Water lovers Dream-Newly renovated! Gorgeous modern updates with a rustic flare!

Enjoy this newly updated cabin with a gorgeous new kitchen that keeps some flare of rustic with modern amenities. This adorable cabin, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath is just 6 miles from Lake Linden and 1.2 miles from Dreamland Restaurant and Bar. Enjoy 60 ft of lake front with a private dock with a large sitting area for your personal enjoyment whether for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing or the gorgeous sunsets-the water fun is endless!! Just off Chipmunk Trail for quick access to trails for walking and biking. We do accept dogs, plz advise w/ pet fee at time of booking. We ask they do biz on roadside, not lake side (it kills the grass), picked up after, leashed at all times and please don’t leave them for long period of times, as the cabin is not a kennel. If you want a boat, just let us know and we can have a small 14ft boat with motor available for rent for 15.00 per 24hrs-includes one tank of gas for each 24hrs. (All operators will need a tutorial and must be over 21 to use. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult.) Can even supply some tackle and rods, just let us know. You can always bring your own boat or jet skis if you wish and launch in Lake Linden and keep at the 74ft dock which can accommodate up to approx18ft boat since water is fairly shallow. There is a 16ft Grumman canoe/paddles available, with four adult life jackets, as well as two sea kayaks and a paddle board for your enjoyment free of charge-use at your own risk. 30 AMP RV service is also available at 25.00 a day if you have visitors needing to stay that have their own rig. Come enjoy the beauty of the U.P. Experience the adventures and sites the Keweenaw has to offer!

Great property for dog owner
My dad and I stayed for 3 nights while visiting my son at Michigan Tech. It was a lovely, quiet area. The cabin was clean and I loved the old with new look. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom is very small but clean. The property was amazing to exercise my 1.5 yo chocolate lab. She was able to chase a ball up and down the lane and in the lake. We enjoyed our stay very much. One thing, bring soap. Otherwise, very well stocked.

Perfect peaceful cottage on beautiful water!
This was the cleanest vrbo I've ever stayed in! It was spotless. Adorable back porch and a beautiful dock out on gorgeous water (with comfortable chairs to sit and enjoy the sunsets). A lot of cute touches like lights on the pier and a fairy garden. Loved the wood interior. Well appointed with all we needed. The dog had a great time too! Tom and Kierstin were delightful. Super friendly and had good suggestions on places to eat and things to see. Would love to come back!!

Very nice, cozy cabin!
We were able to spend some time with our MTU Husky and take in some beautiful sites. A little chilly to use the outdoor amenities, but would be great in the summer.

The Perfect Getaway!
Tom & Kierstin's cabin was the perfect complement of comfort, accommodation, and location; providing our base-camp for autumn color jaunts to museums, mine tours, lighthouses, ghost towns, harbors, tree tunnels, logging trails, historic pubs, and all things days-of-y'ore & copper.' The friendly hosts were available for wonderful insights and answers and we felt very much at home.

Beautiful lake front cabin
Clean, cozy, welcoming cabin on calm lake front with canoe and kayaks. Kierstin and Tom made us feel welcome and the cabin is equipped with all the comforts of home. The lake is beautiful and the cabin has several spots to sit and enjoy the views and the breeze off the lake. We took the kayaks out, and we sat with our dogs watching the sunsets. A fire pit is available though it was warm so we didn't use it. Cabin is short drive to state parks, hikes and waterfalls, as well as nearby towns for restaurants and markets. Kitchen is really well stocked with everything needed to cook and prepare meals. Definitely would recommend, and keep an eye out for Bald eagles hanging out in the pines on the lake.

Cozy cabin in the UP
We enjoyed this cozy cabin on Portage Lake near Calumet. It was nice to have access to a boat for fishing and kayaks which we took advantage of. Good leaping off point to explore the rest of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Charming cottage
We enjoyed our stay. It's a charming cabin on a beautiful lake (great sunsets!) The house was super clean when we arrived and stocked with everything from kitchen utensils to extra towels. There are a couple kayaks and canoe you can use also. We visited Copper Harbor, Eagle Harbor, Calumet, and Houghton - all are within 20-60 minute drive. Recommend the vegetable stands nearby for fresh veggies (usually harvested the same day!) and UP Foods down the road about a half mile for fresh, homemade jams. Overall a lovely, clean cabin and nice area to visit.

1st time Vrbo’ers
This property was/is amazing. The little cabin was open and ready for us when we arrived. The interior was so cute and adorably decorated. It has the woodsy “up north” feeling that we hoped for. The back screen door opens up to a nice large grassy area and then the lake . Oh this fabulous lake. My husband and 12 yr old granddaughter were on the dock fishing. I even woke up at 6am the 1st morning to find no one in the cabin, they were out there fishing. Back to inside the cabin, the kitchen is stocked with enough pots pans and utensils, so you could cook up anything you wanted , along with plenty of spices and condiments. In he bathroom you’ll find a basket with hotel size shampoos & conditioners body wash ect. There are alot of nice fluffy towels. And even more essentials were discovered in the medicine cabinet. Our hosts were very friendly with advice and directions so we could check out. This was such a pleasant experience, we will definitely do this again.

Keewanaw Family vacation was awesome
Can’t give enough positive feedback about our stay . Tom and Kiersten were awesome, the cottage was perfect, nicely updated and keeping the cottage charm, clean and comfortable. The new dock was great, the kids enjoyed it, soaking up the sun and to enjoy the lake. The fishing was great, and the location of the cottage allowed us to enjoy all the beautiful surroundings that the Keewanaw offers. We would Absolutely stay here again!!

Relaxing getaway right on the lake
The cabin was great, and had everything my girlfriend and I needed for a week. The tv has all of the streaming apps and the kitchen is well-prepared. We cooked a few nights, and went out the others. There are a lot of cool towns within easy driving distance. We were in town the first week of October and the fall colors were spectacular. Communication was quick and easy, and there were no problems getting in or out.
