Hancock is a compact, historic Keweenaw Peninsula town on Portage Lake with a lively outdoorsy vibe—waterfront trails, easy access to Lake Superior scenery, winter sports, local breweries and a small-but-creative dining and arts scene—perfect for comfortable, interesting multi-week stays.
You’re also minutes from Houghton (home to Michigan Tech) for more dining, nightlife and cultural events, with nearby Calumet offering mining history and additional trails—so there’s plenty to do year‑round and you won’t feel stuck.
