Family snowmobile trip
The house was clean warm and comfortable. Nice bedding and plush towels. The kitchen had everything we needed. The front and back porch area were nice to hang and store gear. There are 2 driveways that were well plowed out with room to easily park a truck and 30 ft trailer, a truck and 10 ft trailer and 7 snowmobiles. It snowed everyday and each day a tractor and loader came and removed the pile of snow left by the snowplow at the end of the driveway which was really great. Very close to trails, gas and groceries. Sandy was quick to respond to questions we had. Sandy set up and extra roll away bed for us and our family of 7 was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend the Penny House for your stay.

Ski and Snowboarding Porkies
We enjoyed our stay and the home was very clean, comfy and cozy! This was our second time staying here and love the central location between Snow River, Powderhorn, and Porkies. Also having the grocery store just around the corner makes it very convenient for those couple of food items we forgot to pack. We will be back again!

Very clean house. Accurately described. Being able to use the garage to park the snowmobiles was helpful. Someone plowed the driveways in a timely manor. Only down fall was the busy road and backing in the snowmobile trailer.

a cute little home
Very clean, very homey home. Everything we needed was right there at our fingertips. We enjoyed our stay at the Penney House. I think the only thing that would have made this home a perfect getaway for us would have been a different location -being on a busy highway. I would love to pluck it from its location and put it out in the country but that is impossible. Otherwise it was a very nice stay.

Family Vacation
We stayed at the house for one week with our 4 kids, ranging in ages 7-15. The house was very clean and bright. We had a fabulous time. The location is perfect with a gas station and grocery nice and close. Bruce Crossing was central to everything we wanted to do on vacation (Porcupine Mountains, Pictured Rocks Lakeshore, Keweenaw Peninsula). There are also a couple waterfalls with some hiking close by! If there’s anything I would add it would maybe be a air conditioned window unit upstairs but we made do. I would recommend this place to my family and friends and if we come back would stay again!

Base camp
We used this property as a base camp while seeking out waterfalls in the U.P.. It served its purpose. Clean and everything worked. The garage as an option seems nice but we never went in there as we had no need to. All information was provided through email and no issues came up that we needed to contact property management/owners. The shower is a bit small but I’m a big guy at 6’1 250+ lbs and I was able to fit. My kids had no issues either. I am happy the way everything worked out and anything I didn’t get accomplished is on me. Went way better than our last trip up North.

Waterfall Adventure!!
Sandy!! We cannot thank you enough for sharing your home with us for our “Waterfall Adventure”!! Your home’s accommodations were unmatched from the cleanliness, to the cozy decorations and extras you provided…the kiddos loved the fruit snacks and rice crispy treats! This location was perfect for exploring the west side waterfalls and beautiful scenery! We were able to visit 27 waterfalls during our 5 day stay! Thank you again for an incredible week of memories made!
