    We were delighted with the Lake views and private access. The house has so much history, with additions to accommodate current expectations. We brought our own disc golf goal, and found the dune space perfect for an extra activity. Beach walks, cold water swims, table games, sunsets and bonfires with 15 family members sent us home with great memories.

    The location and views this home offers are outstanding. There is plenty of room and beds in the home as well as a well-stocked kitchen. We really enjoyed our stay and appreciate the clear communication between us and the owners/property manager.

    The house is a cottage but comfortably accommodated our large group. The best part is the beautiful location between the two lakes. We spent two afternoons on the beach of Lake Michigan right out of the back door. On the two other days when the wind had a chill we took a short walk down the front drive and spent the afternoon on a public access beach of Portage Lake. The town is smaller but has everything you need including restaurants, light shopping and groceries.

    We had a wonderful time!! The house is beautifully located on the shore of Lake Michigan with easy access to the beach. The home was well appointed with fresh and new towels and bed linens, plenty of beach chairs to enjoy days on the sand and evening sunsets and bonfires at the private dune fire pit! The deck hosted several morning coffee gatherings as well as evening cocktails and sunsets! Thanks for hosting us and we look forward to sharing more memories with you soon!
