Trailside Cabin #3, across the Lake from MTU, next to boat & snowmobile rentals

✦ Summary:
Cabin with shared amenities and direct trail access! Located just steps from DB Motorsports and across Portage Lake from MTU, this cabin is your base for year-round adventure. You'll have access to shared spaces including a hot tub, sauna, game room, and firepit. You’re also welcome to enjoy our lakeside beach, which is part of our yard. The setting is active and social—perfect for guests looking to explore the Keweenaw. We live next door and are happy to help if needed!

➤ Listing space:
This cozy, trail-facing cabin is part of a 5-unit property located just across Portage Lake from Michigan Tech University and less than a mile from downtown Hancock and Houghton. Whether you’re visiting MTU, attending Winter Carnival, or just exploring the Keweenaw, this location puts you close to everything—shops, dining, breweries, and events.

You’ll find excellent local food and drink nearby, from lakefront restaurants and microbreweries to coffee shops, burgers, and artisan pizza. Favorites like Keweenaw Brewing Company, Suomi Bakery, the Ambassador, and Studio Pizza are just a few minutes away.

The cabin offers direct snowmobile and ATV trail access, so you can hop on and ride straight from the door—no trailer needed. For rentals, DB Motorsports is right next door with snowmobiles, pontoons, and jet skis depending on the season.

Inside, the cabin is private and fully self-contained. Outdoors, you’ll have access to shared spaces like the hot tub, sauna, firepit, and game room. The environment is active and social, especially during peak trail season, and we (your hosts) live next door if you need anything during your stay.

You’ll also enjoy all of these shared amenities:
✦ Hot tub & sauna
✦ Game room (free to play)
✦ Firepit
✦ Picnic tables
✦ Gas grill (available on request)
✦ Seasonal kayaks & bikes
✦ Cornhole game
✦ Lounging chairs by the lake
✦ Parking for vehicles & trailers
✦ Direct access to snowmobile/ATV trail system

☀️ You're welcome to enjoy our lakeside beach, which is part of our personal yard. It's a shared space, so you may see us or other guests around—but feel free to swim, relax, or launch a kayak and make yourself at home.

✧ We strive to provide the cleanest stay possible ✧
We wash 100% of bedding, including comforters and blankets—not just sheets—between each guest. Every cabin also receives a detailed deep clean before check-in to ensure a fresh, spotless stay.


Whether you're here to unwind, ride, ski, or explore, Cabin #3 gives you a clean, convenient, and welcoming home base in the Keweenaw.

➤ Guest access:
You’ll have the entire cabin to yourselves with private entry. You’re welcome to enjoy all shared spaces, including the hot tub, sauna, game room, firepit, kayaks, bikes (seasonal), and picnic tables by the lake. The beach is part of our yard—guests are welcome, though you may see us or others around. There’s plenty of parking, even for trailers.

➤ Interaction:
We live next door in our own home, so we're nearby if you need anything during your stay. You might see us around the property or at the beach, but we always respect your privacy. Feel free to reach out—we're happy to help.

➤ Neighborhood overview:
If you're here for outdoor adventure, MTU events, or a Keweenaw getaway, this location is hard to beat.
We’re located right on the snowmobile and ATV trail, so you can ride directly from your cabin without hauling. DB Motorsports is next door for seasonal rentals, and Mont Ripley Ski Area is just ½ mile away.
We're also less than a mile from both downtown Hancock and Houghton, where you'll find local shops, breweries, restaurants, and cozy coffee spots. The cabin is also just across the lake from Michigan Tech University, making it ideal for visiting students, families, and alumni.
Nearby attractions include the Quincy Mine Tour, Dee Stadium, Bridgefest, and the A.E. Seaman Mineral Museum—plus plenty of trails, waterfalls, and scenic drives to explore the best of the Upper Peninsula.

➤ Transit/getting around:
Most guests get around by car, but once you're here, it's a quick drive to downtown Hancock, Houghton, and Michigan Tech. The snowmobile/ATV trail runs right by the cabin, so you can ride straight from your door in-season.

➤ Listing notes:
Cabin #3 shares a wall with Cabin #4, but there’s no interior access between them. Each has its own private entrance and is fully self-contained. You may hear occasional noise from next door, but most guests find both units quiet and comfortable.
The cabin also shares a wall with our workshop, which we use occasionally during daytime hours. If noise becomes an issue, just let us know and we’ll pause activity.
✔ No commercial use, subletting, or illegal activity allowed.
✔ Guest count must match the reservation. You can update it anytime before check-in.
✔ Only registered guests may access the property and use the amenities.
✔ No pets (including emotional support animals). A $500 fine and/or eviction may apply if violated.
✔ No smoking or vaping indoors. Outdoor smoking/vaping is fine—please clean up. Cannabis is not permitted anywhere on the property.
✔ No outdoor music—please help us keep the atmosphere peaceful for all guests and neighbors.
✔ Late check-outs without prior approval may incur a $35/hour fee, as we need time to prepare for the next guest.
✔ ATVs & Snowmobiles: Ride only to and from the trail. Do not ride on neighboring private property—thanks for helping us keep good relationships with neighbors.
✔ Quiet hours begin at 10 PM. Please keep noise respectful at all times.
✔ No refunds for power outages or occasional issues with hot tub, sauna, appliances, internet, or game equipment.
✔ Breaking house rules may result in eviction without refund and/or additional charges.
✔ Above all: Be respectful, use common sense, and treat the space like home.

Fantastic Stay with Amazing Amenities & Scenic Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keweenaw Waterway Cabins! Everything was exactly as described in the listing and photos. The cabin was neat, clean, and well-stocked with essentials, which made our stay even more comfortable.The amenities were fantastic—our group especially loved the hot tub, sauna, and game room, all of which were top-notch. The location was perfect for outdoor adventures and beautiful views of Portage Lake and Michigan Tech.A couple of minor areas for improvement: the beds were not the most comfortable, and we would have loved to see a paved parking pad in front of the cabin. The muddy conditions made it difficult to avoid tracking mud into the cabin.That said, Kari was extremely responsive, and we had no issues at all during our stay. We would absolutely consider staying here again, especially in another season to take full advantage of the different outdoor activities and stunning scenery.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, adventure-filled getaway in the Keweenaw!

Fantastic Stay in a Perfect Location!

We had a wonderful time at this rental property! The location was absolutely ideal – close to campus and right on the Portage. It was so convenient for getting around and exploring the area and MTU's Winter Carnival. The property itself was everything we could have asked for. It was impeccably clean, nicely furnished, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We felt right at home.Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a great place to stay in the area. We would definitely book again!

Money!

This place is absolutely perfect. Cabin #4 was incredibly clean and cozy. We were up visiting our son who plays football at MTU, and felt right at home. The game room, hot tub, and sauna was definitely an added bonus. That will come in handy during future stays for ski trips as well. This is a must stay for anyone visiting the Houghton/Hancock area. Kari and her husband now have lifelong customers.

MTU Parents weekend visit

I have stayed at several different rentals in this area during my many visits to my son at MTU and this one was my favorite. Not only was the cabin beautifully appointed, but the location was lovely. Little Sandy Beach on the shore of the waterway with wonderful views of the campus in the bridge. Really showed off Houghton and Hancock. The game room was such a delight. Maybe next time will remember our swimsuits for the hot tub and song. Beautiful beautiful place.
