About this property
Picturesque cottage on Portage Lake w/ sauna & dock . No cleaning fee.!!
A newly refurbished 3 bedroom cottage on Portage Lake ~ 6 miles from Houghton, Michigan Technological University, Finlandia University, and the Isle Royale National Park Office and boat dock. All linens and towels supplied, and the kitchen is well-equipped for whatever meals are desired. A gas grill is located on the deck off the kitchen for a BBQ or picnic on the patio or by the lake.
Enjoy the sunrise while having coffee in bed, sunbathe on the dock after taking a "refreshing" swim in the lake, or catch some fish for dinner (fishing poles available..!!). In the evening have 'happy hour' on the lakeside deck, enjoy an evening coffee or glass of wine in the screened-in porch, or sit by the fire in the fire pit after a warm sauna..!!
Walk or ride (bicycles available) on the Houghton to Chassell non-motorized recreational trail behind the cottage. Movies, games, and puzzles are also available in case of rainy days.
Bottom line: a great place for a romantic getaway, for a family outing, or to just relax..!!
