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.

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!

Our cabin was perfect and fit our needs. Our host welcomed us upon arrival and was friendly and hospitable. She was knowledgeable about the area and gave us ideas of what to visit. The location was convenient to nearby attractions and the lake was great for canoeing.

Incredibly beautiful location. The cabin we stayed in was small, but posed no problems, if anything it put another level of entertainment. The property is clean, well maintained, and managed perfectly by Christine the owner.

Cabin on a beautiful lake

The cabin was equipped with all the essentials. The beds were very comfortable- better than in many hotels. The cabin came with use of rowboats and kayaks- SUPs also available- on a clean large lake. All way better than expected for the price.

Fall color at Otter Lake

Had a wonderful visit to a place I first visited many years ago. The cabins are well appointed, comfortable, and very cozy. Christine, the owner, has lovingly maintained this beautiful property on the shore. A perfect fall retreat for me, Kirsten, and the pups!

Fall Foliage Trip

We were looking for a little change of scenery since traveling during 2020 left us feeling a little uncomfortable. The cabin was a perfect spot to spend the nights as we drove through the Keweenaw Peninsula and Porcupines for Fall Color. Cabin was clean and adequately equipped for cooking simple meals. Very centrally located yet far enough from towns to be quiet. We did not use the lake but imagine it would be enjoyable in better weather. The cabin itself is compact, adequate for 2. Christine was very welcoming as a host.

Our wedding

Manninen cabins is one of THE BEST places to stay at. We held our wedding ceremony there and the owner went above and beyond her call of duty to make sure everything was perfect for us. We rented all the cabins for our wedding party and we will for sure be back again. I would recommend this place for your stay!
