Lakefront Home - Pontoon & Private Beach - Minutes to Breweries, Shopping & More
~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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

This house is perfect. We rented this house last year and it thoroughly met our needs to be close to our great grandchildren. They were able to enjoy the water while we slept there at night. The beach is very nice with a blue splash bad on the shore that has anchor so it can be moved to the water. The beach toys are amazing for children as is the varied assortment of chairs, table, and 2 large umbrellas on the deck with a picnic table in the yard kayaks and flotation equipment. We did use the outdoor fire pit and enjoyed the fireflies which I have not seen in many years. The kitchen is very nicely stocked and the towels are well supplied for enjoying the beach. We did wash the towels to beach towels to reuse each day, but the selection is very good. We plan to try again next year for this house. Thank you Savannah for making our stay so pleasant.

Great Lake getaway
My family of 6 had an excellent stay! The back patio is lakefront and it great for all ages. The home comes equipped with all the comforts of home (shampoo, conditioner, fully stocked kitchen, towels, etc) plus many extras (coffee bar, kayaks, beach toys, inside kids toys, books, games, etc ). The A/C worked well in higher than normal temperatures. Communication with the property owner was fast and friendly! The house is decorated super cute. I feel the price is fair for the location. The only cons I had were that the house is on a SUPER busy road. It doesn't affect the back yard but when loading/unloading cars it's something to be acutely aware of. Also, some of the items around the house need replacing; one of the seats of the kayak was broken, the fire pit was crushed and therefore inoperable and a couple of the plastic lounge chairs were broken. Overall, doesn't affect the wonder of the property. We would rent the property again if we ever return to the area.

I recently stayed at Sam’s Lake House, AMAZING with breathtaking views of the lake. The large windows allowed me to fully enjoy the serene winter scenery, as snow fell. Sam was incredibly responsive and went out of her way to ensure my stay went smoothly, even arranging the cleaning crew to expedite their work.Thoughtful touches throughout the house, like the wide variety of games available—even 420 games, though it's important to note that smoking isn't allowed on the property. The check-out instructions were very clear, making the departure process stress-free. I appreciated the ample closet space in the bedroom. The dreamy clawfoot bathtub in the downstairs bathroom was a definite highlight!A few minor details: the upstairs bathroom tub is peeling, and while there’s a slip mat, I did have a slip (which was on me). Also, there is no dishwasher, so be prepared to wash dishes by hand. The refrigerator needs a good deep clean. That said, I never memtioned these to Sam as she was so accommodating these things could have been missed rushing to get me in. Parking was a little tricky with fast-moving cars, and Sam explained the garage wasn’t available due to storage. Things that could have made the stay better: aTV in the downstairs bedroom, warmer blankets, covered awnings for the patios, and a door to go out to the deck instead of the side. 8.9 out of 10!
