About this property

5 Bedroom, 4 Bathroom With Portage Lake Views And Beach Access.

Gorgeous two-level home features 5 bedrooms, 4 full bathrooms, a great-room encompassing a fully equipped kitchen, large dining area, and living area. Exterior includes a large deck overlooking the lake, accessible from the living area.
Two bedrooms with adjoining baths are located on the main level, each also with its own access to the inviting deck. Two bedrooms and a third bathroom are located on the lower level. In addition there are two twin beds and a twin roll-away in the common area of the lower level.
A detached bonus room with full bath offers an additional queen bedroom for a private stay from the rest of the house.
A 10-minute walk or a 1-minute drive gets you to a short path and boardwalk to the semi-private shoreline for great swimming in the sandy-bottomed crystal clear waters of Portage Lake.
For nature seekers, take a stroll through the natural trails of the wooded areas of this 8-acre property. Deer and foxes are a common sight. There is also a large open grassy field for any family sporting activities.
A 15-minute drive around Portage Lake takes you to Onekama and all it has to offer, including a city park with its own beach and playground. Great for family picnics.
An additional 10-minute drive around the lake from Onekama and you arrive at the beautiful, expansive public beaches of Lake Michigan.

AMOUNT OF SANDY BEACH AVAILABLE IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE EACH YEAR DUE TO THE RISING AND RECEDING WATER LEVELS.

Pets allowed. Pet fee(s) of $100/pet will apply. 2 pet max.

annual family gathering
great location, plenty of space inside and outside for a large family gathering. Cottage is in need of a deep cleaning especially the carpeting. Furniture is tired and in need of an upgrade

August Vacation
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Loved being on a private wooded lot with a beautiful lake view. The house was nice and spacious and when we had a question or needed anything Nicole's team was always available and accommodating. The private beach was so nice as was the Lake Michigan beach that was only 10 minutes away. Strongly recommend this property.

Great Country Nearby Lake Place
The property was clean and comfortable for four adults and 3 children. Lots of open woods and field nearby, great hiking trail, and the deck outside was overlooking Portage Lake to the north. Just a short walk down the hill to our private but small beach with a bit of sand and nice chairs. Could launch our kayaks from here across Portage Lake. Manistee and Onekama nearby. Lake Michigan sunsets just a 15 minute walk to the west with a nice channel. Only drawback was that the basement bedrooms were a bit musty.

Onekama
Had a wonderful time with our family and friends. Have been coming to Onekama since 2004 and this was by far one of the best places we stayed! Loved all the space that we had and the property views and hiking trail were awesome! Would definitely stay again!
