Property Description
The Miner is beautifully remodeled, and centrally located in historic Hancock MI. The the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail #17 is located directly across the street, offering easy access to hundreds of miles of groomed trails taking you across Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
We provide easy access to Houghton (1.6 miles), Michigan Tech (2.3 miles), Finlandia University (.3 miles), and historic Calumet is only 13.8 miles away.
Please note that we are located along Lincoln St (US41) and the snowmobile trail. I would hate to lose your business because of it, but I would rather make sure you are happy with your stay. If you are a very light sleeper, other accommodations might be better suited for your needs. If want to be in the middle of everything, I have no doubt that you will love it!

We had the best time at this property, and we will stay there again if given an opportunity! The property was adorable and convenient…lots of amenities in the house. It was perfect for our family dogs. The hosts were super responsive and very helpful!

We came to the Keeeenaw to visit our granddaughter at MTU and to tour the area after several years away. We chose The Miner as it was across the street from places we knew from the past and convenient to places we planned to travel. The hosts have provided a charming renovated apartment with easy access to main streets. It had all we needed for a very comfortable stay. Communications were prompt and accommodating. When we locked ourselves out, the property manager arrived within minutes to rescue us. The 4 star on location is only because it is on a busy street as noted in the description. We knew exactly where it was and were good with the location, but it is definitely not for everyone.

We appreciated this little home in a convenient location to visit with family and friends nearby. It was extremely clean, comfortable, well-equipped, and homey. We hiked the Keweenaw, discovered new places, and revisited old favorites. Loved the copper vibe. Fred is an excellent host, friendly and readily available. Looking forward to our next stay!

We continue to graduate our progeny from nearby MTU, and The Miner has become a favorite place to stay to help celebrate the accomplishment.Always clean, easy to get to, effortless to stay. Everything we can hope for in an area with limited hotel/motel rooms. This time both grandmas traveled with us and they appreciated the one story layout, easy egress and mining-themed decorations!

Cute, cozy, and clean!
This place is a gem! Perfect convenient location for an MTU parent, or a great spot to venture around the area. We will definitely stay here again.

Miner to Portage
We were originally supposed to stay at the Miner with this owner but they called us as we were on our way from Wisconsin to ask if we’d be willing to go to a different property for the same price. Portage Center is a beautiful place and my family really enjoyed our short stay. The owner was so accommodating and when I communicated with them the day before our trip asking for a late checkout, they were not able to provide that but offered us a refund so we would be able to find a place that would work better for us. We don’t need to do that as plans had changed and we wouldn’t have one of our family members and our pet with us anymore. After letting the owner know that they refunded our pet deposit. Overall it was a wonderful stay in a beautiful updated rental in a busy place right on the road - so if you’re looking for no traffic going by this won’t be the place for you. There is a view of the water from the open concept living space and there is so much open space. The house was decorated in MTU hockey which was so fitting that we were doing preview day at MTU it our daughter
