The Old Vic does not disappoint

We had a group of friends caravan up to the Houghton Keweenaw area for the fall colors and great local offerings. I selected The Old Vic with the location, view, space & layout, and amenities for our group. All of the above expectations were met and in the property amenities exceeded. Mary, the property host, is beyond intuitive in her offerings at the property. Our plans for the stay were extensive, but we looked forward to the time we returned to The Old Vic to regroup and recharge. All the charm with so much of the original architectural finishes of the home coupled with the modern amenities and homey touches making it the best of all the offerings. We are glad we looked and booked early for the opportunity to experience this gem. Thank you, Mary, for creating the exceptional stay experience.

A spectacular home with attentive, thoughtful hosts

This beautifully restored Victorian home is full of charm and thoughtful details. It feels incredibly spacious and is great for large families or groups of friends, with many different spaces for relaxing. From a kitchen and dining room fit for a Thanksgiving feast, to a variety of sitting rooms, to wonderful outdoor spaces like the front porch and large back deck (with a pro quality grill), there was plenty of space for everyone to spread out. The location of the house is part of what makes it so special. We could watch the Isle Royale ferry from the front porch, and enjoyed strolling down to the Portage Canal after dinner. It's also within walking distance of Hancock's charming historic center. Our hosts Mary and Jan went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. They also provided some great suggestions for restaurants and sights to see around the Keweenaw. Our trip flew by, and we would love to come back again to explore more of this spectacular area and to enjoy this wonderful home.

Baby get together

Such a comfortable stay! We brought family with 18 month old and 3 year old and when they saw 3rd floor they were so delighted. We then met 1 month old grandbaby from Calumet. For us all to be together was incredible. Loved northern lights we saw from the front yard. The beautiful fall colors on the Portage. Lunch at the Michigan House. Jam from the Jampot. We did it all.

We loved it. You will, too. It's a beautiful house, beautifully decorated, with beautiful artwork, and it may well be the best-supplied VRBO we’ve ever rented. Dear Mary, put this firepit in the back yard where there is a perfect opening for it: Solo Stove Yukon 2.0 smokeless fire pit —with stand and cover. Thanks for having us!

Great house, Centrally located

We all enjoyed the beautiful home with all the sitting rooms and excellently furnished. Close to both downtown Hancock and Houghton - we walked to local restaurants and had a splendid time in the house. The extra parking lot is not really a usable option, but there was ample parking on street and in the driveway for our 5 vehicles.

Magical

I recently had the pleasure of staying at this enchanting VRBO property with seven of my friends, and I must say, it truly felt like stepping into a fairytale! From the moment we walked through the front door, we were captivated by the museum-quality design, the exquisite antique furniture, and the impressive art pieces that adorned every corner of the house. Yet, this fairytale home was not just a display piece; it seamlessly blended modern amenities with its classic charm to ensure our utmost comfort. The heart of any home is its kitchen, and this one was a culinary dream come true. It boasted top-notch appliances, a wide array of dishes, pots, and pans, and a generous selection of spices that made cooking a delight. The kitchen quickly became the heart of our stay, allowing us to whip up delicious meals and create lasting memories. What truly sets this property apart is its versatility. With ample gathering spaces and cozy corners, "Old Vic" accommodated every mood and preference. Whether we wanted to come together for lively conversations or enjoy some quiet alone time, the house had us covered. The front porch was a personal favorite, offering a cozy spot to savor morning coffee while watching the sunrise or to unwind with a cocktail as we soaked in breathtaking sunsets. The third-floor honeymoon room was a true gem. The panoramic view was simply stunning, the bed was incredibly comfortable, and the quality of the linens made us feel pampered. It was the perfect escape w
