The property is even more beautiful in person than it is in the pictures. The lake is just steps away from the spacious deck, which included multiple seating / conversation areas. This home is perfect for a romantic getaway, a family vacation, or a fun girls trip! Tim and Kristen were great hosts, easy to communicate with, and very responsive. 10/10 would recommend!

Our 2nd year and we LOVE it here! Portage Lake is just out the door and it’s great for swimming and fishing. The house is always clean, communication with the owners is answered promptly and the extras like kayaks and water toys are a bonus. We’ve reserved for the next 2 years and will continue to do so as long as we can.
