Close to family

The house was right across the street from my aunt and just a couple streets from my cousins. That made it very convenient. Gave us privacy when needed. It was nice to have the garage for our truck and side by side. Everything was so clean that I could walk around in my bare feet and they stayed clean. I loved that I didn’t have to clean when we got there because it was spotless.

Amazing stay!

We had an amazing 3 nights! The property was the best appointed place we have ever stayed at! Every need was covered. The place was amazingly clean and comfortable. It truly was like a visit to your grandparents home. Communication was excellent. We would highly recommend this place and will book again when we make our way to the Upper Peninsula again. Truly a pleasure!

Just like home in Rockland Michigan

My husband and I were attending the Michigan Cares for Tourism volunteer event in the Porcupine Mountains. We came a day early and stayed a day later. When I walking into this adorable, quaint house, I felt like I stepped back into my childhood. It immediately felt like home. We absolutely loved the nostalgia and all of the woodwork!!! I seriously did not want to leave. This home had everything you need and more. I loved everything right down to the vintage dishes! We loved everything about this home. The house was absolutely squeaky clean!! Tina was wonderful! She was there when ever we needed anything. She was so very helpful in every aspect of our stay and she is so fun to talk to. Tina is a wealth of information, and we loved the store!!! This was my husbands and I's 25th anniversary get away. We have never been to this area but I can tell you, we will be back. The home is centrally located on the east side of the UP and there is so much to do all around. We didn't realize that two major waterfalls are within a half hour of the house. Agate and Bond waterfalls are a must see, absolutely breath taking and so very accessible for up close views and great hiking. Porcupine Mountains State Park is about 40 minutes away and WOW there is so much to see and do there, including Lake of the Clouds. An absolute must see! Thank you for sharing your home and everything beautiful inside. I took many amazing inside photos and I am happy to share if your interested.

Grandma Nina's is the perfect choice!

We truly felt at home. Everything was very comfortable. Tina, the manager and Pat, the owner were so kind and helpful. Always there to answer any question. We have been staying in the area for our summer vacation for almost 16 years. This is our first time to rent a home and Grandma Nina's was the perfect choice!

Cozy!

This place was perfect for what my family needed. We stayed for 7 nights. Has everything you will need. The location is just a short drive to a lot of attractions, as well. Tina, that owns the Rockland Depot right next to the house was amazing. She made sure if we did need anything, she would get it. We would definitely rent this house again!!!

Amazing

This place just keeps on giving there is so much history here it’s amazing to see a place that is kept up as this one is. The town is quiet and relaxing. Everything is a short drive away. I will continue to stay here when I go snowmobiling and when I come up in the summer.

Great location

We went to get away, be in nature and be a family. The house was perfect for it. Being winter still we were able to find place for snow shoeing close by. Having Tine next door with her store was very nice and convenient. Would definitely go back!

Quaint historic property with all original woodwork and wood floors.

Loved all the nostalgic stuff in the house!! Two porches. Good size bath with nice very large walk in shower. Super clean!! Laundry on site was an added bonus. Not gonna lie, it was hard for my hubby and I to sleep in a full size bed. Lol. We would definitely stay there again! The property manager Tina is a gem. She was so helpful. Great location for the porcupine mountains, the keewenaw and lake superior.

So Clean!

This house was spotless! It was also stocked with anything you needed. It is a very well taken care of, 50's retro home. Everything was in such nice shape and very homey feeling. Its like you walk back into the 50's in a really neat way. We loved it! We'll definitely be back again!
