Great Location, Beautiful Apartment
Really nice property. Great location right on the snowmobile trails in the winter, and right on the water for the summer. The game room is a fun addition as is the hot tub sauna area. Everything was very clean, and we had everything we needed for the stay. Only reason for 4 stars vs 5 is the quality of the mattress. We're admittedly a little spoiled/picky in this area, but a better mattress would have elevated the stay for us.

Grest Find!
Visited our daughter at MTU a snowy, chilly weekend in Feb. The game room was great entertainment for everyone in the family and the hot tub was a hit after skiing. The provided coffee was a nice surprise too

Hancock Quaint Stay
A nice location for Ice Festival. Hot tube and Sauna great. Our place was a one bedroom with apartment feel. We had everything we needed but it was simple. No dishwasher, but we ate out a lot! We got to see fireworks from our window!

Great little spot!
The property was clean and tidy with some added surprises! The little snack tray was a bonus for sure. I would definitely stay again.
