Perfect quiet getaway

We loved this place! On a quiet road and beautiful lake. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and fishing off the dock in the evening. The perfect place to just escape for a few days.

So happy we found this home

We’ve stayed at many rentals over the years while visiting our daughter at MTU, and this one is definitely at the top of our list. The home sits right on the Portage with a large dock and deck—perfect for enjoying the peaceful setting and beautiful sunset views. We saw all kinds of wildlife during our stay, including waterfowl, deer, and even a bear that crossed the road a few miles from the house!Inside, the home was spotless and very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and modern with a clean, tiled walk-in shower and more than enough towels. I really appreciated the thoughtful extras you don’t always find in other rentals—coffee and hot chocolate pods for the Keurig, plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, and even access to cleaning supplies. The washer and dryer were also a great bonus.You can tell the owners truly care about this home. They've created a welcoming, well-stocked, and worry-free space to relax. We’d definitely stay here again!

Serene Waterfront Getaway with Stunning Sunsets

We recently stayed in this beautiful waterfront cabin, and it was the perfect escape! The sunsets over the lake were absolutely breathtaking, and we loved spending our days playing in the water. The cabin was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances for cooking and dining, and the bathroom was stocked with fresh towels and had hot water, which was a nice plus. The only minor drawback was the bedroom air conditioner, which was a bit noisy at night. It didn’t detract too much from our experience, but it could definitely use some attention. Additionally, having a backup power generator would be a great addition. Overall, it was a peaceful and relaxing stay, and we would definitely consider returning!

Beautiful town, great location!

The house was great. Clean, with lots of amenities and right on the water. Very nice large dock to fish off. The hosts were great and very prompt to answer any questions we had. Lots to see around the area and great restaurants. Bed was comfortable and the shower was nice as well. Definitely recommend.

Dreamland indeed

This is a fantastic little cottage that was perfect for our needs. Helped move our son into MTU and decided to make a mini vacation out of it. The cottage is super comfortable with a large bathroom with huge walk in shower, laundry, comfy beds, just great ! I caught 5 fish off the beautiful large dock including a really nice pike. Only thing I found myself wanting for was a fishing boat or pontoon to rent. If you want utter peace and solitude in the most beautiful part of Michigan look no further.

Amazing property

This property looked even better than the pictures ! Beautifully maintained and well stocked. It took us 45 minutes to get there from Houghton due to inclement weather which was not ideal. I was under the impression that it was going to be closer to Michigan Tech.

Beautiful!

The cabin was immaculate. It had all the anemities you could ask for. Washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen (with coffee, sugar, oil, eggs, flour, vinegar). The beds were so comfortable! And the view! Breathtaking! We fished from the dock and drank in the beautiful fall colors in the Keweenaw. We'd definitely stay here again, hopefully in the summer so we could enjoy the lake more. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Loved It!

We stayed here during the fall color tour that we as a family of 3 take every year to the U.P. This place is awesome! It’s cozy, clean and it really was a home away from home.The drive around the lake may take a little time, but relax and enjoy the scenery because this place is worth it.

Perfect

Had a wonderful visit and everything was great at this clean and comfortable home. Highly recommend the food and drinks at the Dreamland Inn - especially Mexican Monday and the fresh steelhead. Being able to dock our boat at the property was a great convenience for accessing both Portage Lake and Lake Superior. A good location for exploring the many activities available in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Also recommend the Thimbleberry margaritas at Carmelitas in Calumet. The fall colors were absolutely beautiful and we hope to be able to return again next year. Thanks for everything Timm and Becky!
