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.

Summary: We very much enjoyed our stay on Portage Lake. The hosts were amazing and the house great. We came to snowmobile and were relatively close to the trail system (had to take a little road to get there but it wasn’t a big deal). Our large trailer (27’) fit perfectly in the driveway a the hosts came right out to sand/salt when it got icy. The house accommodated our family well and we had everything we needed to cook meals in the kitchen. There was little for cell service down there, but the starlink worked great to make wifi calls, text and watch tv. We would definitely recommend this place to stay and hope to be back.
