About this property
Belle Vie on Portage Lake great for families or groups of friends
Enjoy Portage Lake and all the Huron River Chain of Lakes has to offer in this beautiful new home.
In the summer enjoy swimming right off the shore from our small private beach or right off the dock into the sandy shallow bay that extends out 50 yards from the shore. Perfect for kids to safely enjoy swimming in the lake. Floats, water toys, and sand toys are yours to enjoy. Launch your boat at the DNR boat launch just down the road. Enjoy exploring the chain of 7 lakes with great swimming, sandbars, and fishing.
Great for 1-2 families or a group of friends to enjoy a summer week having fun in the sun
Convenient location with Riverside pizza, Ore Creek Brewery, Nauti MI Ice Cream Shop / Canoe Rental, and a small grocery/liquor store right across the street from the house.
Just 15 minutes from Downtown Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan. Just 7 minutes to wonderful Downtown Dexter.
In the colder months its an ice fishermans paradise. Walk right out from the dock onto the ice and set up your shanty as far out on the lake as you can go and have the comfort of a warm house to thaw out in.

About the host
Hosted by Amanda Feldmann
I grew up in the Ann Arbor area and have lived in many different parts of the Metro Detroit area.
Why they chose this property
I grew up in Ann Arbor spending summers on the Portage Lake chain of lakes. My Dad grew up in Dexter and lived on Whitmore Lake for years. Between my summers and his time on Whitmore I fell in love with the chain of lakes and had to have a summer cottage there. My husband and I work in downtown Detroit so we live further east to be close to work and spend time with our family instead of in the car but in the summer we spend many nights and weekends loving life on the lake!
What makes this property unique
With my young children, this part of Portage Lake is perfect. They can walk right in from the shore and the shallow bay is perfect for us to swim together. Because it's shallow it isn't as busy and we don't get the water sports right next to our place, but can head out further into the lake if we want to have that kind of fun. It's so convenient having Riverside pizza, Ore Creek Brewing, Nauti MI Ice Cream and the liquor/grocery store right across the street. We are very close to great fishing spots to take the kids as well. The view of the lake especially on summer night sunsets is just breathtaking. I love the variety the chain of lakes provides and having the yacht club on our lake for sailing or heading up for a nice meal is very convenient. The proximity to downtown Dexter and Ann Arbor is great for a nice summer night out.
