About this property

New Dates now opened - Sept & October! FALL COLORS & FISHING! Dock & Boat Lift.

Step back in time and escape to this 1938 renovated classic cottage. Located on Portage Lake, the cottage sleeps 8, comes with a dock and boat lift, a fire pit for evening campfires, and an amazing screened in porch that faces the lake (no mosquitoes!!). The rail trail is located directly behind the property, and is also walking distance to the Nara nature park & biking trails. It is also across from the Portage Lake Golf Course for you golf enthusiasts.

Ideal for family getaways, fishing excursions, and water sports lovers, our cozy cottage features a renovated and well-equipped kitchen, a living room with beautiful lake views, and a spacious screened porch perfect for lazy afternoons. Step outside onto the outdoor deck to soak up the sun or enjoy a barbecue on the gas grill. For those warmer July days, the cottage has AC to provide comfort.

Inside, you'll find a quaint master bedroom with a queen bed, a second bedroom with two extra large Maine bunk beds more than sturdy enough for 4 adults, and a full bathroom with a shower. A detached renovated garage room offers two additional twin beds for extra guests or privacy seekers with AC and TV. The Cottage has all the essentials including a full refrigerator, gas oven, microwave, washer/dryer, and a gas grille. Explore the nearby nature and bike trails leading to Houghton or Chassell, or take a short drive to the MTU campus, downtown Houghton, and popular restaurants.

Book your getaway from May to mid-September and make unforgettable memories at our lakeside retreat!

Sheridan Place
Had a great stay. Great lake views and sunrise. Kitchen was recently remodeled. House was a good mix of old with the new. Neighbors were quite. Close to MTU campus and golf course. The only downside was that the beds were a little harder than I prefer. Would definitely stay again.

MTU drop off
This home was absolutely amazing! We booked it so we could stay a few days as we dropped off our daughter to Michigan Tech. I love to walk, my husband and son love to fish and grandma loves to shop. This place had everything for everyone and the sunrise is breathtaking! Not to mention everything you need to make great meals at home or great restaurants nearby.

Lovely Property!
Super cute home on Portage Lake with views you never tire of. Close to Downtown Houghton which made it convenient dropping off and pickup up our daughter from MI Tech all week long. The house was very clean with plenty of space for more than the three of us. Shannon was very easy to communicate with as well. Would definitely stay here again!
