  • Our 3000 sq.ft. log home is located on Portage Lake (just 9 miles from Houghton). Our peaceful home sits in a bay waiting for your arrival. All four seasons present an opportunity to have a wonderful getaway. Nothing compares to the tranquil experience of waking up by the water. Your morning coffee can be savored on one of our three outdoor covered porches as you watch various wildlife come alive (whitetail deer, otters, eagles, ducks, loons, birds, squirrels etc.). On cool mornings you can enjoy the beautiful view in the warmth of the cozy cabin with a burning fire.

    During beautiful UP summer days this is a great place for swimming, paddle boarding, kayaking, boating, fishing, and campfires. In the winter months there is access to snowmobile trails (1/4 mile away) , ice fishing, snowshoeing, and down hill & cross country skiing, In all four seasons you can find biking and hiking trails nearby.

Everything was absolutely perfect! The picturesque cabin offered stunning views of the lake, and the sauna and hot tub were a great way to relax. It’s only a 15-minute drive to downtown Houghton, but the cabin is very secluded, making it a perfect getaway. My family and I will definitely be back in the near future!

Awesome stay!We had an amazing stay at Calm Waters Cabin during our snowmobiling trip to the Keweenaw Peninsula. The cabin was the perfect home base for our trip. After long days out on the trails, it was exactly what we needed to come back to and relax.The location is fantastic for snowmobiling, with easy access to trails and plenty of space for gear. The cabin itself was comfortable, spacious, and stocked with everything you could need. We especially appreciated how quiet and peaceful it was.Shelly was a wonderful host—she helped with our travel plans and made the entire stay smooth and easy. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend Calm Waters Cabin for a winter getaway or snowmobiling trip.

The location was perfect for respite from the hustle and bustle of city life and it was only about a 15 min drive into Hougton and Mt Ripley and about an hour (even with snowy weather and slick roads) drive to Mt Bohemia.Shelly was quick to respond when we had questions and couldn't start the fireplaced. She even had her son come out to fix it for us within a couple hours!The cabin was cozy and equipped with extra blankets, all the cooking utensils we needed to make dinners.The dry sauna was a perfect was the end a busy day of snowshoeing and skiing.

The cabin was very homey, in a beautiful setting, and the host was very helpful and welcoming. We were impressed with the welcome basket and hand written note. Communication was excellent and the check in process was easy. The house had everything we needed. The beds were comfortable. It was the perfect place to stay for our son’s graduation from Michigan Tech!

The hosts were incredibly responsive and kind - they truly thought of everything to make our stay comfortable. We were welcomed with a thoughtful treat basket, and the house itself had every amenity you could think of. The location was absolutely picturesque, and we even got to enjoy some local wildlife.

We stayed here for our snowmobiling trip to the UP. This log cabin is beautiful with all the amenities. It is on the lake. The hosts are very gracious, nice people and made themselves available if we needed to contact them for anything. They have very clear instructions within the cabin and the email communication to the point of our stay, and communication as needed throughout was perfect. I highly recommend staying at this cabin if you're in the area for any vacation, winter or summer. Fabulous.
