Waterfront Living

Great cabin for the week. Loved the water and ability to bring our dog - she lived her best life.

Beautiful location that needs work

The location in relationship to Houghton was perfect. Not too far out but not downtown. We came to visit out daughter at Michigan Tech and stayed the weekend. The property on the water was beautiful and peaceful. A great get away that allowed us to visit and take in the views. The accommodations left a bit to be desired. The cabin seemed hastily finished: trim was missing. Wires coming out of the wall, miss-matched carpeting in the bedroom, unfinished floors in the other two. Some safety issues that bothered me were nails sticking up from the wooden dock patio. The step down onto the dock. No batteries in a smoke detector and the other one was disconnected. (This may have not been the owner's fault due to tenants cooking, but they should be checked periodically.) there was no hot water in the kitchen which made it difficult to really get the dishes clean. It left me to wonder how clean the previous tenant left them with no dishwasher. If you are looking for a place to crash, this would fit the bill. It's clean and not terrible. Slightly over priced for what you get but we will probably look elsewhere next time we come up to visit.

Beautiful canal view

A very cozy clean spacious spot. Easy access and the view of the canal was beautiful. Just minutes from Houghton.

Short trip to the keweenaw

The cabin was as advertised. Very convenient to houghton, the keweenaw, and the porkies. We hadn’t been up to the area in years but this short getaway was perfect. As dog owners we appreciated the lack of carpeting and nice yard overlooking the canal.

Quaint Cabin

Cabin on the portage along with 2 others on the property. Shared dock, grill and picnic table. Easy pull through driveway to load and unload ATVs with other people and able to park on the road. Beautiful shoreline and very close to the water. Host was great and accommodating. Close to Houghton about 10 min drive to visit our son at MTU.

Grew up in the U.P., love to travel myself, I have managed a local power sports business since 2004 and have had rental properties since 2002.

Why they chose this property

This property is located on a beautiful calm part of the Portage Canal and just a few miles from down town Houghton and MTU, it's peaceful yet close enough to town in case you need something. A short drive out the breakers(lake superior) to take in some of the best sunsets in the world.
