Host profile image
We have been together for over 33 years, both, growing up in Michigan. Spending time, and relaxing, with family and friends is what we love the most! Time away doing this is good for the soul!

We have owned several rental properties, both here in Michigan and in Florida, achieving the highest host level on any platform we have utilized. Our guests are ALWAYS our priority and when you stay at our condo, you get caring, vested owners who will always put you first! Your comfort and enjoyment is our priority!

Why they chose this property

Portage Point Resort, in Onekama, is not only unique in its nostalgic feel but its location is beautiful and incredibly unique as well. Located on a very narrow strip of land, situated between two amazing and clear lakes. Directly on Portage Lake, which has so much to offer (swimming, fishing, water sports...) along with Lake Michigans spectacular sandy beaches and clear waters just steps away!
