About this property

Charming Cottage in the heart of Portage Lake

This little gem is in the heart of Portage Lake, which is on the chain of 7 lakes. Fully updated recently, I wanted to make people feel like they were really at home with personal touches, vintage items and inviting cozy family friendly spaces.
Lake access is 500 feet from the cottage. We are also within walking distance (4 min.) of a pizzeria, village store/liquor store, brewery & cider house and ice cream shop. 3 minute drive, 10 minute walk, to the boat launch.

Property is tucked off the road with a shared driveway. Semi-private back and side yard is perfect for some corn hole or just sitting at the outdoor furniture socializing. Front of house has a new wrought iron rocking bench, just like grandma use to have. Inside is a cozy cottage that has everything you need and more to make some great memories. Use the sunroom for some cards or board games or head to the well stocked kitchen to whip up some family favorites. Bedrooms have top of the line linens and pillows. Master has reading lights on each side. Bunkbeds each have their own personal light and USB mounted on the post so there is no fighting over plug space or blocks. :)

I also provide a few starter items until you are able to get to the grocery. There are coffee pods, sugar and powdered creamer to get you going on your first morning. There are also a few laundry pods, fabric softener sheets and bleach if you need them. Cleaning disinfectant, paper towels, vacuum cleaner, broom, dustpan and laundry basket are also provided if needed. I hope to make your stay stress free and you feel the effort put forth to make it as homey, and above and beyond, of a stay possible. Thank you for checking out my little cottage, named Ruby.
