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.

Great Location, Beautiful Apartment

Really nice property. Great location right on the snowmobile trails in the winter, and right on the water for the summer. The game room is a fun addition as is the hot tub sauna area. Everything was very clean, and we had everything we needed for the stay. Only reason for 4 stars vs 5 is the quality of the mattress. We're admittedly a little spoiled/picky in this area, but a better mattress would have elevated the stay for us.

Grest Find!

Visited our daughter at MTU a snowy, chilly weekend in Feb. The game room was great entertainment for everyone in the family and the hot tub was a hit after skiing. The provided coffee was a nice surprise too

Hancock Quaint Stay

A nice location for Ice Festival. Hot tube and Sauna great. Our place was a one bedroom with apartment feel. We had everything we needed but it was simple. No dishwasher, but we ate out a lot! We got to see fireworks from our window!
