About this property
Northwinds Adventures-Walleye Cabin
Sitting on the property of Northwinds Adventures, a year round camp, the “Walleye" cabin features 2 bedrooms; one with a Queen bed (linens provided) and another with a two twin bunks (linens provided). For additional sleeping space, there is a reclining couch in the living room or space for a cot. 50" Streaming TV only! Pack and Play available upon request - $10. White Oak hardwood floors throughout cabin, bathroom is tiled with a standup shower. A wood burning stove is available to take the chill off in the cooler seasons, firewood provided for $8/bundle. The kitchen is full with everything you need to prepare a great meal after a day outdoors.
The cabin is tucked in a grove of aspens about 100 yards from our very own private Love Lake. There is a deck for lounging and a fire pit in the yard. There is also a charcoal grill; but the charcoal is not provided.
Feel free to walk the trails around our 220 acres, paddle a canoe or kayak in our lake, or spend time on our private beach.
Love Lake is a 10 acre, spring fed private lake and there are plenty of opportunities to fish from shore. To protect our population of native brook trout and walleyes we ask that you use only barbless, artificial lures and gently release all of our finned friends back into the lake to fight another day!
If you are coming up to ATV or snowmobile, we ask that you DO NOT ride machines on the property. You can however ride them directly from the property to the trail, a short, legal ride on the roads to the Freda Loop, 3 miles away.

Perfect cabin, close enough to Houghton but far enough to enjoy the serene, beautiful area. Cabin was clean and well stocked. Enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay there again.
We enjoyed our stay at the cabin. Only a short drive from Houghton, the cabin was a great location to call home for a few days. There are kayaks available to rent for an additional fee. I would highly recommend.

We visited our son for Winter Carnival and found this gem of a cabin. The owners are very kind and accommodating for everything we asked for. The fireplace and furniture were so cozy! Highly recommend any of their cabins!!!
This was our third stay in the cabins in Atlantic Mine. They have truly become our home-away-from-home for our visits to our son, a student at Michigan Tech. The cabins a very clean and comfortable.
My husband and I found this cabin near Houghton so we could spend a weekend with our son, who is a student at Michigan Tech. The cabin was spacious, with attractive, sturdy furniture and cabinetry. We had plenty of space to spread out, and the scenery was just gorgeous.
We were looking for a cozy and convenient place to stay while visiting our daughter at MTU. Very clean and private. Owner very friendly and accessible. Would definitely recommend.
Well-maintained property that is away from everything with plenty of nature to enjoy. It’s just a quick ride to Houghton. You get the best of both worlds. Would definitely stay here again.
Nice cabin for 4 guys on a spring fishing trip. Bunk beds are a little small. Kitchen/ living room is spacious and comfortable. Quiet wooded location. Would definitely stay here on a return trip.

Thanks for the review! The bunks may seem small as they are so close together but they are twin xl. I hear ya though wish we had more room in those rooms. You should try out our Chalet or Perch cabin next stay:)
The location, cabin and environment were very peaceful. The property managers were prompt responding to any questions and were helpful. The cabin was clean and set up nicely. My boys had a blast in the lake kayaking and fishing (they were catching nice walleye). Couldn't recommend enough.

Thanks for visiting! Did you get any pics of the walleyes? There are some nice big ones in the lake! Hope to have you back!
What a great place this is! So much to do on the property alone. We were not expecting that. Our teens loved fishing and swimming in the lake. We were able to cookout. And everyone slept comfortably in the cabin. Everything was very clean. The communication with the owner was excellent. We would definitely stay here again ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
We were visiting our MTU son & wanted a place to relax after outdoor adventures. The walleye cabin was a perfect place for our family of 4 to relax by the fire, work & do homework (good WI-FI), cook, and play games.
The cabin was clean, well organized, & the beds & furniture were comfortable. And the view out to the aspens is beautiful. Michelle was easy to work with & accommodating when we needed to alter our plans.
We would recommend this cabin & hope to be back one day.
This was our third time visiting the walleye cabin and per usual, it did not disappoint. We always felt right at home. This place is a gem. Even though my cell phone had poor reception (which I am usually happy about), the wifi was strong enough to facilitate calls without hitch. We also appreciate the gifted maple syrup from the hosts. We are planning on returning again!

What a wonderful find! I planned a spur of the moment trip to visit my daughter at Michigan Tech. Five of us stayed very comfortably in the CLEAN cabin. We cooked and ate all of our meals there and had everything we needed—pots, pans, appliances, dishes. The weather was beautiful and we were able to open all of the windows to enjoy the fresh air. The fire pit is a nice size and located very close to the cabin, and firewood chopped and ready for a reasonable price. The host was quick at responding and was very attentive. We look forward to coming back after the lake is melted so we can enjoy some of the fun there. I love the serenity that this property has to offer. We will be back!
My family stayed here while visiting my oldest at college. It was very clean and kitchen and family room were very comfortable. The couch was just positioned right to play video games from the couch after dinner. My kids playing games with us.
Each morning when we woke up there were between 10-50 turkeys just outside the cabin. We went for a 2 mile hike and saw several deer on our hike. They also had a small apple orchard which we think helps to draw in the wild life. The orchard was nice while to walk through in the early snow fall.
The ONLY thing we had concern was with the comfort of two of the beds. They were two hard for us. This was a bummer.
This cabin was well worth the expense and the owners communicated with before, during and after our visit.

Hello, Thanks for the response! I apologize that 2 of the beds were to hard as they are new Sealy mattresses, the other 2 on the bunks are memory foam mattresses. Hope to have you return! -Michelle
Northwinds Adventures is amazing. We stayed (family of 5, 3 kids ages 13, 11, and 8) in the Walleye cabin. There was plenty of room, the kitchen had all the dishes, pans, and utensils you need. Bathroom was adequate and small bedrooms we didn't spend much time inside.
Firepit was nice and spaced privately from other cabins. There is firewood at each cabin for a reasonable price and it is dry, hardwood firewood.
The lake is excellent with 2 platforms to jump off of. The cost to use the nice paddleboards, kayaks, and canoes ($15/person for the stay) is a steal! The equipment available is great. We caught a couple walleye and a perch on the lake too. Paying for the watersports equipment and firewood is easy, just venmo the owner at the end of your stay.
The location is nice if you want to be just out of town and we strongly recommend heading to breakers for a sunset fire on the black sand beach.
Highly recommend Northwinds Adventure as a base camp for your Keweenaw trip.
This is our third time staying at this cabin. It’s perfect for a visit to Houghton. Well equipped. Cozy and warm. Relaxing way to visit our son at Michigan Tech, and have some home cooked meals for him to enjoy! Will stay many more times.
Son and his Husky friends hung out with us Saturday evening. Perfect amount of space for everyone. The cabin worked out great and we hope to have future stays there.
The cabin has a cozy feel without being cramped. We loved the wood fireplace, and our MTU son was able to stay with us one night. We even hosted another small MTU family for lunch before heading to do some hiking! Great location close to the college with the amenities of home!
We were pleasantly surprised by this property. Its somewhat secluded and very neat and clean. The best part was being able to sit on the deck or in front of the fire pit and have peace and quiet. I highly recommend this property! Its about a 16 minute drive to Michigan Tech, good distance without being too far.
