Clean, comfortable and in a great central location for exploring the Keweenaw penninsula.
It's my fifth time renting here and it's always excellent. It's homey and right off of the highway so it's easy to get to Houghton or any other town you may want to visit
D’s Base Camp caters more to adventurers, whilst we simply needed a reasonably priced place to stay overnight for college move-in weekend. With that said, you really can’t go wrong with multiple rooms, bathrooms, and kitchen. Will be looking to stay here again the next time we’re in town.
Everything was clean. They were very friendly and not bothersome at all. The space was awesome and loved having a full kitchen. Plenty of room for all of us.
The cabin was very clean and had a good kitchen area and comfortable seating in common area. The 3 bedrooms were also very nice and beds were comfortable. Plenty of room for parking as well. Would stay here again.
The facility was well set up and well priced. Primary complaint being that the instructions for the WiFi were not up to date in the book, other than that I would absolutely consider staying again
The rental was just as described - well appointed, spacious and comfortable. Loved have two full bathrooms and so much space! Thank you for a great visit!
We really enjoyed D'Bar! Perfect place to sprawl out and relax. We really enjoyed our stay. Especially nice that they had a full kitchen and dining area where we could cook our own meals. Close to Houghton and only an hour from Copper Harbor. Loved it all.
