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 143+ year old Victorian Mansion back into the monarch of Quincy Hill it once was.

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.

- "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!"

- "Everything about our stay was wonderful." - "This was by far the best place we have stayed in the area. We come up every year to visit family and this year we had an extra visitor with us, as we brought our toddler for his first visit. We knew we needed something spacious and private. This was both and beyond. The place was so clean and cozy on top of it. The ammenities were over and above. We wish we had a longer stay so we could enjoy more of what the property had to offer. Kudos for offering a toddler swing, we found time to use it for a moment inbetween family events. We hope to be back! Highly recommend this property for families!"

- "Awesome place to stay! Great Location!" - "we stayed for several days to move our son up to Mich Tech and explored the area. Home was clean and beautifully furnished. Everyone found the beds comfortable, even the Murphy bed - memory foam as listed was very appreciated. We appreciated all the nice little touches, having a few little thoughtful snacks and the detergent pods. We enjoyed sitting in the back enclosed porch. Also enjoyed the coffee selection and I especially appreciated the coffee creamer in the fridge. Location is convenient to Houghton/Hancock yet is quiet. The double wide driveway very easy to park in. We would definitely stay there again!!!"

We really liked the box lights for added light effects and the bed was very comfortable too. Nice shower and layout. Easy access to downtown. Parking was never a problem for us.
