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.

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!

Cozy Cabin
We stayed for a week and had a wonderful time. The name Cozy Cabin fits it perfectly. The cabin was clean and the beds were great. The cabin had all the amenities you could think of and being on the lake was great. Would definitely stay here again.
