Serene Waterfront Getaway with Stunning Sunsets
We recently stayed in this beautiful waterfront cabin, and it was the perfect escape! The sunsets over the lake were absolutely breathtaking, and we loved spending our days playing in the water. The cabin was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances for cooking and dining, and the bathroom was stocked with fresh towels and had hot water, which was a nice plus.
The only minor drawback was the bedroom air conditioner, which was a bit noisy at night. It didn’t detract too much from our experience, but it could definitely use some attention. Additionally, having a backup power generator would be a great addition.
Overall, it was a peaceful and relaxing stay, and we would definitely consider returning!

Beautiful town, great location!
The house was great. Clean, with lots of amenities and right on the water. Very nice large dock to fish off. The hosts were great and very prompt to answer any questions we had. Lots to see around the area and great restaurants. Bed was comfortable and the shower was nice as well. Definitely recommend.

Dreamland indeed
This is a fantastic little cottage that was perfect for our needs. Helped move our son into MTU and decided to make a mini vacation out of it. The cottage is super comfortable with a large bathroom with huge walk in shower, laundry, comfy beds, just great !
I caught 5 fish off the beautiful large dock including a really nice pike. Only thing I found myself wanting for was a fishing boat or pontoon to rent.
If you want utter peace and solitude in the most beautiful part of Michigan look no further.

Lake Linden
We love staying at this property. It’s right on the lake and has everything you need. The owners live next door and if you need anything or have questions they are happy to help.
This home was a little gem for our family, it offered the perfect get away. It was quiet, beautiful sunsets. Our kids loved fishing of the doc. The location was great! The hosts were sweet and easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to next summer already.

Amazing property
This property looked even better than the pictures ! Beautifully maintained and well stocked. It took us 45 minutes to get there from Houghton due to inclement weather which was not ideal. I was under the impression that it was going to be closer to Michigan Tech.

Beautiful!
The cabin was immaculate. It had all the anemities you could ask for. Washer/dryer, fully stocked kitchen (with coffee, sugar, oil, eggs, flour, vinegar). The beds were so comfortable! And the view! Breathtaking! We fished from the dock and drank in the beautiful fall colors in the Keweenaw. We'd definitely stay here again, hopefully in the summer so we could enjoy the lake more. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

We stayed here during the fall color tour that we as a family of 3 take every year to the U.P. This place is awesome! It’s cozy, clean and it really was a home away from home.The drive around the lake may take a little time, but relax and enjoy the scenery because this place is worth it.

Perfect
Had a wonderful visit and everything was great at this clean and comfortable home. Highly recommend the food and drinks at the Dreamland Inn - especially Mexican Monday and the fresh steelhead. Being able to dock our boat at the property was a great convenience for accessing both Portage Lake and Lake Superior. A good location for exploring the many activities available in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Also recommend the Thimbleberry margaritas at Carmelitas in Calumet. The fall colors were absolutely beautiful and we hope to be able to return again next year. Thanks for everything Timm and Becky!

Luxury on Lake Portage
This sharp, clean property was even better than the pictures! Two seemingly new comfortable couches gave our party of 5 plenty of seating in the family room with breathtaking views of the lake. The bathroom was clean, bright and had a large granite shower with lots of fresh towels. Tim and Becky were great owners who were available for any questions or needs. The Kitchen appliances were full sized and appeared to be nearly new.
The availability of Kayaks and the Paddle Board were a huge plus on the lake.
The long and extra wide dock was sturdy and great for fishing or sitting around in the sun. We were about 10 minutes from a sandy beach and swimming on White City Beach with its pier and Light House on Lake Superior.
We are grateful for our relaxing week.

peaceful, quiet, enjoyed meals and downtime on the fantastic deck. Sunsets are beautiful and tranquil. Appreciated use of the kayaks. Property is well taken care of and clean. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay and using it as a basecamp to explore other areas of the Peninsula. We will be back.
