Wonderful!

Everything about our stay was great! Beautiful lake house! Hosts were great about checking in! Location was perfect. Fall was beautiful to look at the lake with all the colors of leaves chafing. Can’t wait to come back during some warm summer months and enjoy the lake.

Great stay

We really enjoyed our stay. The view can’t be beat and we used the fire pit one evening and it was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked. We enjoyed st Ambrose and iron fish distillery one day. We went on a lovely hike in manistee. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Tim and Kristen Padgett

We have been coming to Portage Lake our whole lives. We have always dreamed of owning property on this lake, and finally found it! We bought this cottage in 2019 and completely renovated it. We're looking forward to making family memories over the years, and hope you enjoy it as well.
