About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire apartment 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.

Excellent home in Hancock
This place was wonderful, highly recommended. I ended up staying just over a week and needed to extend for a few days. Luckily it was available and the owner was really responsive and helpful. It was truly a home away from home. Super comfortable, very clean, had everything we needed and we cooked every meal. We really loved this place. Would definitely come back here if we come to the area again!

Great place to stay in the UP
Overall we enjoyed this rental - it is very modern and spacious. We had 5 adults and our dog here for four nights. We made and ate most of our meals here since one of us has to be extremely careful to eat only gluten free foods and it was well equipped to prepare, cook and eat in. I recommend this to others.

Fantastic stay
This was our 2nd time staying here. Clean, roomy. Love the 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Walking distance to many great places in Hancock for dinner, drinks, breakfast and bakery items as well as shops. This was convenient for moving our son out of MTU. Also a very comfortable place for my husband and I to work remotely. We brought our dog and walked just down the road to Porvoo Park most mornings. Trails nearby that span for miles. Also, a dog park just a couple of miles away. Just a perfect stay!

Great stay for new Husky family
The house was immaculate and perfect for our long weekend dropping our son off at MTU. Don’t let the lack of central air deter you. The A/C units in each bedroom were more than adequate to give you a nice cool night of sleep.

Awesome place!
We visited Hancock for the first time with our pets and son who is in a wheelchair. We knew we would have to ramp down the step in the entryway so brought a small ramp with us. The rest of the place was very accessible! Wide doors, huge bedrooms and beautiful, incredible comfortable open design. It is an urban location so set on a main road but there is a park right down the street and trail access to other parks. We traveled the region for leisure but wish we had a college student in the area as it is a perfect fit for a family coming in to visit! Incredibly accommodating, pet friendly and (almost) wheelchair accessible!

A perfect place to come home to after exploring the Keweenaw all day
My husband and I stayed here while visiting our son at MTU. Our original plan was for 6 of us to stay and it was definitely roomy enough for 6 to stay comfortably. The owners did a fantastic job of repurposing a commercial building into a spacious, yet cozy, home away from home. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and close to everything Hancock/Houghton. This place is just as wonderful as it looks in the pictures. What you can't see in the pics is how well-stocked the kitchen is with pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. We had everything we needed and more. My favorite feature was the peek-a-boo view of the canal. It was lovely, especially with the autumn colors and the clear skies at night. Overall, a great place to stay! We're looking forward to coming back.

Modern stay in Hancock
We were moving our son into Michigan Tech and brought grandma along. This place was perfect for us. Our son could just pop back and forth from campus as needed. Everything is on one level, no stairs even at entry. This was great for grandma and anyone with mobility issues. Showers are walk-in and there are 3 full bathrooms which made it very convenient. Location is great! We walked to Millie’s…drove to Roy’s but you could walk across the bridge. Just down the hill is Porvoo park with a fantastic view of the Lift Bridge. This place is newly finished and very clean and modern. We will be staying again.

Beautifully Renovated!
My colleagues were very impressed with the cleanliness and renovations of this property. Our company was staying at this rental for the 2024 MTU Spring Career fair, and it was a wonderful choice! There was a lot of attention to detail in how it was designed and decorated, everything is new and fresh! The location is perfect when it comes to accessing all you need in town, which was definitely utilized! The parking was great for what was needed, which was a Ram 2500 diesel truck. There aren't many improvements to suggest, however, one would be the baseboard heat was noisy, especially in the middle of the night. They only other downside was the one room is right next to a busy road (8-10 feet), which was loud on it's own. If a sound machine was used that could have help drown out the traffic sound. Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would be happy to come back and stay there again! We will recommend it to others!
