About this property
Beautiful updated home with 100’ on Portage Lake - 20 minutes to Arcadia Bluffs
Completely renovated lake front home on beautiful Portage Lake with spectacular sunset views! We have spared nothing! Portage Lake has unique channel access to Lake Michigan, and our home is minutes away from the Onekama marina. We have 100' of private lake frontage, and expansive views of the lake. Located on a quiet street, this location is ideal for your family. This cottage has 3 bedrooms and can sleep up to 8. Two bedrooms offer stunning lakefront views with queen beds. The third bedroom is a bunk room with 2 bunk beds, and can sleep 4.
Each bathroom has been completely renovated, complete with fresh new towels and fixtures. Bathroom 1 has bathtub/shower and bathroom 2 has walk in shower with bluetooth speaker that can sync with your phone.
Our beautiful kitchen has quartz countertops, all new appliances, and every item you could possibly need to make your stay perfect! The drip coffee maker has a Keurig built in. A large custom table has seating for your entire group, and is the perfect space for meals and games together.
There is a brand new washer and dryer, dishwasher, Smart TV, WiFi, and keyless entry.
We've thought of everything you might need during your vacation including lots of family games, lawn games, several life jackets for adults and kids, 3 stand up paddle boards, 2 single kayaks, 1 tandem kayak, fishing poles, beach towels, Weber grill, Solo stove for bonfires, outside tables, and more.
The location is absolutely perfect! Just off M22 (most scenic road in northern Michigan and gateway to northern MI), we are a short drive to everything.

About the host
Hosted by Tim and Kristen Padgett

We have been coming to Portage Lake our whole lives. We have always dreamed of owning property on this lake, and finally found it! We bought this cottage in 2019 and completely renovated it. We're looking forward to making family memories over the years, and hope you enjoy it as well.
