About this house rental
~ABOUT THIS SPACE~
Welcome to our lake home on Long Lake in Portage, MI! This cozy retreat is just 15 minutes away from the vibrant city of Kalamazoo. Relax and unwind in our beautifully furnished home, complete with games, toys for kids, and a putting matt. Step outside to your private beach and sandy swim area. Cast a line off the end of the dock, fire up the grill, take the pontoon or kayaks for a cruise, or start a fire in the smokeless solo stove. We can't wait for your family to make memories here!
The open concept main floor features a fully stocked kitchen, spacious living room, and additional sun room complete with a reading nook and large dining table. The main floor bedroom features a king bed and includes a walk-out deck perfect for sipping coffee on in the morning. Bedroom #2 is located upstairs. This space features queen bunk beds and a very comfy futon that folds out into a full size bed. The house sleeps 8. The backyard features a large deck with plenty of seating, a private dock with pontoon (available for rent), and a small beach area perfect for the kiddos. The water is shallow and sandy, making this an ideal swim area for younger kids. You will also find a picnic table, a solo stove, and additional beach toys and rafts for your use. Firewood is stored onsite and can also be purchased for use.
~Other Things to Note~
This home in one of a kind. It was originally built in 1915 as a very small ice house, but has had many additions added over the past few decades. If you are a fisherman, you will find that the catch is plentiful on Long Lake. The kids frequently enjoy catching bluegill right off the end of the dock, so be sure to bring your poles and worms! There is also a volleyball net, beersbie game, and large floating water mat available for water fun in addition to sand toys and rafts.
The pontoon is available for rent:
1 day - $250
3 days - $500
7 days - $700

Wonderful home. It was perfect for my family. They had everything you need. The location was perfect.

This is a quirky property and will take you 2 days to figure out all the light switch locations. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay an the owner was very easy to communicate with. We loved waking up to a view of the lake and watching the sunsets from the deck. It was a bit cold while we were there to enjoy the water but want to come back in the summer. The property was clean and cosy. There are lots of games and activities especially for younger children. And you can tell there are lots of new improvements. New shower, HVAC. We loved the location, the street is a bit busier than anticipated but you really can't hear it unless you are in the kitchen or front bath. A small dresser in the bedrooms is the only improvement I would suggest. We would definitely stay here again.

We stayed here for our annual Mother Daughter get away. It is such a relaxing location. We had a great time on the pontoon, as well as enjoying the comforts in the house. Samantha went above and beyond to make our stay perfect. She’s excellent communicating if there are any questions. The weekend went way too fast.

The location was lovely, and the property feels very private and secluded. We enjoyed our time on the lake. The house is comfortable and nicely furnished.
