About this property
Entire place
Trailside Lakeside, across from MTU, Next to boat and snowmobile rentals, Apt 1
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!
