About this apartment rental
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.

As mentioned in the listing the property is not much of a looker, BUT inside it is wonderful!
Very well equipped and a pleasure to come "home" to after a day full of activities. :)

Staying at this property was amazing! The location was incredibly convenient to access the downtown Hancock/Houghton area. The house itself is incredibly spacious, clean and an awesome hangout space! Check-in was incredibly fast and easy. The manager of the property responds in 5-10 minutes. I would definitely recommend staying here to others.

I can not recommend this property enough! It was so beautiful inside and every room was so spacious and decorated so nicely. The property was very clean and the bedding had crisp white sheets. It was a block away from a wonderful park that overlooked the portage. Also had fun trails to walk and so close to town and restaurants. We felt so at home and can’t not wait to stay again!

We loved this property! It's much bigger than it appears in the photos. The home is well stocked with quality kitchen wares, gorgeous furniture, and comfy beds & pillows. Our stay consisted of utilizing the house as a home base while we visited family, friends, and hit hit the beaches so the location was perfect!!!

The property and host were amazing! Stayed here for an event in Houghon with my parents and a couple friends. The walk across the bridge was super easy - did it several times. Also had our dog with us. Everything was super clean and inviting. The outside looks kind of like a business but it made for easy parking! Beds were comfortable and overall we just had great experience. Hope to be back soon!

This place was wonderful, highly recommended. I ended up staying just over a week and needed to extend for a few days. Luckily it was available and the owner was really responsive and helpful. It was truly a home away from home. Super comfortable, very clean, had everything we needed and we cooked every meal. We really loved this place. Would definitely come back here if we come to the area again!

This was our 2nd time staying here. Clean, roomy. Love the 3 bedrooms and 3 full baths. Walking distance to many great places in Hancock for dinner, drinks, breakfast and bakery items as well as shops. This was convenient for moving our son out of MTU. Also a very comfortable place for my husband and I to work remotely. We brought our dog and walked just down the road to Porvoo Park most mornings. Trails nearby that span for miles. Also, a dog park just a couple of miles away. Just a perfect stay!

The property was amazing. Each bedroom was clean and decorated nicely. The kitchen had everything we needed for family dinners. It was close to MTU as well.

My colleagues were very impressed with the cleanliness and renovations of this property. Our company was staying at this rental for the 2024 MTU Spring Career fair, and it was a wonderful choice! There was a lot of attention to detail in how it was designed and decorated, everything is new and fresh! The location is perfect when it comes to accessing all you need in town, which was definitely utilized! The parking was great for what was needed, which was a Ram 2500 diesel truck.
There aren't many improvements to suggest, however, one would be the baseboard heat was noisy, especially in the middle of the night. They only other downside was the one room is right next to a busy road (8-10 feet), which was loud on it's own. If a sound machine was used that could have help drown out the traffic sound.
Overall, it was a great place to stay and we would be happy to come back and stay there again! We will recommend it to others!

My husband and I stayed here while visiting our son at MTU. Our original plan was for 6 of us to stay and it was definitely roomy enough for 6 to stay comfortably.
The owners did a fantastic job of repurposing a commercial building into a spacious, yet cozy, home away from home. It was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and close to everything Hancock/Houghton.
This place is just as wonderful as it looks in the pictures. What you can't see in the pics is how well-stocked the kitchen is with pots, pans, cooking utensils, etc. We had everything we needed and more.
My favorite feature was the peek-a-boo view of the canal. It was lovely, especially with the autumn colors and the clear skies at night.
Overall, a great place to stay! We're looking forward to coming back.

This home is so beautiful on the inside, everything is modern and up to date. Very cozy, warm feeling, lots of parking, great neighborhood. Water is a block away. Hosts are a text away and just great to deal with. My family will be back

Overall we enjoyed this rental - it is very modern and spacious. We had 5 adults and our dog here for four nights. We made and ate most of our meals here since one of us has to be extremely careful to eat only gluten free foods and it was well equipped to prepare, cook and eat in. I recommend this to others.

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.

The house was immaculate and perfect for our long weekend dropping our son off at MTU.
Don’t let the lack of central air deter you. The A/C units in each bedroom were more than adequate to give you a nice cool night of sleep.

Great place to accommodate our family helping our daughter move into her house at Michigan Tech. Plenty of room, clean and nicely decorated with fun hockey history. Will definitely rent again! Owners very nice and helpful.

We visited Hancock for the first time with our pets and son who is in a wheelchair. We knew we would have to ramp down the step in the entryway so brought a small ramp with us. The rest of the place was very accessible! Wide doors, huge bedrooms and beautiful, incredible comfortable open design.
It is an urban location so set on a main road but there is a park right down the street and trail access to other parks.
We traveled the region for leisure but wish we had a college student in the area as it is a perfect fit for a family coming in to visit! Incredibly accommodating, pet friendly and (almost) wheelchair accessible!

This location was walking distance to downtown Houghton and a nice river walk as well.
