About this property
5 Bedroom Portage Lake Family Getaway
We purchased this home in the spring of 2013. It is large but comfortable and located on a beautiful piece of property overlooking Portage Lake. This 3,600 square foot ranch home features five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two large living areas. It can comfortably accommodate two families with kids, three or four couples or five singles privately. For entertainment the home has a puzzle table, tons of games, books & DVD's, a pool table, a shuffleboard table, a large screen TV with Apple TV and WiFi.
Portage Lake is an all-sport lake that is connected to Lake Michigan through a channel. Portage lake is great for sailing, fishing, motorized and non-motorized boating, swimming and watching the sunset. We have two stand up paddles boards, one two person kayak and 3 single kayaks that renters are welcome to use.
Home is located 5 miles North of the Little River Casino. In the winter it is about 45 minutes from Caberfae Peaks and 30 minutes from Crystal Mountain for skiing, close to snowmobile & cross country ski trails, on a great lake for ice fishing and close to many charming towns filled with wonderful restaurants and shops. In the summer is is close to many great Lake Michigan Beaches and within 30 minutes of many quaint waterfront towns & villages, wineries, antique shops, art galleries, hiking trails and museums. Less than 30 minutes from amazing golf courses, including Arcadia Bluffs (9 miles), Manistee National (15 miles) and Wolf River Golf Park (5 miles). About an hour drive to the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore or Traverse City. There is so much to do in this area!
Towels, linens and basic paper products are provided. All bathrooms have basic toiletries for your convenience. Due to the old septic system guests are to use toilet paper, dish soap and laundry detergent provided. Guests are welcome to use spices and condiments but please replace anything that you use all of. All mattresses and pillows are encased in a hypoallergenic covers.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Angela & David
My husband and I live in the Grand Rapids when we are not at our favorite place. We are both Michigan natives and love the state we live in!
Why they chose this property
When we were younger and newly married we rented a little tiny cabin located next the boat launch and park in town. We fell in love with the lake and the area and vowed that one day we would have a place of our own. In May of 2013 that dream came true and we purchased a home on the lake.
What makes this property unique
The home is situated on the end of a peninsula of land the large lawn has almost 300 feet of lake and channel frontage. The channel and lake are usually calm and ideal for paddle boarding, kayaking, fishing and bird watching. The back yard is protected from the wind coming off Lake Michigan and it feels so much warmer on cool days. The sea wall has several cleats and bumper strips for your boat and/or jet skis. In the spring the bass spawn around the sea wall and it is fun to catch and release a “whopper”.
