About this property

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.

Great Thanksgiving

The house is decorated adorably, very peaceful setting and the host Amanda couldn't have been any nicer with suggestions on where to eat on Thanksgiving night plus things to do around the neighborhood. We had an amazing stay. I highly recommend this property for anybody who wants to enjoy the view of a Lake and time with friends or family.

Michigan football game

We had a wonderful stay in this house. The decor was beautiful and the house was very clean. It working perfect for our family of 5 and the location was great for heading to the game by day and spending time looking at the water by evening. We will likely stay here again when we come up for a game. Highly recomend this property!

A great retreat

We all loved our stay at this beautiful, cozy retreat. The place was very clean and communication with Margaret was great. Our group included our two grown sons and a daughter-in-law and it was really nice that there were not only three bedrooms, but three bathrooms as well. Everything was very nicely done! We used the kayaks and the paddle boat--a fun way to explore the lake. The surrounding area and drive to this home was so pretty and wooded, and helped us to relax even before arriving. It was less than 30 minutes to Ann Arbor on back roads--we loved not having to get back on the highway, but it is an option if you'd prefer. We appreciated having the shops across the street--each one filling a niche with one being very convenient for forgotten items, another a great source for ice cream and lots of cute and creative, fun items and another a convenient source for good pizza (and a great Caesar salad!) An afternoon spent in nearby Dexter was a fun time of exploring, with shop owners being so friendly and welcoming. We loved everything about our stay and hated to leave.

About the host

Hosted by Margaret 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.
