Lake Access Cabin with Hot Tub, Trail Access, Sauna – Across the lake from MTU
✦ Cabin #2 at Keweenaw Waterway Cabins ✦
Lake access • Trailside adventure • Shared hot tub & sauna • Across from MTU
Welcome to Cabin #2 — one of five cozy cabins at Keweenaw Waterway Cabins in Hancock, MI. Whether you're looking to ride the trails, enjoy time on the water, or explore the Keweenaw, this is the perfect base for year-round fun.
We’re located just steps from DB Motorsports and right next to the snowmobile/ATV/recreation trail. Mont Ripley Ski Area is just a half mile away, and Mount Bohemia is about an hour’s drive. In the summer, DB Motorsports offers pontoon and jet ski rentals. In the winter, snowmobile rentals are available — and you can hop on the trail directly from the property.
Cabin #2 is connected side-by-side with Cabin #1 (no interior door between them), making it a great option for groups or families booking both. While Cabin #2 also faces the road, you’ll have full access to all shared lakefront amenities, just a short walk away:
✦ Communal hot tub and sauna
✦ Game room with indoor fun for all ages
✦ Free-use kayaks and bikes (seasonal)
✦ Welcome to share our beachfront on Portage Lake
✦ Gas grill (available on request), Firepit, and picnic tables by the water
✦ Plenty of parking
✦ Perfect spot for stargazing on the lakefront
✦ Just minutes from shopping, dining, and local restaurants in Hancock
This is a social property — not remote or secluded — and it's common for guests in different cabins to strike up conversation and share in the lakeside atmosphere.
We (hosts) live on the property in a separate building (no shared spaces), and while we fully respect your privacy, we’re always happy to chat, answer questions, or share local tips if you feel like saying hello!
A rental agreement must be e-signed after booking, which outlines the rules and terms, and is required for our insurance.
It will be sent after your reservation is confirmed. Please check your email/messages for the link after booking.
-No commercial activities, illegal activities, or subletting are allowed.
-The number of guests must match the reservation. This can be changed up until the day of check-in.
-No visitors without approval—only registered guests may access the property.
-Pets are strictly prohibited—no exceptions. This includes emotional support animals (Incurs a $500 fine).
-No smoking or vaping indoors. Smoking and vaping are allowed outdoors, but guests must clean up after themselves. Cannabis use is prohibited anywhere on the property.
-Late check-outs without prior approval may result in a charge of $35 per hour, as cleaning schedules must be maintained for incoming guests.
-ATV's & Snowmobiles: Guests must not ride on neighboring private property and should go directly to and from the trails. We value maintaining a good relationship with our neighbors, and guests are expected to respect their property and privacy.
-No Loud music or noises- respect the neighbors.
-No refunds for appliance, hot tub, sauna, or game failures (if applicable). No refunds for internet or power outages.
-Violation of these terms may result in eviction without refund and/or fines.
-A rental agreement must be signed within 24 hours of booking. A link to e-sign the agreement will be sent via message after your reservation is confirmed. Failure to sign the rental agreement may result in cancellation of your booking.
