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.

Pets, parties, large gatherings, fireworks, smoking or vaping in the house are not permitted.

A little piece of heaven
The home is so beautifully decorated and homeowners are absolutely wonderful to work with. Our family has stayed here several times over the past years and are absolutely IN LOVE with the property. There is so much room to sprall out and not be under each others feet... (which is wonderful when you have multiple teenagers in your group!) Game tables, games, puzzles, outdoor games and a fun filled stocked bookcase of movies are perfect for down time. Home is situated on a peaceful outlet of Portage Lake. It truly is majestic and relaxing. I cannot put into words how wonderful this home is... Our family calls this our "Favorite home away from home"...
