    Dad’s garage was AMAZING! Everything we needed and more for a stay away from home. The electric fireplace was so comfy to create a peaceful ambiance. The spacious kitchen to cook/eat in. Quiet neighborhood. It was close to good places to eat and shop. We travel frequently and this is a new favorite that we will visit again. Even the little things (the hand soaps smelled wonderful) were perfect! Highly recommend!!

    Dad’s Garage proved to be an amazing base for our winter get-away in Upper Michigan. Ten minutes (or less) to everything - Wolverine XC Ski Trails, ABR Foundation, Big Powderhorn - and even an impromptu drive to Lake Superior! Lori has thought of every detail to make Dad’s Garage perfect, from towels (and hooks) in the bathroom and near the sauna, cozy throws and an instant electric fireplace, to fun “service station” decor and a well stocked kitchen. This place is perfect in every way. Thank you, Lori, for excellent communications, five-star comfort and pristine accommodations! We’d highly recommend Dad’s Garage to anyone visiting the area!

    We took a three day stay at Dad's Garage at the end of an extensive trip in the west. It was a great way to settle down after many days of driving. We really enjoyed the house and were very happy with all of the amenities. We did our own cooking and found everything that we needed to do that. We needed rest and the beds were great. We needed to do some laundry and the washer and dryer were great. Something extra was needed and the sauna fit the bill for me. The location was great. Ironwood is a cool town and we were able to get to Copper Peak (the ski jump) and take a day to go up the Keweenaw Penisula. I hope we get the opporunity to go back sometime and stay again.

    This little house is so well thought out that you do not notice its cozy size. The photos are very accurate--the sofa is large, the kitchen is top of the line, the sauna provides a wonderful wood smell as you enter even if you don't use it! The TV is large, the fireplace homey. And everything is provided, including condiments, coffee and sugar, large washer and dryer, a copy machine even! We went for spring skiing and really loved the entry room/drop zone for all our gear. The beds were comfortable. It was incredibly clean. If I had to say anything, it'd be that it has only one small bathroom, so I'm not sure that had our friends been able to join us we could have had problems there. But for the 2 of us, it was perfect. We can't vouch for the outside since it was still buried in snow, but the house itself just could not be any nicer. We were even able to walk to town for the Brewery, and then breakfast. Lori was very responsive, and offered great tips for places to eat. When in Ironwood, THIS is the place to stay.

    Dad's Garage was perfect for our weekend ski trip to Ironwood over President's Day Weekend 2025. Lori was great to work with, and promptly responded to us whenever we contacted her. For example, after a very cold day on the slopes, we asked for the sauna to be turned on a bit early so we could warm up when we got off the hill. It was so nice to come back and Apres' Ski in the Sauna. It was also great to be able to park our car in the garage as it snowed all weekend. We will definitely stay in Dad's Garage again the next time we visit Ironwood.
