Your suite's attached living room has cozy seating, a 50" smart TV with access to all the channels, small refrigerator, microwave, coffee station, walk in closet and roll-away bed available at no charge. Enjoy the views atop Quincy Hill from this 140+ year old landmark.

Our private driveway is large with plenty of free parking and turn around space for trucks with trailers.

Quincy House, completed in 1882 is an Italianate Victorian mansion built by Quincy Mining Company to prominently house its highest ranking area official, the Mine Agent. It is the last standing mining company agent's house among the many mines that once exploited the area for copper. Built more lavishly than other mine company structures, it served as a social center during the copper mine boom. Quincy House is currently undergoing restoration and preservation. You're staying in the private, newly restored rear section of the house. We reside in the separate but connected front section that is under restoration. Both sections are closed off from each other and you will not be disturbed by construction during your stay. Your privacy and comfort is our utmost concern. We are happy to give guests tours and talk about the history upon request.

Quincy House has, is and will be undergoing restoration and preservation for years to come. In no way will this negatively effect your stay. In fact you will be able to witness how we are transforming and restoring this famous 140+ year old local relic back into the monarch of Quincy Hill it once represented.

In addition, your stay will benefit the house as all proceeds we receive from your visit are put directly into the Quincy House Preservation Foundation, a 501c3 charitable nonprofit organization formed and operated by us to restore and sustain the house now and for the future as a valuable historic educational interpretation of Copper Country history.

Perfect location

We loved the Quincy House and appreciated how welcome we felt. The hosts are in the process of remodeling this old mansion and it was so interesting to hear the history. of the house and the vision they have to restore it. It was close to MTU and a great home base for all things in the Keweenaw.

Charming

The owners have a vision of what they want this lovely estate to entail. The maid's quarter, is the first to open in their vision. It is cozy and has everything you need for a very comfortable stay. The town is loaded with history, has many restaurants to choose from and lots of things to do from hiking to touring the Quincy Mine to a beautiful drive up to Cooper Harbor and Eagle Harbor. The owners are welcoming and leave you wanting to come back to watch their progress on the Quincy House. Definitely a Diamond in the Rough.

Truly a Hidden Gem!

At first glance the house might be something you’d pass by but upon driving up on the property, and stepping inside you’ll find this stay has more than what just meets the eye. Our stay was absolutely amazing! The room has been impeccably renovated and has everything you’d need for your stay, walking in and feeling so welcomed by not only the hosts but the room itself was a blessing after our long drive. The attention to detail in the room and the hospitality was so refreshing, and honestly a million times better than staying at a hotel. Our hosts responded very fast if we needed absolutely anything, showed us around the grounds, and were again more than welcoming I promise if you stay with these hosts and their amazing stay… you’ll never want to stay in a hotel again. Will be booking again!

About the host

Hosted by DAVID BOSSERT

Host profile image
Hi! We're David & Zach and we purchased this property as our home and life's project in 2021. We are only the 3rd titled owners of the house in its 140+ year history. The 3+ acre property includes the 10,000 square foot Quincy House along with its carriage house/barn with original horse stalls and 2-car garage built in the 1910s. The house came with a multitude of needed updating, mainly cosmetics, and restoring the house is an ongoing labor of love. We have formed the Quincy House Preservation Foundation, a 501c3 public charitable non-profit, to aid the process of preserving the house's place as historical interpretation of the area's copper mining contributions that helped economic booms both locally and nationally. All proceeds from your vacation rental stay are put back into the non-profit to further preservation efforts of the house.

Why they chose this property

The Keweenaw Peninsula lies within the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and is home of rich mining history, 4 season outdoor sports including boating, fishing, skiing and off-roading on ATV's during the warm months and snowmobiling in the cold months. Lake Superior and countless inland lakes provide endless possibilities along with wildlife and bird watching, Northern Lights spotting and fall colors rivaling the famous fall colors of the east coast. The pristine natural beauty and abundant forests and wildlife make the Keweenaw and Copper Country a popular, yet uncrowded, vacation destination.

What makes this property unique

Quincy House, located on Quincy Hill in Hancock adjacent to the Quincy Mine and along executive row, was completed in 1882 and built by Quincy Mining Company to house it's leading area executive, the Agent (aka Superintendent). Mr. Charles Lawton was Quincy Mine's longtime agent and was given the house in lieu of back pay in 1939 as the mine was ceasing operations. After his passing in 1946, his widow Grace lived in the house with the help of a maid and gardener until her death in 1971. The house then sold to Charles and Angela Anderson who maintained the property in large part as student rental rooms for MTU graduate students. In 2021, after nearly 50 years of ownership, they sold to David Bossert and Zachary Nick who aim to restore the preserve the house as close to it's original Victorian style and purpose as possible.
