About this property
Lakefront Retreat: Hot Tub, SUPs & Speakeasy
Sunrise Vista is the kind of place where everyone exhales a little deeper the moment they arrive. Mornings begin with sunlight on the water and coffee shared without rushing. Days unfold together, free from schedules, and evenings naturally gather everyone back in one place. It’s a home designed for connection, where conversations linger, laughter comes easily, and time slows down. If you’re looking to get away, reset, and truly relax together, Sunrise Vista offers that space.
Located directly on the peaceful shores of Porters Lake, this upscale lakefront home blends comfort with the easy rhythm of lake life. Porters Lake is a large, scenic freshwater lake spanning over 75 acres, offering plenty of open water while still feeling calm and uncrowded. It’s ideal for swimming, paddling, fishing, and quiet time on the water.
The home offers approximately 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. There are three bedrooms, including a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with four queen-size bunks. Each bedroom includes a smart TV, ceiling fan, phone charging station, room-darkening shades, and a sound machine to support restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Two full bathrooms are fully stocked with plush towels and premium toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup washcloths, and a blow dryer, making it easy to settle in without overpacking.
The fully equipped kitchen is designed for shared meals and relaxed mornings. It features modern appliances, a gas stove with a built-in air fryer, and generous prep space. A dedicated coffee bar includes a dual coffee maker, French press, and a starter supply of coffee, teas, and syrups. A waffle station with mix and toppings is also provided and is a guest favorite.
The main living room offers a large, comfortable sectional for gathering, while the bright sunroom provides additional seating, a pull-out sofa, and a game table with peaceful lake views. Bluetooth speakers are available so you can enjoy music throughout the home.
Downstairs, the game room offers entertainment for all ages, including pool, foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, Pac-Man arcade, air hockey, giant Connect 4, and ring toss. An electric fireplace and large smart TV make it a cozy space for movie nights and winding down together.
For guests who enjoy staying active, the fitness room includes free weights, a cable machine, an exercise bike, and yoga mats.
Families traveling with little ones will appreciate the baby-friendly setup designed to make packing easier. The home includes a portable crib with sheets and blankets, a changing pad, baby bath, high chair, stroller, and a selection of toys to help younger guests feel comfortable and at home.
Sunrise Vista is also dog friendly. We know fur babies are part of the family and deserve a vacation too. A pet fee applies, and we ask that guests review the house rules to ensure a comfortable stay for everyone.
Outdoor living is where Sunrise Vista truly shines. Guests enjoy private lake access with a dedicated pier that’s perfect for swimming, fishing, or simply sitting with your feet in the water. Porters Lake is known for recreational fishing, with species such as bass, bluegills, crappies, and northern pike commonly found in the lake. A large lily pad is provided for floating and relaxing on the water during warmer months.
Evenings can be spent gathered around the firepit, with firewood provided, or enjoying meals outdoors using the propane grill and flat-top grill. Hammocks offer a peaceful place to unwind, and bird feeders around the property make this a favorite spot for birdwatchers. The hot tub is available year-round, offering a relaxing way to end the day in any season.
Seasonal lake amenities, including kayaks, paddleboards, a pedal boat, and the lily pad, are available from late April through October, weather permitting.
Sunrise Vista is ideal for guests seeking a quiet, upscale lakefront retreat where connection, relaxation, and shared time together are the focus.

We really had a good time at this home with our 3 young boys. Easy check in/out. We ended up renting the pontoon boat and using that quite a bit.

We had a fantastic time at sunrise vista. Check-in was super easy and the place was even better than advertised. View in the mornings was amazing and access to the lake was great with all the amenities available and used. Kayaking, paddle boarding, boats. The entertainment room kept us busy in the evenings and we played games and watched movies every night. 10 out of 10!

We had an amazing stay with two families and our dogs in this thoughtfully designed, activity-filled lake house that perfectly balanced fun family time and relaxing adult moments—highly recommend and we’ll definitely be back.
We stayed here with two families plus our dogs, and the house could not have been more perfect. It was spacious, comfortable, and incredibly thoughtful in every detail. The kids were obsessed with the hot cocoa bar, the adults loved the adorable coffee bar, and everyone was all-in on the waffle bar.
We had such great family time—playing games in the basement, hanging out together—but there was also plenty of room for the kids to entertain themselves while the adults enjoyed quiet mornings on the porch with coffee, looking out at the lake. It was truly the best of both worlds.
We had an amazing time and will absolutely be back. Highly recommend!

A Sigh of Relief
As soon as your exit your vehicle you've entered a new world. A world that feels still and wraps you in a quiet, warm hug. The space is absolutely beautiful and more than I expected. There's so much attention to detail to create a home away from home feel. From lounging in the sunroom, having breakfast overlooking the lake, to hanging in the basement in front of the fireplace , you simply won't want to leave. Book this place fast!
A very well maintained, clean, great location house. The owner has thought of everything you could possibly need/want for your vacation. The game room was awesome for a couple of bad weather days we had.

We’re so happy the home had everything you needed for a memorable vacation and would love the chance to host you again!
Not many places have amazing pictures that don’t come close to doing it justice. This place was amazing for my family and a friend’s family. If you want a place to relax and unwind, this is it. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to enjoy the lake life.

Your recommendation is the highest compliment, and we’d love to welcome you back anytime for more lake life memories!
We really enjoyed our stay at Sunrise Vista! Communication and check in/out were great. The property is remote and has direct access to the lake. We used the paddle boards and kayaks daily. We also took advantage of the pontoon rental and had fun swimming in the middle of the lake. A couple afternoons we had rain, so the adults and kids had a great time with the basement games (pool, ping pong, shuffle board, etc). Every night we ended with a bonfire! Thanks Eric and Becky for a great week!

Thank you so much for staying with us at Sunrise Vista! I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed the lake and were able to make use of the paddle boards, kayaks, and the pontoon—it really is the perfect setup for soaking in summer days. Even the rainy afternoons sound like a win with everyone enjoying the basement space! We truly appreciate you choosing our place and would love to welcome you back anytime.
We had a wonderful stay at Sunrise Vista on Porter’s Lake! The property was amazing big and everything inside was well thought out and organized. We enjoyed swimming, boating, kayaking, and fishing off the dock! We loved hanging outside around the bonfire pit and taking in as much fresh air as we could. The cottage is spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed playing games in the basement on some rainy evening. Overall we had a great family vacation!

Beautiful location! Super friendly and helpful hosts. Very responsive even came out to fix the hot tub for us! Loved the house and all the games and activities. Really loved the sitting area out by the fire. Only tiny negative is the basement floor must not be level (just how old houses are) cause rhe pool table isn't level. A tiny thing when you have all the other pluses!!! Would definitely stay here again! We loved that they had an old school Nintendo game for us to play!!! So much fun!

Thank you so much for the kind words! I’m so glad you loved the house and all the games—especially the old school Nintendo! That one brings back all the nostalgia and is always a hit. Happy to hear you enjoyed the firepit area too—it’s one of our favorite spots to unwind. And thank you for the note about the pool table—we totally agree, some of that old lake house charm comes with a little character! Appreciate you being so understanding, and I’m really glad we could get the hot tub up and running for you. Thanks again for staying with us!
We just stayed for 5 days with our 4 kids 8 and under and had a wonderful time even with some hit or miss weather. The home and property has literally every amenity you could need. Lots of baby stuff and dog items which was super helpful and eliminated the need to pack everything. I like to cook and the kitchen was well stocked and they even had a spice rack which was wonderful. We had some rain and we were able to play board games with the kids, used the stand up paddle boards and the paddle boat. Caught quite a few bass while we were there and the kids enjoyed catching and releasing turtles lol. The home is beautiful and the owners were so thoughtful. Definitely 5 stars

We just left & all I can say is WOW! We just spent the week & had the most incredible time! This house is not only set up for fun outside, but has lots of things to do in case there is a rainy/chilly inside day. Our kids loved the basement so much! We had lots of good weather & soaked up the sun in the kayaks, the pontoon, the paddle boards, the hot tub & the peddle boat! Lots of amazing fishing, too! The house is set up for everything - lots of extra blankets, fully stocked kitchen, which was great considering we cooked every meal at the house, extra toiletries in case we forgot something, beach towels, etc! They really didn’t miss anything! PLUS, it’s adorable!
Thank you for creating such an amazing space for people to enjoy, we can’t wait to come back!!

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we look forward to welcoming you and your family back for another fabulous stay:)

This location was perfect for our family get together. I love that there were no neighbors very close by and that I didn’t have to worry about my adult children making too much noise. There’s not a single thing that I felt we could’ve used or anyway they could make the experience any better than they did. Becky and Eric Had so many little extras that just added to the comfort of the weekend. We enjoyed the pontoon boat on the no wake lake. I think we were the only boat on the lake, it was beautiful. There were so many extra games that entertained every person of ever age. The kitchen was appropriately stocked. And big enough to feed a crowd. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with our family.

The house is clean with no cobwebs or odors, and the house rules are sensible, allowing for relaxation.There's fun for all ages in the well-appointed game room with billiards, ping pong, air hockey, and board games, perfect for family bonding.

There’s abundant wildlife, including turtles, loons, and eagles.

The hot tub and lovely yard enhance outdoor enjoyment.The beds are comfortable. The bunk room has four queen beds, perfect for both adults (plenty of headroom) and kids.
