Photos and Description of the Houghton vacation cabin rental
1 bedroom, 1 three-quarter bathroom, loft, sleeps 4

The Keweenaw Cordwood Cabin was constructed in 2005-06. It overlooks the Keweenaw Waterway which is about one-half mile wide at this point. The cabin has one bedroom downstairs and a loft above and sleeps a maximum of four persons. A covered deck at the front of the cabin provides a spectacular view of the waterway and the hills along the opposite shore. Fall colors are especially dramatic across the water. The private, sandy beach is great for swimming and wading and is only a stone's throw from the cabin. A dock slip with shore power is available. The town of Houghton has a full range of amenities and is only 5 miles by car or boat. Michigan Technological University is located in Houghton and enriches the cultural opportunities. Tourist attractions abound nearby. Fishing is excellent in the waterway and deep water fishing is available on Lake Superior. A trout pond is available for use of children. A full range of water sports are available locally.

The Cordwood Cabin is located on the Keweenaw Waterway about 5 miles west of Houghton and 5 miles east of Lake Superior. The Waterway stretches 26 miles across the base of the Keweenaw Peninsula and provides deep water access to Lake Superior at each end. The passenger ship to Isle Royale National Park passes in front of the cabin several times each week and freighters also often pass by as they traverse the Waterway. A bridge at Houghton provides access to the Keweenaw Peninsula which juts about 40 miles into Lake Superior and is home to numerous major tourist attractions. The rich mining history of the region is highlighted by the National Historic Park headquartered at Calumet. At the tip of the Peninsula are Copper Harbor and Brockway Mountain, Fort Wilkins, Keweenaw Mountain Lodge and Golf Course, lighthouse tours, lakes, rivers, trails, and islands. Boating, deepsea fishing, stream fishing, sailing, canoeing and sea kayaking are popular around the Peninsula and harbors.

Other Activities: Sea Kayaking, Deep Water Fishing

A very unique cabin

5 of 5
Submitted: September 16, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
This is a wonderful cabin with a great location. Close to Houghton with a country setting.The kitchen was better equipped with matching equipment and dishware than we have at home! We even had a lovely wildflower bouquet on the table when we arrived. All the bed and bath linens you could ask for. The loft would make me nervous with children younger than about 4 yrs old but it can be gated off. The rope net and cable hand rail and loft wall would be too tempting for any smaller child to resist climbing. Since our kids are all in college, it was wonderful and airy.

Cordwood Cabin is Awesome

5 of 5
Submitted: July 18, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
We stayed at the Keweenaw Cordwood Cabin last week. Besides having perfect weather the whole week, the whole experience was perfect. The accomodations are spotless, very up to date, and comfortable. The views of the water in the morning will stay with us for a long time. The property is close enough to town to either drive or boat in 15 minutes. We went into Houghton for breakfast by boat which was a great time. The beach, dock, and calm waters of the Portage were a perfect setting for the week. To be honest, we would not change a thing.

Relaxing Away From Home

5 of 5
Submitted: April 30, 2012 Stayed: April 2012
We stayed at the Cordwood cabin when our youngest son graduated from Michigan Tech this last weekend. It was the most relaxing time that we have ever spent in Houghton. The cabin was neat and clean and fully stocked with everything that we needed. There was plenty of room and the pictures don't fully express the charm of the property. The view is great and we even saw two eagles flying over the cabin. We also saw deer and a coyote in the field behind the cabin one evening.
The cabin is very private but is only a 5 minute drive to town. Grocery shopping, restaurants and hiking trails are all nearby. We spent time hiking to local waterfalls and really enjoyed it!
The only regret that we have is that we did not find this property earlier. It was far more enjoyable than any of the hotels that we have stayed in the last few years. Do not hesitate to book this cabin!

Cute, Scenic yet Close to Town

5 of 5
Submitted: August 29, 2011 Stayed: August 2011
My family and I stayed here in August 2011. We thought the cabin was great, the placement is ideal and the owner is a lot of fun! It's just a few miles to town yet it's out in the country. The photos here are accurate, although the real-life charm of this place can't be caught with a lens. We heard loons, saw eagles, swam in the oh-so-cold waters and had a great time. We'd recommend this without reservation and hope to be back ourselves!
