The house was immaculate with all you could ask for in a stay which exceeded my expectations and felt like home!. Pictures do not do this place justice. I'd stay here again and recommend to others looking in this area. Prompt feedback from the host who answered my questions. Beautiful views of the lake with gorgeous sunsets! Just a quick drive to Hancock/Houghton area.
Lovely cabin with plenty of space. Stocked with everything you could need for a few nights on the lake! Beds are comfy. Cabin is meticulously and very well maintained! Hosts were amazing!
It was very comfortable. The view of the lake and sunset were awesome. We even got to enjoy the Northern Lights.

This home was a little gem for our family, it offered the perfect get away. It was quiet, beautiful sunsets. Our kids loved fishing of the doc. The location was great! The hosts were sweet and easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to next summer already.
Toured Houghton to Eagle River to Cooper Harbor and places in between. This home on the lake was the perfect place to stay while enjoying the fall colors.
Beautiful home on a beautiful lake. The kitchen is large with lots of counter space. The bathroom is also spacious, especially that walk in shower! All the beds were comfy too. There is a very nice secluded beach only a short drive away (White City).
We stayed here during the fall color tour that we as a family of 3 take every year to the U.P. This place is awesome! It’s cozy, clean and it really was a home away from home.The drive around the lake may take a little time, but relax and enjoy the scenery because this place is worth it.
Inside of the cabin was beautiful and spacious. Everything we needed was there. Really enjoyed kayaking. Wish they would have been more communicative, they did not reach out until the day before our stay which made me nervous
peaceful, quiet, enjoyed meals and downtime on the fantastic deck. Sunsets are beautiful and tranquil. Appreciated use of the kayaks. Property is well taken care of and clean. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and using it as a basecamp to explore other areas of the Peninsula. We will be back.
We’ve stayed at many rentals over the years while visiting our daughter at MTU, and this one is definitely at the top of our list. The home sits right on the Portage with a large dock and deck—perfect for enjoying the peaceful setting and beautiful sunset views. We saw all kinds of wildlife during our stay, including waterfowl, deer, and even a bear that crossed the road a few miles from the house!Inside, the home was spotless and very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and modern with a clean, tiled walk-in shower and more than enough towels. I really appreciated the thoughtful extras you don’t always find in other rentals—coffee and hot chocolate pods for the Keurig, plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, and even access to cleaning supplies. The washer and dryer were also a great bonus.You can tell the owners truly care about this home. They've created a welcoming, well-stocked, and worry-free space to relax. We’d definitely stay here again!
We recently stayed in this beautiful waterfront cabin, and it was the perfect escape! The sunsets over the lake were absolutely breathtaking, and we loved spending our days playing in the water. The cabin was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances for cooking and dining, and the bathroom was stocked with fresh towels and had hot water, which was a nice plus.
The only minor drawback was the bedroom air conditioner, which was a bit noisy at night. It didn’t detract too much from our experience, but it could definitely use some attention. Additionally, having a backup power generator would be a great addition.
Overall, it was a peaceful and relaxing stay, and we would definitely consider returning!
We enjoyed our stay and the Location was excellent for our sightseeing day trips. The home was perfect for our needs and was handicapped accessible. Laundry facilities were excellent. Beautiful sunsets! Close to the boat launch as we brought our boat. Easy access. Timm and Becky were absolutely GREAT hosts. Timm was more than willing to help us out with boat/dock issues. Hope to return in 2026!
This place was amazing! Highly recomend. The pictures do not do the property justice. So nice and clean and the views are stellar. They had all the extras like bug spray and beach towels. 10 stars.
