We really enjoyed our stay at this lovely home. The views were incredible, even more so when the snow was falling on the lake! Everything that could possibly be needed was available in the home (kitchen ware, bedding, etc.). The host was professional and always responded quickly to any questions we had. I highly recommend this home!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful property! The home was clean and nicely decorated with comfortable beds and lots of space for our family of seven! The house is situated on a big lot overlooking the best part of the lake. The host was friendly and helped make our stay great. We had a great area to swim and enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle boards. We definitely want to stay here again!

8 senior ladies rented this property for a golfing trip. It was very adequate as everyone had their own bed. The kitchen had what we needed if we were cooking meals. Beautiful view of Portage lake with plenty of outdoor chairs and tables. Golf courses nearby was an added bonus. This would be a great place for large family vacation.

This location was great for our weekend getaway. The lake view was beautiful, I’d imagine it’s even more impressive in the summertime! Large kitchen with plenty of seating, cozy living room area, & comfortable beds with extra blankets in the closets if needed.
