Snowmobile trip
Was a great place to stay for a snowmobile tirp with my wife. Place is literally on the trail. Hot tub was a huge plus. If traveling with other couples you could rent multiple units and all be together but have privacy too!

Great Location
Access and gear supplied for many outdoor adventures. Nice to stay somewhere you could enjoy the outdoors yet have the convenience of being close to town. The cabin was very clean and mindfully organized. The location was pretty. Hot tub, sauna, and game room were enjoyable and fun. Great place to stay and will be back. Thank you.

Houghton Get-Away
The property was small and cozy. It is very well kept and appointed. There are nice amenities, such as the hot tub, sauna, small beach and fire pit. It is right next to the local mountain bike/4X4/snowmobile trail. It's a 5-7 minute drive from downtown Houghton. There is extensive gravel grading around the property and you are right next door to a small marina, with a business for boat sales/service/rental. We will definitely look into availability for future trips to Houghton/Hancock.

Beautiful views, clean comfortable cabin!
Cabin was super clean and comfortable. Sensible rules, easy for adults to follow. Great amenities like kayaks, bikes, sauna, hot tub, and arcade. Quiet area, view out cabin window not great but that's reflected in reduced price. Would absolutely rent again, summer or Winter!

Clean. So clean.
And not just clean, but carefully stocked. Plenty of towels, extra washcloths, extra sheets, a selection of emergency toiletries, plus a brand new first aid kit. The photos online make the space look slightly cramped, but that is not the case at all. The space is generous with plenty of sunlight and room for dancing. And did I mention how clean it was?
