Houghton Canal Retreat

Welcome! Enjoy this private canal front property complete with sandy beach and spacious front yard. Relax by the fire or enjoy a meal on the provided picnic table. When the weather gets cooler, head into the large enclosed three season furnished front porch that overlooks the Portage Canal. This property is located four miles from the Houghton business strip on the Houghton Canal Road. It can sleep up to eight comfortably. Wake up with the sunrise and enjoy your coffee with beautiful views of the canal. After breakfast play a game of croquet or go for a refreshing swim. Guests have full access to the entire house. Kitchen is equipped with dishes, pots, pans, toaster, silverware, coffee pot, and microwave, in addition to the stove, refrigerator, and dishwasher. Washer and dryer available for use on site. Sheets, blankets, pillows, towels are included. Owners live nearby and can be reached by phone or text should any issue arise during your stay or to ask any questions regarding the local area. Take a tour of a copper mine at Quincy Mine, enjoy hiking, biking at the Nara Nature Trails, or explore local downtown shops and eateries only a few miles away. Bring your own boat or personal watercraft as there are two public boat launches within five miles. Our home is located on a private gravel road that has a moderately steep approach. In winter, we do get a lot of snow, so a four wheel drive is preferable. The entire house is available for your use. We have parking for three cars in front of the garage, but the garage itself is not for use. We cannot accommodate large snowmobile trailers on our property. The walkway located to the left of the garage is how you will access the home below.
