Perfect place

We were in town to celebrate Easter with our son, a Michigan tech student. The cabin was perfect for us to have Easter dinner and hang out with our family. It was a nice quiet property and the cabin had everything we needed. We hope to be back next year!

Great vacation

This home and surrounding property was beautiful and owners were great. Excellent communication. Close enough to a town for your basic needs and restaurants but location feels secluded. Great experience!

Great cabin and overall property!

We stayed at the Love Palace cabin in early July and really enjoyed ourselves. The cabin was very clean and the perfect size for our family of five. We had plenty of space for local family to visit without feeling cramped. We loved the direct private lake access which kept our kids entertained especially given the amenities (beach, floating diving platforms, equipment rentals, and basketball court). The outdoor firepit was great as well. A few things that could make a stay even more enjoyable would be the addition of a dishwasher (spent quite a bit of time hand washing dishes), providing bedding for the twin bunk beds (an inconvenience for a traveler given the low cost to provide as part of the rental), and providing charcoal for the grill. All relatively minor in the grand scheme, but just a few things that could really enhance the ease of a stay! :)

Excellent stay at Northwinds Adventure at the "Love Palace"...Plenty of room for the family to relax and hang out, play games, etc...Kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals...wifi worked great...plenty of towels in the bathrooms...fireplace was a bonus, too cold to spend time outside, so I cannot speak to lake/beach amenities, about a 10 minute drive to MTU...overall great stay, would recommend, would stay again.

Comfortable cabin

A few more amenities would have been nice. Shampoo, body wash, salt and pepper, coffee but overall a wonderful place to stay! Not a big deal. A mid weight blanket would be nice in the summer. Coffee machine was a bit leaky and one side of the toaster didn’t work. Nothing major at all. The lake and facility was a beautiful and peaceful retreat to connect with old friends. The owners were wonderful and Kris is fantastic.

Beautiful Cabin - authentic UP North

Great cabin, awesome up north feel with a perfect amount of space for a large group. Very clean, nicely furnished and it was everything we needed. The only (very slight) negative is, without good snow it’s a bit tough to get to the snowmobile trails, I blame that on Mother Nature. Lol.

Perfect Family Getaway

We loved the cabin and peaceful lake. It was perfect for our family of 6. If we weren't enjoying the lake or the nearby sites, we were inside playing games and completing a puzzle. Definitely a place we would return to.

Great trip to Houghton for MTU hockey camp.

Close to everything in town/MTU. Nice clean, private cabin. Kids enjoyed the lake and adults enjoyed quiet, relaxing evenings on the porch and along the lake. Cabin had everything needed for a nice week in the UP.

It was a great cabin and fun to have the beach on the small lake for the kids to play. It worked well as a middle ground to explore the UP.

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 high/low ropes course, zip line, frisbee golf, basketball court, welcome center, and additional camp sites.
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.

Bookings are on a FIRST COME, FIRST SERVE basis!

Why they chose this property

With many apple trees on the property, you can go out and pick apples then enjoy making your very own apple pie or cider.

The 10 acre lake provides great catch and release fishing of brook trout, rainbow trout, brown trout, and walleye. Oh, and did I mention the name of the lake is called 'Love Lake.'

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.
