Fantastic Stay in a Perfect Location!

We had a wonderful time at this rental property! The location was absolutely ideal – close to campus and right on the Portage. It was so convenient for getting around and exploring the area and MTU's Winter Carnival. The property itself was everything we could have asked for. It was impeccably clean, nicely furnished, and had all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay. We felt right at home.Highly recommend this rental for anyone looking for a great place to stay in the area. We would definitely book again!

Money!

This place is absolutely perfect. Cabin #4 was incredibly clean and cozy. We were up visiting our son who plays football at MTU, and felt right at home. The game room, hot tub, and sauna was definitely an added bonus. That will come in handy during future stays for ski trips as well. This is a must stay for anyone visiting the Houghton/Hancock area. Kari and her husband now have lifelong customers.

MTU Parents weekend visit

I have stayed at several different rentals in this area during my many visits to my son at MTU and this one was my favorite. Not only was the cabin beautifully appointed, but the location was lovely. Little Sandy Beach on the shore of the waterway with wonderful views of the campus in the bridge. Really showed off Houghton and Hancock. The game room was such a delight. Maybe next time will remember our swimsuits for the hot tub and song. Beautiful beautiful place.

Fantastic Stay with Amazing Amenities & Scenic Views!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Keweenaw Waterway Cabins! Everything was exactly as described in the listing and photos. The cabin was neat, clean, and well-stocked with essentials, which made our stay even more comfortable.The amenities were fantastic—our group especially loved the hot tub, sauna, and game room, all of which were top-notch. The location was perfect for outdoor adventures and beautiful views of Portage Lake and Michigan Tech.A couple of minor areas for improvement: the beds were not the most comfortable, and we would have loved to see a paved parking pad in front of the cabin. The muddy conditions made it difficult to avoid tracking mud into the cabin.That said, Kari was extremely responsive, and we had no issues at all during our stay. We would absolutely consider staying here again, especially in another season to take full advantage of the different outdoor activities and stunning scenery.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy, adventure-filled getaway in the Keweenaw!
