The kitchen was completely stocked with everything you would need and then some as was the bathroom. Every little detail has been remembered. The beds were very comfortable and we slept very well. Coming from someone who can't sleep in a bed, that's saying something. There was no A/C but there were fans and there was a very nice cross breeze throughout the apartment. The restaurant downstairs was YUMMY! and super convenient. We just really loved this little place. BTW, the price was very reasonable."

- "Everything about our stay was wonderful." - "This was by far the best place we have stayed in the area. We come up every year to visit family and this year we had an extra visitor with us, as we brought our toddler for his first visit. We knew we needed something spacious and private. This was both and beyond. The place was so clean and cozy on top of it. The ammenities were over and above. We wish we had a longer stay so we could enjoy more of what the property had to offer. Kudos for offering a toddler swing, we found time to use it for a moment inbetween family events. We hope to be back! Highly recommend this property for families!"

The Portage Centre is spacious, perfect for entertaining & tastefully remodeled to pay tribute to the area’s rich ice hockey tradition.i

The Portage Centre is the foremost destination for adventure seekers, & large families as it sits at the gateway to the Keweenaw, & is located just steps from the famed Jack Stevens snowmobile trail and Portage Canal.

The building has a long history as The General Glass Company, but the owners recently purchased the building to create the Portage Centre. The Portage Centre is a fully remodeled 3 bed/3 bath luxury home. The guest area consists of the entire 1750 sf main floor while the basement was retained by the owner for storage, caretaker apartment and is inaccessible to guests.

While staying at The Portage Centre, guests do not share spaces or amenities with anyone else. The property is located along Hancock Street (US41) and is in the middle of everything. If you are a light sleeper there is a chance the traffic noise could wake you in the front bedroom. The Master bedroom is located in the rear of the building and traffic will not affect most sleepers. That said, we are in the middle of everything and you can walk to most everything in downtown Houghton and Hancock!

A portion of all bookings will be donated to support local youth hockey.

- "Nice big parking lot to unload ATVs. Very busy street but knew that ahead of time. Very clean and very nice home." - "We were moving our son into Michigan Tech and brought grandma along. This place was perfect for us. Our son could just pop back and forth from campus as needed. Everything is on one level, no stairs even at entry. This was great for grandma and anyone with mobility issues. Showers are walk-in and there are 3 full bathrooms which made it very convenient. Location is great! We walked to Millie’s…drove to Roy’s but you could walk across the bridge. Just down the hill is Porvoo park with a fantastic view of the Lift Bridge. This place is newly finished and very clean and modern. We will be staying again."

Thank you!" - "We were in Houghton for the weekend for ski races and needed a dog friendly place to stay where we could get good sleep and have a good breakfast to start the day. This fit our needs, was clean and quiet as well. Thank you!" - "We travelled here for a tour of MTU for our son. We enjoyed learning about the building/apartment that was once a part of Houghton’s smelting history. The building owner was great when we thought we had an issue with the cable (our lack of being tech savvy). He even stopped by to assist us. Would recommend to anyone who has dogs and needs a place to stay in the area."

- "We were in awe once we opened the door to this place. Great for just the two of us. It had everything we needed and was very clean. We really liked the box lights for added light effects and the bed was very comfortable too. Nice shower and layout. Easy access to downtown. Parking was never a problem for us. " - "The apartment was very cute and stylish. A great repurpose of an industrial building. We enjoyed being in downtown Houghton and being able to walk to restaurants, stores and bars.
