About this property

Entire place

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

Trailside Lakeside, across from MTU, Next to boat and snowmobile rentals, Apt 1

✦ Cabin #1 at Keweenaw Waterway Cabins ✦
Lakefront access • Trailside fun • Shared hot tub & sauna • Across from MTU

Located just steps from DB Motorsports in Hancock and directly across Portage Lake from Michigan Tech University, Cabin #1 is your gateway to year-round adventure in the Keweenaw. Whether you're here to ride, relax, ski, or stargaze, you'll be perfectly positioned to enjoy it all.

This cabin is part of a 5-cabin property with direct access to the snowmobile/ATV/recreation trail, and sits just a half mile from Mont Ripley Ski Area and only an hour from Mount Bohemia.

Cabin #1 is road-facing (not lake-facing), but you'll still have full access to all the incredible shared amenities on the property, including:
✦ Communal hot tub and sauna
✦ Share our sandy beach on Portage Lake
✦ Free-use kayaks and bikes (seasonal)
✦ Game room, firepit, gas grill (on request), and picnic tables near the water
✦ Plenty of parking and room to unwind

In the summer, rent a pontoon boat or jet ski next door at DB Motorsports. In the winter, hop on a snowmobile right from the cabin. When the day winds down, enjoy a night of stargazing by the lake.

This is a social property — not remote or secluded — and it's common for guests in different cabins to strike up conversation and share in the lakeside atmosphere.

We (hosts) live on the property in a separate building (no shared indoor spaces), and while we fully respect your privacy, we’re always happy to chat, answer questions, or share local tips if you feel like saying hello!

Great little spot!

The property was clean and tidy with some added surprises! The little snack tray was a bonus for sure. I would definitely stay again.

Great Stay

Loved our stay at this little place. Super clean and great amenities with the hot tub, sauna, and game room. No problems whatsoever. Beautiful spot on the canal with a great beach area overlooking Tech campus. Easy check-in/check-out. Would absolutely stay there again.
