Host profile image

Our family has been vacationing in Onekama for four generations. We have never seen a more perfect setting. Both lakes provide such unique offerings and to have them both within minutes is what really makes this area unique. Where else can you watch the sun rise on one lake and set on another within a half mile? What we love the most about the area is the fact that once you have experienced Onekama, you always seem to come back. Year after year and generation after generation, this is the place to make family memories.

What makes this property unique

The knotty pine interior of this cottage, along with its picture windows and large sitting room, make this a cozy family retreat. The master bedroom and bathroom have recently been repainted and all of the dishes are brand new. There is a patio space between this cottage and the dollhouse that is perfect for a small grill. The front porch offers views of Portage Lake and the historic Portage Point Inn.
