Quiet on a beautiful lake
Cabins are small and rustic but very clean. Boats (small motors, kayaks and canoe) for use by guests allow a leisurely tour around the peaceful Otter Lake. Picnic table plus campfire ring right on the lakeshore. Cabins are about 30 minutes from Houghton/Hancock. Host is excellent; available but not intrusive. Will definitely visit again!

Cabin on a beautiful lake
The cabin was equipped with all the essentials. The beds were very comfortable- better than in many hotels. The cabin came with use of rowboats and kayaks- SUPs also available- on a clean large lake. All way better than expected for the price.

Fall color at Otter Lake
Had a wonderful visit to a place I first visited many years ago. The cabins are well appointed, comfortable, and very cozy. Christine, the owner, has lovingly maintained this beautiful property on the shore. A perfect fall retreat for me, Kirsten, and the pups!

Fall Foliage Trip
We were looking for a little change of scenery since traveling during 2020 left us feeling a little uncomfortable. The cabin was a perfect spot to spend the nights as we drove through the Keweenaw Peninsula and Porcupines for Fall Color. Cabin was clean and adequately equipped for cooking simple meals. Very centrally located yet far enough from towns to be quiet. We did not use the lake but imagine it would be enjoyable in better weather. The cabin itself is compact, adequate for 2. Christine was very welcoming as a host.

Our wedding
Manninen cabins is one of THE BEST places to stay at. We held our wedding ceremony there and the owner went above and beyond her call of duty to make sure everything was perfect for us. We rented all the cabins for our wedding party and we will for sure be back again. I would recommend this place for your stay!

Best place to stay in the Keweenaw Penisula!
Christine is an amazing host that is very accommodating! We stayed over Labor Day weekend and had an amazing time. Although we weren’t at the cabin much, there were all the amenities you could need right there. The cabin had a very cute rustic charm, and outdoors the view was incredible. Christine also has lots of water toys available. This was the perfect place to stay for us, we really enjoyed that it was dog friendly. Great location, better view, and the best host we could ask for. We look forward to staying again!

Wonderful time!
I had a great time in my little cabin! It’s perfect for one person and a medium size dog. The bathroom might be tough for someone extremely tall — it’s very compact — but it was fine for me. However the super bonus is the Finnish sauna. I wish I’d used it more! The lake was beautiful and it was very quiet. Christine was extremely accessible. I couldn’t say enough good things!

Lovely quiet off the grid vacay!
We had the most wonderful time at Manninens cabins! Christine was kind and beyond accommodating. The lake was lovely and we enjoyed kayaking/paddleboarding and swimming. The cabin was definitely cozy and rustic; we brought some cute lights and blankets to make it a little more glamp-y :) will definitely be back! It was amazing!
