Perfect Space for Gathering

The location was perfect for accessing MTU campus for Winter Carnival activities while also providing a great open space for late nights of board and cards games as well as movies. The kitchen had everything we needed. Definitely hope to return in the summer and enjoy the outdoors more!

Great Stay!

The cabin was clean and tidy with all of the usual things you would need in the kitchen and bathrooms. I really appreciated the good internet and wifi signal in the cabin. The hosts were very easy to work with and I have NEVER had a smoother checkin and checkout experience. I appreciated the binder with information and the snowmobile map on the fridge with the best way to get to the trails.Thanks!

Upper Peninsula Vacation

Great time! Cabin had everything you could need. The huge sliding glass door looking out to the lake was very nice. Just sitting on the huge porch, listening to the water and watching for wildlife was exactly the vacation we were looking for.

Stunning, Relaxing and Perfect

This was better than we could imagine! Such a beautiful place. It was quiet, clean, plenty of things to do for all ages, and above all relaxing! There were a lot of activities to do in the surrounding area as well, which was nicely noted in the welcome binder. Michelle and Carl were fabulous! They were very responsive when we had any questions, polite and just very kind people. We can't wait to come back.

Great location for MTU events

We chose The Chalet for us 5 to stay for MTU graduation. This was a great relaxing place to be in between our events and short trips to Houghton. Highly recommend this or the other properties of Northwoods Adventure. Really enjoyed our last evening playing games with a nice fire in the fireplace too.

Relaxing vacation

We were looking for a relaxing, enjoyable place that was close to Lake Superior but not right on the lake. It was a perfect place that offered a quiet, secluded, beautiful cabin on a small lake where we could canoe, paddle board, fish and swim. Communication with the host was excellent. Would recommend this place to anyone going to the Houghton area.

Great Getaway

This cabin is great! Very clean and spacious. We loved sitting out on the deck overlooking the lake. The owners responded to our questions very quickly and were very nice. One minor downfall is not having a dishwasher. But not a huge deal and doesn't change the 5 star rating we gave. We would definitely come visit again. Thanks for having us!

About the host

Hosted by Carl & Michelle Treankler

Host profile image
The story begins with my husband's son attending Michigan Tech. After his first year he wanted to live off campus. Advising him to find a property that he could fix up and then possibly sell after he graduated, Carl's son began the hunt; but with many dead ends. When we told the realtor to open it up to see what was out there, this magnificent property came to light. Sitting on 220 acres, with a 10 acre lake, it was 'love' at first site. My husband purchased the property and 3 months later brainstormed the idea of starting an outdoor bible camp for high school kids, church groups, or sport teams. Already being a big supporter to Camp Luther, in Three Lakes, WI, Carl started the plan to make this area their base camp. With an old barn that hunters used stayed in, an old homestead, a 600 square foot cabin, and a double wide home residing on the property, it became clear there was much work to be done. Having the vision of creating something great, we began the construction of a pavilion, addition to cabin, and complete gut out of the barn. With these projects done, new ones continue to begin in transforming the property into a premiere camp for kids. Future projects consist of a welcome center, and additional camp sites, 3 more cabins.
The barn stands alone as it is a quarter mile away from the camp. Looking out from the upper deck on the barn, you can enjoy watching the geese fly in on the pond that also lies on the property. A great spot to watch some wildlife. The newly renovated double wide has been turned into a Love Palace Home, hence why we call it the LP and sits right on the private lake called Love Lake. The 2 newer built fish cabins (Walleye and Brook Trout) are tucked in a wooded area about 100 yards from the lake. The new rental, The Chalet is our previous house that was remodeled into a beautiful, warm home that will serve as a residence to our Camp Director in the summer months.

Bookings are on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis!

What makes this property unique

6 Miles from North Entry to the Canal and Lake Superior
5 Miles from Snowmobile/ATV Trails (Can ride shoulder of road for trails)

The Renters Beach! During the summer months when we host campers for the Keweenaw Base Camp, this beach will serve as our renters only beach on the lake. While the campers will enjoy the beach by pavilion, our renters can enjoy a private, sand beach with park style grills, picnic tables, and their own paddle boards/kayaks for rent.
