Quiet on a beautiful lake

Cabins are small and rustic but very clean. Boats (small motors, kayaks and canoe) for use by guests allow a leisurely tour around the peaceful Otter Lake. Picnic table plus campfire ring right on the lakeshore. Cabins are about 30 minutes from Houghton/Hancock. Host is excellent; available but not intrusive. Will definitely visit again!

Hospitality Plus!

Owner is descendant of original property owner, so there is a deep emotional investment in the place and it shows. Christine is very helpful and accommodating and the property is conducive to a pleasant stay for all age levels.
