The cabin is about 7 minutes east of Hancock and conveniently located near Michigan Tech University, Finlandia University, shopping, sightseeing, events, festivals, historical buildings, museums, and outstanding outdoor recreation.

Cozy Cabin has an open concept living area with a nice view of the Portage Canal. The living area has a log interior with comfortable furnishings, a gas fireplace, and a 32" flat screen TV with VCR & DVD players. The complete kitchen has full size appliances, a microwave, toaster, coffee maker, Keurig, waffle maker and a dishwasher.

There are three bedrooms. One bedroom on the main floor has a king-size bed and two bedrooms are on the lower level each with queen size bed. There is a ladder leading up to the loft that is furnished with two twin beds. There is Restonic bedding in every bedroom. The Cozy Cabin will comfortably sleep up to 6 guests.

Try your luck fishing, or enjoy boating and sightseeing on the Portage Canal. A 12' aluminum fishing boat and a paddle boat is included in the rental. Life preservers are located in the bunk house by the water's edge. Wave runners and jet boats are available for rent in the area for some fun on the water.

Cozy Cabin is conveniently located near all the interesting attractions and recreational opportunities the Houghton & Hancock Area has to offer.

Cozy Cabin is only 1/4 mile from the ATV and snowmobile trails that lead throughout the Keweenaw and connect to the Bill Nichols trail south to the Ontonagon area. ATVs and snowmobiles can be rented nearby.

The Keweenaw Peninsula has some of the finest and most brilliant fall colors in the Midwest with breathtaking views around every corner. Don't forget your camera.

While vacationing at Cozy Cabin, you can enjoy day trips around the Keweenaw Peninsula where you might like to visit historic sites, copper mines, and view the beautiful scenery in the area.

Downhill skiers and snowboarders will find Mount Ripley just a few minutes from the cabin and cross-country skiers will have lots of fun on the Michigan Tech Trails or the Swedetown Trails in Calumet.

Beautiful Cozy Cabin

This waterfront cozy cabin is very well furnished with everything you need and we liked its spirit ! The place is very nice and with a lot of wildlife around! The airport is 20mn driving and Hancock and Houghton are even closer. Definitely a good location to visit beautiful Keweenaw county with friends or family! Thank you Arthur and Marlene for welcoming us in your beautiful home!

Lovely Cabin; Great Location!

This spacious cabin on Torch Bay was the perfect home-base location for us for a week of exploring Keweenaw, Houghton, and Baraga counties! It is conveniently located near M-26 and provided easy access to everything. The cabin was roomy, clean, and well-stocked with extras for guests. The back porch, with a view of the water, was a wonderful place to sit with a cup of coffee in the morning, and we enjoyed having a bonfire out near the water. We would stay here again and highly recommend!

Very Happy

We booked the stay with the understanding that we would be fishing. Although the fishing was a little slow, mostly because of the weather, everything worked out well. We could easily dock 2 fishing boats. The cabin was excellent and had everything we need.

Unpleasant stay

The cabin continually had a bunch of bad amells (dank and musty in basement-one of my kids ended up on the couch to avoid), random sewage smells in bathroom despite us following directions on note on shower to put cap over shower drain to prevent, weird smell in kitchen. We ended up putting air fresheners all over to combat smells. No use of laundry facilities. Also can't use heat setting on dishwasher or water dispenser on old, dirty fridge. Furniture and appliances old. Only redeeming features are board games, large master, and nice lake view.

Better than advertised

The Cozy Cabin is quite large, but feels... well, cozy! It enjoys beautiful surroundings and plenty of privacy, but I'd still just minutes from Hancock and Houghton. Would definitely stay there again.

Fishing Portage/Torch Lake

We found Cozy Cabin while looking for a lodging on Portage Lake with fishing being our primary interest. What a great find! It was centrally located with sheltered dockage suitable for 2 - 18 foot fishing boats. And the accommodations were great. The description and photos used in the listing are highly accurate. There were no surprises for us on this trip and would consider using Cozy Cabin in the future.
