About this property

"Pier"adise on Long Lake - Lakefront Home

Perfect two story lakefront home in Portage Michigan, where you can make those family memories you so deserve. Bring you own boat since the public boat launch is close by or inquire about renting our 23 foot pontoon to explore Long Lake, a 575 acre all sports lake. Sit on the bench at the end of our pier and take in the morning sunrise with a warm cup of coffee. Enjoy all the amenities of home with a full updated kitchen, large dining table for meals or playing games, and a spacious family room for conversation or just watching TV. Outdoors, you can relax on our large deck on one of two patio sets, grill out on our gas grill, enjoy your favorite beverage at our deck bar, have fun in the open grass of the backyard under our tall trees or spend time on the lake with one of our two kayaks or just fishing off the dock. Wrap up your night comfortably around our firepit near the lake or gather around on our deck where you can enjoy our outdoor gas firepit. Smores for everyone! Finally, enjoy a restful night sleep in one of our three bedrooms located on the second floor of the home, two king size beds and one full size bunk bed. We even have a new queen sofa bed in the living area for additional guests. All bedrooms with new mattresses and bedroom sets. The master bedroom comes with an adjustable bed frame for those with back or snoring issues. Awaken the next day to experience lake living all over again!

Great place on the lake

Really enjoyed our stay! everything was as advertised and the house was well stocked. The location is fantastic, about 100 feet off of Sprinkle Rd, but feels totally secluded. Would recommend for sure.

Super relaxing family vacay!

We had a few days to spend in Kalamazoo as a family, and “Pieradise” was just perfect. Plenty of room for all of us (four kids, two adults), kayaks & paddleboard, awesome pontoon docked at the house available to rent. The setting is soooo peaceful. Love to come back!

Run, don't walk, to "Pier"adise!

Great house to spend a long birthday weekend with my four gal pals! Plenty of space, comfortable, clean and the lake was gorgeous. The house, especially the kitchen, was very well-stocked-- we just brought groceries and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Amazing views in a quiet, secluded location.

Amazing views, relaxing and just perfect!

We opted to rent this property instead of a hotel for a local event we had in the area. It was a great choice, very clean, spacious and amazing views. It easily accommodated our whole family and everyone remarked how pleasant it was. Our only regret was that the weather didn't cooperate but we will definitely consider coming back so we can experience more of the lake views and peaceful scenery.

Long lake, portage

Really nice place on the lake. Clean and everything we needed. The lake is great, pretty quiet, not a lot of people on it with a beach nearby. Nice new boat available but not included with the property.

Absolutely beautiful and amazing home with a great view. The owners truly make it feel like you’re in your home. Very accommodating and quick responses. Location is perfect. Beds were super comfortable. Everything was perfect-couldn’t have asked for more. Close proximity to shopping/groceries.

Great Lake weekend!

My girlfriends and I (there were 8 of us) stayed here for a weekend in June and had a great time!! The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, there was plenty enough room, the lake was beautiful and not crowded and John responded promptly to all my questions. We rented the boat and that was our main source of entertainment. We had so much fun on it. We also visited a local winery and ordered Mexican food. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming too.

Girls get away

A family girls get away. Ages 25 to 76. Everyone thought the house was wonderful. The more active took the kayaks out and went to very nearby Ramona Park to play pickleball and check out the beach. The less active enjoyed sitting on the deck and dock all day watching the lake. . Kitchen is nice and open plenty of room for a couple of cooks at a time. Highly recommend and we will be back

Amazing house with great views!

The house is one of a kind! Very spacious, comfortable, clean, and friendly host. The layout of the house is functional and inviting. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, smores and family time around the firepit and games at the kitchen table in the evenings. The location is perfect - private yet conveniently located across from a tackle shop / convenience store (approx .02 mile walk). Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, fans in each room, nicely decorated with all of the extra touches! Highly recommend for families!

reset vacation

We booked this stay to get away with friends. The house was clean and the location is great. You can walk to about anything you would need in the location. A short drive to anything else. We had an excellent day and rain the rest. I believe you should let people know it is a two story home, as it wasn't clear in the description. And a suggestion would be to cover the back porch as it is a great place to sit and visit, but w ith rain, that was our only thought. The neighbors were great and it really was a great relaxing place. We will be back

About the host

Hosted by John Elsen

Host profile image
My wife and I have owned two vacation condos in Pigeon Forge Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains since 2007 and have rented our places on VRBO as a Premier Host. We look forward to sharing our lakefront home with guests to help them make family memories together.

Why they chose this property

My wife Kathy has always dreamed of having a place on a lake. We live outside Chicago and the 10 hour drive to our Tennessee condos had made it a challenge to visit as often as we wanted so we decided to find a lakefront property closer to home. Our search brought us to this beautiful home on Long Lake in Portage Michigan.
