The property was very clean and beautiful. We were able to cook often during our week stay. We found areas to hike nearby and walked in the downtown area. Thank you for allowing us to enjoy your beautiful spot.

Just perfect for us and our pup

We were on the go for much of our week in the U.P., and this was a great place to land at the end of each day. Accommodations were just right - everything we needed, nothing we didn’t, and a terrific location. Our pup loved morning and evening walks on the trails, the lake was lovely, and during a warm week, Fred and Maria were thoughtful about making sure things were cool and comfortable. We’re looking forward to going back.

We really enjoyed the space and found it to be clean, well stocked, and spacious. There is a community park that is walkable from the location which was great for our dog. It is on a main street so you do hear traffic. I will note that the AC didn't seem to be working properly but there was a floor unit and fans available. I don't think that should take away from the rating of the property though, they were obviously accommodating the best they could. I would stay definitely stay again.

Wonderful accommodations

We’ve stayed at numerous VRBO rentals over the years. This place in Chassell was perfect for our 45th Anniversary trip up to the Keweenaw. It is a super clean home. It has everything we needed and more. It’s in a perfectly safe neighborhood. The town of Chassell is small but very nice. It’s close to Houghton and the Quincy Mine which had rock shows we came here for. The backyard and deck area was perfect for our 2 small yorkies we brought with us. The air conditioning worked great as well as the furnace. Both used on our one week vacation in August! It seems like it’s brand new inside. The bed was comfortable. Again there was everything you might need and more. Communications with the owner was great too. There’s only enough room sleeping wise for 2 or 3 people. But I wouldn’t hesitate to book this home again for our next trip if going to the Keweenaw. We even got to see the Northern Lights from the deck out back. My first time ever seeing them and I’m in my 60s. Definitely was a highlight. A wonderful home.

About the host

Hosted by Frederick Jaehnig

Maria and I each served in the Air & Space Forces for over 20 years and we started Copper County Vacation Rentals with the main goal of providing our guests with clean, comfortable and relaxing adventures. As we return to the Keweenaw full-time we will continue to provide amazing lodging, but we will also look to enhance our experience packages.

Due to our military background we believe in 100% transparency and renting a home from a stranger can be intimidating. We are absolutely certain you will love staying with us and we encourage you to check out our numerous reviews online to make sure that is the case!

Why they chose this property

If you are looking to visit your Tech student, you will not find a better and more economical place to stay! If you are looking for eco tourism, Chassell has many things to offer from a kayak launch, and a skating rink, to ski/snowshoe trails, a boat launch, swimming beach and amazing fishing all year round!

What makes this property unique

*Accidental Damage Protection - We know accidents happen and all bookings include a complimentary $3000 damage protection policy to cover the property and to help provide you peace of mind throughout your stay.
