About this property

Up North Luxury w/Unmatched Charm! 2 miles to MTU!

The Portage Centre is spacious, perfect for entertaining & tastefully remodeled to pay tribute to the area’s rich ice hockey tradition.i

The Portage Centre is the foremost destination for adventure seekers, & large families as it sits at the gateway to the Keweenaw, & is located just steps from the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail and Portage Canal.

The building has a long history as The General Glass Company, but the owners recently purchased the building to create the Portage Centre. The Portage Centre is a fully remodeled 3 bed/3 bath luxury home. The guest area consists of the entire 1750 sf main floor while the basement was retained by the owner for storage, caretaker apartment and is inaccessible to guests.

While staying at The Portage Centre, guests do not share spaces or amenities with anyone else. The property is located along Hancock Street (US41) and is in the middle of everything. If you are a light sleeper there is a chance the traffic noise could wake you in the front bedroom. The Master bedroom is located in the rear of the building and traffic will not affect most sleepers. That said, we are in the middle of everything and you can walk to most everything in downtown Houghton and Hancock!

A portion of all bookings will be donated to support local youth hockey.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

We really enjoyed our stay here!!! The property was exactly as described and as the pics showed and we used every bit of it!!! All 3 bedrooms and bathrooms, the washer and dryer, dishwasher and every kitchen appliance, utensil, and dish!!! I was able to cook a full thanksgiving dinner without a hitch…The hosts were very responsive to the questions that I had and even checked in to see if all was going well. We would definitely stay here again.

This was a beautifully done remodel with all the amenities we required. It was perfect for our group of 6 adults with room for all. We went on a SXS tour of the area and it was within minutes from the trail system. I would recommend this and would certainly stay here upon our return to the area.

Hancock Stay

The home was very well appointed. It is a very short walk to a park and a bike/hiking trail. The place is air conditioned throughout. It is an unusual building, but the inside is very pleasant and comfortable.

This was one of the nicest rentals we have ever stayed in. It was spotless! The rooms are huge and the kitchen is amazing! There was so much room and the bonus of 3 bathrooms was priceless for a family of 5 with 3 teens. I could not say enough good things about this house.

Houghton Weekend Stay

Had a great weekend stay here after picking up our son from MTU camp. The location was great for exploring the town and the Keweenaw peninsula. The house had everything we needed, a very well stocked kitchen, it was really clean and comfortable for the adults and the kids. The road noise in the front bedroom was manageable with fans. Excellent communication experience with the owner.

Great house and location! The home is beautifully renovated and walking distance to attractions. My husband and I stayed with two other couples. We all had our own room and a separate bathroom for each couple. The host is very responsive. Only negative is street noise. Bring earplugs if you are a light sleeper. Having the AC fan running in the room helped tremendously. We would definitely return!

Very spacious!! Loved all the room for our family to enjoy during parents/family weekend at MTU. Our freshman was able to stay with us in his own room and bathroom. The kitchen is very well stocked with anything you’d need to cook. Took a short walk down to the waterway which was very nice. Only negatives would be that the house is located right on a main road so you hear loud trucks go by frequently. Also there was a very strong marijuana smell the whole time we were there. I thought maybe the cleaning crew was vaping but it never went away. Other than that it was wonderful.

My family went up to the Keweenaw for a short visit between Christmas and New Years. The weather didn't cooperate but the place was fantastic. It's big, clean and great location. We will definitely stay again when we go north.

About the host

Hosted by Frederick Jaehnig

Host profile image
Maria and I each served in the Air & Space Forces for over 20 years and we started Copper County Vacation Rentals with the main goal of providing our guests with clean, comfortable and relaxing adventures. As we return to the Keweenaw full-time we will continue to provide amazing lodging, but we will also look to enhance our experience packages.

Due to our military background we believe in 100% transparency and renting a home from a stranger can be intimidating. We are absolutely certain you will love staying with us and we encourage you to check out our numerous reviews online to make sure that is the case!

Why they chose this property

The Portage Centre is centrally located and most everything is within easy walking distance. The Jack Steven trail is located less than 100 yards behind the building and offers great access to hundreds of miles of ATV and snowmobile trails!

What makes this property unique

*Accidental Damage Protection - We know accidents happen and all bookings include a complimentary $3000 damage protection policy to cover the property and to help provide you peace of mind throughout your stay.
