Beautiful spot
Spotlessly clean, modern furniture, large bathroom, comfortable beds with cotton sheets (not the polyester so many places are using). BBQ and deck, view of lake, quiet neighborhood. Would absolutely book again! Park ranger programs in Calumet are fantastic, we spent the better part of a day there; if you’re a history buff this is your place! Women’s art cooperative a great spot for one of a kind gifts. Several nice restaurants.

Great house! Friendly and helpful owners. Everything we needed - WiFi, dock for fishing, kayaks, paddle boards, great shower, full kitchen, comfy beds. Spent time doing a fishing charter out of Dockside Resort in Gay, took scenic drives to Eagle Harbor and River, Fitzgeralds for lunch, Fletchers Otter Belly for ice cream, FJ McLain State park, Shutes and Carmelitas in Calumet and of course Dreamland.

Loved this cabin on the water for our couple’s trip. Lake is gorgeous! Tried a little fishing off the dock but no luck. Commutes to town take a little while, but the drives were beautiful. Thank you!

Quiet and relaxation
The property was a wonderful escape - we spent a week up here while my daughter was at MTU summer camp. The views are spectacular, the beds are comfy, there is plenty of space to spread out, and everything we needed was so close. The WiFi was strong enough for me to work remotely during the mornings, and the dock, deck, and couches were the perfect spots to spend the afternoon reading.

Perfect quiet getaway
We loved this place! On a quiet road and beautiful lake. We enjoyed morning coffee on the deck and fishing off the dock in the evening. The perfect place to just escape for a few days.

So happy we found this home
We’ve stayed at many rentals over the years while visiting our daughter at MTU, and this one is definitely at the top of our list. The home sits right on the Portage with a large dock and deck—perfect for enjoying the peaceful setting and beautiful sunset views. We saw all kinds of wildlife during our stay, including waterfowl, deer, and even a bear that crossed the road a few miles from the house!Inside, the home was spotless and very comfortable. The bathroom was spacious and modern with a clean, tiled walk-in shower and more than enough towels. I really appreciated the thoughtful extras you don’t always find in other rentals—coffee and hot chocolate pods for the Keurig, plenty of toilet paper and paper towels, and even access to cleaning supplies. The washer and dryer were also a great bonus.You can tell the owners truly care about this home. They've created a welcoming, well-stocked, and worry-free space to relax. We’d definitely stay here again!

Serene Waterfront Getaway with Stunning Sunsets
We recently stayed in this beautiful waterfront cabin, and it was the perfect escape! The sunsets over the lake were absolutely breathtaking, and we loved spending our days playing in the water. The cabin was well-equipped with all the necessary appliances for cooking and dining, and the bathroom was stocked with fresh towels and had hot water, which was a nice plus.
The only minor drawback was the bedroom air conditioner, which was a bit noisy at night. It didn’t detract too much from our experience, but it could definitely use some attention. Additionally, having a backup power generator would be a great addition.
Overall, it was a peaceful and relaxing stay, and we would definitely consider returning!

Dreamland indeed
This is a fantastic little cottage that was perfect for our needs. Helped move our son into MTU and decided to make a mini vacation out of it. The cottage is super comfortable with a large bathroom with huge walk in shower, laundry, comfy beds, just great !
I caught 5 fish off the beautiful large dock including a really nice pike. Only thing I found myself wanting for was a fishing boat or pontoon to rent.
If you want utter peace and solitude in the most beautiful part of Michigan look no further.

Lake Linden
We love staying at this property. It’s right on the lake and has everything you need. The owners live next door and if you need anything or have questions they are happy to help.
This home was a little gem for our family, it offered the perfect get away. It was quiet, beautiful sunsets. Our kids loved fishing of the doc. The location was great! The hosts were sweet and easy to communicate with. We are looking forward to next summer already.
