House in Oskar Bay, along Houghton Portage Canal

It was perfect for our stay. We would definitely stay there again!

Family of 6 and first time in UP. The owner was prompt when we had questions before and upon arrival. The setting overlooking the Houghton Canal was serene, a perfect week getaway for our family. The home was well equipped and clean. We really enjoyed the use of the kayaks and dock area. We stayed a week, and took trips to Copper Harbor, Pictured Rocks, and nearby Agate Beach. This home is a few minutes from Lake Superior, Breakers Beach (sunsets). Downtown Houghton had shops, restaurants, coffee shops. Walmart was a few minutes away. We would stay again!

In Houghton for graduation weekend. Great location and a great value for the area. Would definitely stay again.

Perfect getaway. Out of the city a few miles. Quiet. Right on the water. It was a great place for us and our boys!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - perfect for visiting with our son & his family who live in the area. We got to meet & visit with the owner who shared some history of the cottage and surroundings which made it even more special. Everything was as described - clean, very nicely decorated & comfortable. Thank you for a great stay!

The place was exactly as described. Will greater us as soon as we arrived and made himself available if needed. Recommend for a single family looking to relax and the peninsula.

This was a wonderful little place close to everything. We could visit our son at MTU and also explore the area easily. It was unseasonably hot, so we missed the AC, but we were provided with fans that helped. Kitchen was fully stocked. Beds were comfortable, but if adults are planning on sleeping on the bunk bed top or bottom, recommend bringing a foam pad. (We had one already, which was great.) It was really helpful having a laundry there. Bathroom was clean and efficient, but bring your own soap/shampoo. There's no TV, which many probably love, but we're big babies and need to crash and unwind once the little kids are in bed, so we bought a cheapie at Walmart and gave it to our college kid when done ?. All in all a wonderful stay. We would definitely come again and recommend to others!

This property was comfortable and a good home base for seeing the fall colors in the area.

Cabin was cute and clean, had good water access and great view!

Will was a great host! We had an amazing week. I have a 1 year old, so when we showed up to find an extra booster chair in the kitchen and spare diapers in the bathroom, it was a nice touch. The view of the lake is incredible. The kitchen was fully stocked with pots, pans, silverware, wine opener, etc. which made cooking very easy. The ONLY downside I found was being right on a curve in the road, it was difficult to see cars coming. However, the road is NOT busy, and my 4 year old listens really well. The dock is also far enough from the road, so I wasn’t concerned being down there at all. We have a family cottage nearby so we spent a lot of time there, but I would not hesitate booking this house again. We had a great time. Thanks, Will!
