We love the Cottage on Portage Lake! Itâs everything we wanted. The cottage is cozy and our grandkids had a lot of fun! The location is perfect for us, close to family, Houghton and the beautiful lake! Our host responded immediately and has been very accommodating.
The cabin was wonderful. We spoke to the property owner in the yard, and he was very nice and welcomingWe will be back when the weather is warmer so we can enjoy the great deck.
Wonderful stay, welcoming hosts, and beautiful views. The pictures donât even begin to give this cottage justice. Will definitely be back. Great central location to many UP attractions.

This a such a charming and delightful cabin right on Portage Lake. We enjoyed staying there so much. The property is gorgeous and there is a really cool walking/biking trail that used to be train tracks between Chassell and Houghton. We loved Houghton. An amazing place to stay!
The cottage was very comfortable and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. I would recommend minor improvements for us older folks like a higher toilet and/or grab bars for safety. We had a bit of difficulty locating the entry road especially when traveling from the north and had to turn around on several occasions. The main living area is nicely decorated. The bed was very comfortable. Lake access is a bit challenging as the shoreline has concrete blocks from a previous deck installation scattered about. He mentioned that he's going to address this. That would be great! The view eastward is beautiful. We would not hesitate to stay here again.
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.
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.
