This was the perfect home in every way for us! The location for where we wanted to roam was just right. Loved sitting on the back porch and watching the beautiful lake. Beds were very comfortable and the home was clean and had everything we needed. Plenty of parking space for our truck and trailer and a bonus for the use of the garage for our motorcycles. Wonderful home and vacation!
Beautiful location that was a cozy place to stay. Host was easy to contact and very helpful and welcoming. Lots to do in the area with a short drive to MTU and Mt. Ripley for skiing and tubing.
The views of lake from porch or dock were great. The location was great for a relaxing getaway and 5 miles from Dollar Bay and another 5 into Houghton for stores and restaurants Shelly is easy to work with and quick to respond to any questions
The cabin was very homey, in a beautiful setting, and the host was very helpful and welcoming. We were impressed with the welcome basket and hand written note. Communication was excellent and the check in process was easy. The house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. It was the perfect place to stay for our son’s graduation from Michigan Tech!
Everything was absolutely perfect! The picturesque cabin offered stunning views of the lake, and the sauna and hot tub were a great way to relax. It’s only a 15-minute drive to downtown Houghton, but the cabin is very secluded, making it a perfect getaway. My family and I will definitely be back in the near future!
The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind - they truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We were welcomed with a thoughtful treat basket, and the house itself had every amenity you could think of. The location was absolutely picturesque, and we even got to enjoy some local wildlife. It was such a peaceful, restorative trip all around. 12/10 would recommend and can’t wait to visit again!

We stayed here for our snowmobiling trip to the UP. This log cabin is beautiful with all the amenities. It is on the lake. The hosts are very gracious, nice people and made themselves available if we needed to contact them for anything. They have very clear instructions within the cabin and the email communication to the point of our stay, and communication as needed throughout was perfect. I highly recommend staying at this cabin if you're in the area for any vacation, winter or summer. Fabulous.
Awesome stay!We had an amazing stay at Calm Waters Cabin during our snowmobiling trip to the Keweenaw Peninsula. The cabin was the perfect home base for our trip. After long days out on the trails, it was exactly what we needed to come back to and relax.The location is fantastic for snowmobiling, with easy access to trails and plenty of space for gear. The cabin itself was comfortable, spacious, and stocked with everything you could need. We especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful it was.Shelly was a wonderful host—she helped with our travel plans and made the entire stay smooth and easy. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Calm Waters Cabin for a winter getaway or snowmobiling trip.
The location was perfect for respite from the hustle and bustle of city life and it was only about a 15 min drive into Hougton and Mt Ripley and about an hour (even with snowy weather and slick roads) drive to Mt Bohemia.Shelly was quick to respond when we had questions and couldn't start the fireplaced. She even had her son come out to fix it for us within a couple hours!The cabin was cozy and equipped with extra blankets, all the cooking utensils we needed to make dinners.The dry sauna was a perfect was the end a busy day of snowshoeing and skiing.
This was a beautiful home on the water. It was too late in the season to enjoy the kayaks and boat, but we enjoyed the wonderful location and being able to visit our child at MTU.
Everything about this property is a 10! From our initial contact with the host to the easy check out process was exceptional. The cabin is very clean, cozy, and full of everything you need. We will miss the scenic and relaxing view of the water from the porch while having our morning coffee and evening glass of wine! The kids made good use of the variety of water toys, too! Thank you to our hosts for a wonderful weekend!
