Property Description
Relax with the whole family at this peaceful “camp” on Portage Lake. Located just 8 miles from the Portage lift bridge you’ll find this quiet, modern lakefront vacation home is just what you need to relax and unwind. Peaceful mornings watching families of geese and ducks paddle by from the covered porch, fishing off the dock, followed by a dip in the lake during peak sun hours, and finally enjoying a campfire at dusk are just a few of the ways you can enjoy your stay! Fully stocked kitchen also includes a Keurig and a 12 cup coffee pot, cooking utensils, George Foreman, and a large outdoor flat top propane grill. Towels/washcloths, bedding, toilet paper, shampoo/bodywash/conditioner, and hand soap provided. We are available at any time during your stay should you have questions or issues arise, but a keyless entry code is provided so you may come and go at your convenience.
***2 adult kayaks, 3 kids kayaks, a pedal boat and a stand-up paddle board available for use during your stay May-Oct.***
For our winter guests, there are many local ski and snowmobile trails in the area, along with the 2 major downhill skiing/ snowboarding spots, Mt. Ripley and Mt. Bohemia. Parking can accommodate 1-2 snowmobile trailers. Snowmobile trail access can be found via the road from the house, or across the lake when frozen, but check out the trail map marked in the listing photos!About pets:No pets allowed.About checkOut:Check out before 11:00 AM.About children:Children allowed: ages 0-17.About checkIn:Check in after 4:00 PM.About smoking:Smoking is not permitted.About minBookingAge:Minimum age to rent: 21.About events:No events allowed.

Beautiful location
We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO! The property was exactly as described—clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable. The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to explore but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and made the check-in process seamless. We really appreciated the little touches that made it feel like home. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway

Comfortable cozy home
We enjoyed our stay at your home, it was just as advertised, clean, cozy, and comfortable. My husband especially liked the recliner chair after a long day out exploring it felt good to relax and chill. We were pleased with the communication! This was a good homebase for us as we had never been to Michigan before and wanted to do a little exploring. Thanks for sharing your place with us. We really enjoyed our time here.

Labor Day Weekend @ Portage Lake
We had a great stay! Family said this was a great choice and that they would love to stay here again!! Fished off the dock(perch, sunfish, bluegill, catfish, and a 28" pike all caught off the dock; did some kayaking & paddleboarding; agate hunting @ Agate Beach & Calumet Waterworks Park Beach; Yooperlite hunting @ Calumet Waterworks Park; and a little bit of relaxing;)

Relaxing Stay
We loved our stay at the lake house! The property is in a great location - secluded but still close to town. The property was very clean and had all the amenities we needed.

Central location near lots to do on the Keweenaw
Found much to do on the Keweenaw, especially with Shannon's helpful book of top places to visit. Hungarian Falls hike, the very interesting Quincy Mine and MichTech Mineral Museum, and McLain State Park are within 20 minutes and the hikes, kayaks and beaches of Copper Harbor are about one hour. If you want to venture further, the scenic drive to Pictured Rocks is a manageable 3 hours. Our first time to UP--we enjoyed everything and learned so much. Always pleasant to come back to this lovely cottage on a beautiful, quiet, dark lake. If it's clear check out the Milky Way. Beautiful! Great getaway!!

Fantastic stay
My husband, parents, and I spent 4 wonderful nights at this charming property. We absolutely LOVED it! The lake was a beautiful and relaxing setting to unwind after a day's adventures. We really enjoyed fishing off the dock and cruising on the pedal boat. The house was clean and had everything we needed for a stress free stay. The hosts were gracious enough to refund us after we had to cancel the last two days due to an unexpected death in the family, which was very much appreciated. Would highly recommend this place and hopefully we'll be back someday!
