Escape every day life at this beautifully appointed lake house. Situated on the largest of seven connected lakes, Portage offers a taste of Michigan's beauty. Enjoy lake life by spending time with family or friends on the lake by day and cozy up by the fire pit at night. When you invest time and money for a getaway, go for the best.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Denise Madis
We purchased this house about 5 years ago. We enjoy it as much as we can. We have 5 kids who like to enjoy the break from reality as much as we do. It's interesting driving here from our home. You can feel the stress of every day life start to release. The warm air, listening to the water crash on the rocks at the bank and the smell of burning leaves in the spring/fall make this our true getaway. We upgraded the bank with large flat rocks to create a break wall with steps for easy lake access.
Why they chose this property
We decided to rent this to others because the house sits vacant many days and we found out through friends that others are searching to find a gem like this to stay at. Why not extend that invite!
