pavilion and waterfront area are shared with two of the other guest houses on the property, we didn't have any trouble sharing. The lake was very clean and not nearly as cold as we expected. The waterfront pavilion and outdoor kitchen were well set up and a great way to spend time near the water. They had 2 paddle boards and 2 kayaks down by the lake plus boards for corn hole (not a full set of bags though, so maybe bring your own!). The house was well stocked with almost everything we needed (in some cases, more than we expected - like the sauna!). Be aware that the entrance does contain a long flight of shallow stairs (33 steps). It was setup really well for a large group and we had an amazing time!
Kempâs Rentals was great. Everything was as listed. We met with the owners and they are very friendly and helpful. We recommend this place if you have a large group. We will stay here again if our travels ever bring us this far north.
We rented the property for a family wedding. There were 6 adults and we all were very impressed with the cleanliness of the property. The view down by the water was beautiful! I would highly recommend this property to anyone and everyone :).
We decided to do a destination Christmas this year for us and our adult children. Ideally we wanted a winter wonderland with lots of snow and a cozy place to enjoy our time together. Our Dollar Bay Barndominium was perfect.
The place was right out of a magazine with open but inviting spaces and plenty of room for all 10 of us. We were there 12/23 - 12/26 and had a magical Christmas morning with a giant breakfast cooked in the amazing kitchen and plenty of time sharing gifts and making unforgettable memories.
The place was clean and meticulously maintained. The kitchen was stocked with everything we needed to cook all our meals and the beds were super comfy.
We didn't use any of the outdoor spaces or go to the lake due to a blizzard and constant snowing. We would love to visit in the summer time to be able to experience the ambiance of the lake pavilion.
If you're looking for a winter wonderland Houghton is the place to be.
Been renting properties for large groups for last 20 years, this property and the adjoining property were the nicest we have ever experienced. That along with the use of the lakeside pavilion and fire pit made this property top notch.
Upper Michigan is our favorite place to vacation - Sandy and Dan's Carriage House was the very first cabin/house rental of many we stayed, that was more beautiful and very accurate with the online pictures. Gorgeous house with all the comforts of home. Although we did; we did not need to leave the premises to enjoy our vacation. The Lake-Beach-Firepit and Pavillion were the perfect place to hang out, swim, enjoy water sports, play games, grill food and just relax in the fresh air while in or out of the sun. When we come back to The Keewenaw, we will for certain be looking at staying with the Kemps again!
Loved the living space and the beautiful location. Kids went swimming every day and played corn hole. Nothing to complain about except I expected the whole place to be air conditioned and only the main living area had air. The bedrooms were hot unless the nights cooled off. There were enough fans for each room and each also had ceiling fans.
The property was absolutely gorgeous. The house was cozy, and comfortable as well. To top it all off, the owner was friendly and easy to communicate with.
Country setting yet close to everything!! Next door to Sandy Bottom Beach on Portage Lake. Also have use of our 70' dock for docking your boats, jet skis, fishing and swimming!
