About this property

Water lovers Dream-Newly renovated! Gorgeous modern updates with a rustic flare!

Enjoy this newly updated cabin with a gorgeous new kitchen that keeps some flare of rustic with modern amenities. This adorable cabin, with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath is just 6 miles from Lake Linden and 1.2 miles from Dreamland Restaurant and Bar.

Enjoy 60 ft of lake front with a private dock with a large over the water sitting area for your personal enjoyment whether for swimming, boating, kayaking, paddle boarding, fishing or the gorgeous sunsets-the water fun is endless!! Plenty of room for pets, just ask they do biz roadside, not waterside(kills grass) and must be picked up after.

Just off Chipmunk Trail for quick access to trails for walking and biking.

If you want a boat, just let us know and we can have a small 14ft boat with motor available for rent for 25.00 per 24hrs-includes one tank of gas for each 24hrs. (All operators will need a tutorial and must be over 21 to use. Anyone under 21 must be accompanied by an adult.) Can even supply some tackle and rods, just let us know. You can always bring your own boat or jet skis if you wish and launch in Lake Linden and keep at the 74ft dock which can accommodate up to approx 18ft boat since water is fairly shallow.

There is a 16ft Grumman canoe/paddles available, with four adult life jackets, as well as two sea kayaks and a paddle board for your enjoyment free of charge-use at your own risk. 30 AMP RV service is also available at 25.00 a day if you have visitors needing to stay that have their own rig. Come enjoy the beauty of the U.P. Experience the adventures and sites the Keweenaw has to offer!

Immaculately Clean Magical Camp on the Water.

We enjoyed our 4 night stay in this small cabin. The owner pays attention to every detail to make a clean and comfortable stay. It has the feel of a magical hobbit hole with dainty windows and cozy furniture. All necessities were provided.

Cabin was delightful. It was super clean, outfitted with absolutely everything needed for our stay. We cooked all of our meals in the kitchen. Slept soundly in the comfy bed. Kiersten was a good friendly neighbor but not nosy or “too close.” We had use of a motor boat, kayaks & fishing gear. She & husband, Tom have updated the rustic log cabin into something very special. Decorated cozy & “Up North.” She went so far as to offer us another nights’ lodging when our plans for the next stay evaporated… Gratitude! Brava! Thank you!!

The Hosts live next door and they're very welcoming. The cabin is on the lakefront. 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. There is a boat available that you can use for gas money. They even gave us bait. Very nice for two couples and our dogs.

My week at Lake Linden

The cabin was cozy, cute and everything we needed. We saw waterfalls, hiked,Delaware mine, good food. Thimbleberry margaritas in Calumet and just plain relaxing. We didn't take advantage of the lake but it was nice to look at.

Everything about our stay was wonderful! We loved getting to know Kierstin and Tom - they were so friendly, informational, and helpful with tons of tips around the area. The surrounding area is stunning and relaxing. Sitting on the dock in the early morning and watching the sunset in the evening!! The home is sweet and cozy. Highly recommend!! Should we ever return to the Keweenaw Peninsula, we would absolutely stay here again. 10/10!

Cozy cabin in the UP

We enjoyed this cozy cabin on Portage Lake near Calumet. It was nice to have access to a boat for fishing and kayaks which we took advantage of. Good leaping off point to explore the rest of the Keweenaw Peninsula.

Amazing cozy cabin on a lake

I highly recommend staying at this cabin! It's clean and a very nice spot just to relax by the lake awesome sunset views and star gazing from the chairs they have setup on the dock! My kids had a blast swimming every day and the hosts Tom and Kierstin are the best very friendly people and they made sure we had everything we needed and they even did some extra stuff for us that they didn't have too. Thank you both for the best vacation my family and I have had in years!

We were able to spend some time with our MTU Husky and take in some beautiful sites. A little chilly to use the outdoor amenities, but would be great in the summer.

About the host

Hosted by Kierstin and Tom Waara

Host profile image
Tom was born here, left for college and returned in 1995 with his wife, Kierstin, who was born and raised in Alaska. They each have their own businesses in the area along with the cabin rental.

What makes this property unique

We accept dogs. Plenty of room. Just ask they do biz on the road side, not the water/grassy side as it kills grass and always picked up after. Always keep them leashed or tethered as other dogs are in the area. Trees available for runners. Don't use cabin as a kennel and leave pets unattended for long periods of time.
