About this property

Lakeside Retreat or Winter Wonderland...You Choose

Are you looking for a vacation to enjoy one of the most versatile lakes in the Upper Peninsula for summer fun, a beautiful landscape to take in fall foliage, or a winter skiing and snowmobiling paradise? If so, you have found your vacation getaway!

Our cottage is in the most perfect location to enjoy all the Copper Country has to offer. We are just a few miles outside of Lake Linden, 48137 Bootjack Road on Portage Lake. Our cottage will host you with a variety of convenient amenities including an outdoor fireplace on concrete patio, open concept full kitchen/dining/living room, 2 bedrooms, mudroom/laundry room, sauna with shower, and one bathroom.

As a summer retreat, the house is just feet from the waters edge with a wonderful sandy bottom for swimming fun. The fall foliage is breathtaking in the autumn months. As a winter wonderland, you can get on the snowmobile trail in under a mile away. Or maybe you want an extended stay to visit your student at Michigan Tech University. We are just over about 17 miles away from Houghton/Hancock. Also, Copper Harbor is just a car ride away!

Please come and enjoy your vacation with us in a new, comfortable, and stylish retreat!

Anniversary trip

This was the perfect location for us to site see in the entire Keweenaw peninsula. We also traveled to the Porcupine Mountains and Lake of the clouds all in a day trip. The property was beautiful, clean and modern. The sauna was the perfect ending to the day.

We loved everything about this place. So cozy and homey. We enjoyed every last second of the sauna and lake and took as many sauna swims as we possibly could in a week. The location is also just perfect.

We have stayed here a few different times with other family members. This year it was just my husband and I. It's a great place to stay! Walked the beaches at White City and Lake Superior, hung out with relatives, and just had an amazing week!

Best place I’ve rented in the Keweenaw

House was very clean. Beds were very comfortable. House was located close to everything we wanted to see and do. Lakefront was only 50 feet away. Planning on staying there again next year.

Keweenaw Family Vacation

We enjoyed our stay at the cabin on the lake. The cabin was clean and well equipped. It would have been nice to have wifi and satellite TV or the option to stream TV. We loved the sunsets on the back porch with the fire pit.

Perfect location!

Loved our stay and the extra shower in the sauna room. Also loads of kitchen and bath items on hand. We never turned on a tv and didn’t use the sauna. The outside fireplace was amazing until the mosquitoes come. Lots of birds and ducks to watch.

Top of our list!

Beautiful property, set on a quiet lake. Fully stocked with pots, pans, utensils, bedding, etc., we were able to relax and enjoy each others company rather than having to plan “how to” get through the day. We enjoyed nature, seeing a pair of eagles, pair of swans, great blue heron, lots of ducks, turkeys, etc. Excellent location to tour the beautiful Keewanaw peninsula while visiting our son at MI Tech. We will definitely keep this one in our list for return visits.

Perfect, quiet getaway

This was our first time in the Keweenaw and it was the perfect place for our family. We have realized that our family of four has outgrown hotel rooms and have never used a Vrbo, so this was our first. Everything was exactly as described. The home was so comfortable, well stocked with everything we needed, good central location near Houghton, and on a quiet lake. We enjoyed quiet mornings with coffee next to the lake listening to the ducks. After hiking all day, the outdoor fireplace was perfect for unwinding and watching the sunset. We had a great, relaxing week. Thank you so much! We will definitely return!
