8 senior ladies rented this property for a golfing trip. It was very adequate as everyone had their own bed. The kitchen had what we needed if we were cooking meals. Beautiful view of Portage lake with plenty of outdoor chairs and tables. Golf courses nearby was an added bonus. This would be a great place for large family vacation.

February 2025 Weekend Getaway

This location was great for our weekend getaway. The lake view was beautiful, I’d imagine it’s even more impressive in the summertime! Large kitchen with plenty of seating, cozy living room area, & comfortable beds with extra blankets in the closets if needed.

Pinckney lake house

Very functional house with lots of beds, nice towels, full kitchen kit. Really nice views. A great place for our family group. It would have been nice if the fireplace was functioning during our stay but everything else was fine and worked well. We would like to stay in the summer and be able to enjoy the waterfront

Great property!! Great view!!

The house was beautiful. Great view and location. Lots of sitting area. Plenty of beds made for a comfortable setting for a 9 adult business retreat. Only downside was the internet was sluggish once all 9 had computers and phones on the internet service, however we were able to still accomplish our tasks. Will definite consider returning next year for our annual retreat.

Lake Portage bliss

The house is kept very tidy and clean with perfectly comfortable beds and furniture. The kitchen is well stocked with the essentials for cooking and the gas grill is a nice Weber unit with plenty of room to hangout and eat on the deck. The view of the lake and sunsets is just pure bliss. We could not have been more comfortable, at home feeling and satisfied. We will rebook there for our next trip witjout hesitation.

Girls weekend

The place was perfect for what we needed for a girls weekend getaway. The property was beautiful, and everything worked fine. I enjoyed kayaking on the lake with all the gear available. It’s well water downstairs so we brought bottled water. Water upstairs was best for bathing. Warning, there are signs from the neighbors protesting vacation rentals when you come in, but no one bothered us. Property manager was responsive. I would consider staying here again.

Fabulous large lake house

Fabulous home for our large family in town for a wedding from 6 different states. Nicely clean upon arrival, beds and all furniture were very comfortable, and common areas were very conducive to catching up with family. Communication was excellent and all Interactions with Joseph (host) were very positive and he went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. Appreciate the extra blankets in each bedroom closet, plenty of towels even for our large family, and the iron and ironing board. The lake view is stunning - given the opportunity we would absolutely stay at this home again!!

This is a beautiful location in Pickney on the lake, Joe was a very friendly host with excellent communication. He was very responsive with any questions we had. We were there for a very quick stay for two nights for a wedding in town, but would gladly come back for a much longer relaxing trip.

We've rented this house and Joe's other house on Baseline lake for 5 years. We've always been happy with the properties and Joe's availability to respond to any issues. What is unusual is the pontoon boats he has available for a reasonable rental price.

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property! The home was clean and nicely decorated with comfortable beds and lots of space for our family of seven! The house is situated on a big lot overlooking the best part of the lake. The host was friendly and helped make our stay great.
