About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Up North Luxury w/Unmatched Charm! 2 miles to MTU!

The Portage Centre is spacious, perfect for entertaining & tastefully remodeled to pay tribute to the area’s rich ice hockey tradition.i

The Portage Centre is the foremost destination for adventure seekers, & large families as it sits at the gateway to the Keweenaw, & is located just steps from the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail and Portage Canal.

The building has a long history as The General Glass Company, but the owners recently purchased the building to create the Portage Centre. The Portage Centre is a fully remodeled 3 bed/3 bath luxury home. The guest area consists of the entire 1750 sf main floor while the basement was retained by the owner for storage, caretaker apartment and is inaccessible to guests.

While staying at The Portage Centre, guests do not share spaces or amenities with anyone else. The property is located along Hancock Street (US41) and is in the middle of everything. If you are a light sleeper there is a chance the traffic noise could wake you in the front bedroom. The Master bedroom is located in the rear of the building and traffic will not affect most sleepers. That said, we are in the middle of everything and you can walk to most everything in downtown Houghton and Hancock!

A portion of all bookings will be donated to support local youth hockey.

Loved our stay at this property! It had everything we needed and was extremely comfortable. I made Easter dinner for 12 while there. Not knowing, I brought a lot of pans and utensils. I wouldn’t have needed any of them! This is an extremely well equipped kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

The host was outstanding! We had a minor issue with getting the WiFi to work, but our host was outstanding communicating with us and even came out to fix it in a timely manner. As far as snowmobiling, it’s 1 block to the trail and 2 gas stations with very easy access.

This was a beautifully done remodel with all the amenities we required. It was perfect for our group of 6 adults with room for all. We went on a SXS tour of the area and it was within minutes from the trail system. I would recommend this and would certainly stay here upon our return to the area.

The home was very well appointed. It is a very short walk to a park and a bike/hiking trail. The place is air conditioned throughout. It is an unusual building, but the inside is very pleasant and comfortable.
