About this house rental
Summary:
Discover a serene retreat in Portage! This beautiful house boasts stunning beachside lake views. Perfect for families, it offers swimming, fishing, and outdoor fun. Enjoy easy access to Kalamazoo, I-94, and the convenience of being between Detroit and Chicago. Relax and create lasting memories in this lakeside paradise.
The Space:
50' Lake frontage accessed just across road. We own 2 other homes next door and each home has a 50' Lake Access and Beach. With 4 bedrooms, 7 beds and a futon, there's plenty of room for relaxing. Each bedroom has its own theme and all beds have quality memory foam mattresses. The upstairs bathroom is the larger of the 2 full bathrooms and offers a full shower /tub setup with a separate water closet to allow for others to get ready to go out or prepare for bed. The main floor is a true open concept that allows not only the fresh air to easily flow through the home but allows your group this same luxury. We've added a large 35' long deck off the back of the home that stretches the entire length of the home. From the deck you'll be able to enjoy your group relaxing by the firepit or grab a chair and watch the large variety of birds, frogs, turtles, ducks, deer and more. We upgraded the game room on this home to offer a larger space to enjoy during early mornings or evenings when you're not swimming/fishing. Driving an electric vehicle..? We have a level 2, 50 amp car charging station on the driveway side of the home for convenient charging. This home has 10 parking spots.
We've tried to solve all of the challenges plaguing lake cottages...
1) They're typically really small in size. Our home is over 1700 sq ft and designed for groups to enjoy both indoor and outdoor living.
2) Parking - We offer comfortable parking for up to 10 vehicles.
3) Cold/Hot spots when heating and cooling - We built our home with 2x6 exterior walls, r-60 attic insulation, low e windows and a well designed, high efficiency hvac system to ensure when you want it warm in the winter or cool in the summer, that's exactly what you get.
4) Water Systems - We installed a brand new well water system as well as an on demand hot water system. That means unlimited hot water for showers!
When renting our lake house you may see other families and have the opportunity for kids to play with others while on your trip.
Guest Access:
Guests will receive detailed check-in instructions 3 days before check-in.
The Neighborhood:
Lake front community just south of the City of Kalamazoo in Portage, MI.
Getting Around:
Car or Ride Share (Uber, Lyft)
Interaction with Guests:
We are happy to answer any questions you may have. We're only a text, call or email away. You will have complete privacy but we're just down the street if an emergency arises.

Your place was very clean and well equipped! Thank you for a great stay. We enjoyed it.
10 / 10Outstanding·Mar 2026
The location is quiet and very clean. A lot of construction in the area, but the place was great. The rooms were clean and items were sticked. They even had some drinks there already.
6 / 10Average·Jun 2026
Overall the house was fine and what we were expecting. The disappointing part was having to deal with a leak every time we used the upstairs shower and then a faulty fire alarm that went off at 5am. The owner was kind, responsive, and even leant us his boat for a day for free for our trouble.
