Loved this cottage. Right on the lake, beautiful views, fantastic location! Owner, Randy responded immediately when we needed him. I would give 10 stars if I could! House has everything you could need. There are kayaks and paddle board to use. The lake is shallow for a ways out, perfect for small children. We would definitely stay here again (and again, and again).
The bike trail into Houghton from the house was a big selling point for us. Great to be able to wake up and ride 25 minutes down to a ton of good breakfast spots. Portage lake is nice. The daugher loved playing in the water. There is a small beach 10 minutes down the bike trail.
My husband and I werent actually able to keep our reservation due to my mother-in-law dying. Randy was easy to notify and his compassion was outstanding. We were incredibly disappointed but we are hoping to be able to go at another time.
Nice place, clean and homey! Amazing location and views feom the deck. Even though the owners are on the same property they are really noninvasive. If you have queationa, they are quick to respond.
We stayed here for out granddaughters graduation from Tech. It was much closer to Houghton than what was said in the listing so that was a nice surprise. The cabin was clean and comfortable and met our needs nicely. Only drawback was that it wasn't overly warm outside so not their fault.
Great location for visiting MTU. Cute well furnished cabin. The host was very good at communicating and very welcoming. We really enjoyed our time here.
We had a wonderful stay at the cabin. The cabin was very clean and well stocked with everything we needed. The layout gives you plenty of space. The lake front property is awesome, and you are only a few minutes away from town. We would definitely stay again.
The cottage was excellent, very clean and great location. With being close to Houghton a lot of different options for dining out. With this being our first time to the up to snowmobile it was ok.Some trails good and some not rideable at all.Overall we would still return.
Purchased this property because of the beautiful views of Portage Lake. Moved from the area after graduating from MTU and decided this would be place to raise my family.
Lived in this cottage for years before building my permanent home on the same property. The views of the lake--whether its early morning sunrises or watching the every changing colors turn into night are breathtaking. Very serene and peaceful.
