Stay overnight reveling in luxury just like copper baron Thomas Hoatson Jr., who built this mansion in 1906.

Laurium Manor is lucky, because after falling on hard times and being stripped and mostly ruined, restorers Julia and David Sprenger bought it in 1989 and lovingly coaxed it back into a fine 10-room inn.

You might feel as if the parlor and dining room are gloomy, but that's because the place has been meticulously restored to its 1908 feel, including dim matte wall coverings, draperies and furniture. The bedrooms are brighter.

You can take a tour of the 45-room mansion even if you don't stay there. I recommend spending the night -- I liked the Allouez room. (Rooms $79 per night and up, www.laurium.info, 906-337-2549. A self-guided tour is $6.)
