Host profile image
I have lived in Houghton since 2002, having graduated from MTU in 1988. Moved back to raise my four children and enjoy the beautiful area.

Why they chose this property

Purchased this property because of the beautiful views of Portage Lake. Moved from the area after graduating from MTU and decided this would be place to raise my family.

What makes this property unique

Lived in this cottage for years before building my permanent home on the same property. The views of the lake--whether its early morning sunrises or watching the every changing colors turn into night are breathtaking. Very serene and peaceful.
