We enjoyed our stay. It was nice to be on portage lake and the size of the house was practical for our family. Denise was proactive in writing back to us. The house could have been much cleaner (dead spiders, dust, the rest ok though) so the price was a little high. It was a nice spot and neighborhood overall. Kevin the handy man who lives next door provided us some paddle boards and he was very friendly and helpful with us!

It was perfect! The living room is comfy, the views of the lake are amazing. The back yard patio is very big, and it's excellent to have a bonfire, to relax in the choice of chair they have in the back. The rooms were great, the beds were comfy, and it felt like "home". It was perfect for the family that flew in to attend a local graduation. The neighborhood was quiet, and there is a little store located only a couple miles from them.

Outstanding overall - just a tiny bit shy of perfect! 9/10
Very well-equipped home, idyllic setting, all the comforts of home, great communication with host (Denise dropped off a new tank of propane super quickly!), great location, very quiet lake (early October) there were just a couple things that might have made it even more perfect in the backyard...some additional chairs/seating options and some sun protection/umbrella. Otherwise this was just about perfect for our family 3-night stay.

Beautiful property!
We very much enjoyed our week at this lakefront home. The location is private at the end of a cul-de-sac and there is plenty to do on the lake. We rented a pontoon from the marina and the hosts let us rent their kayaks and the use of other water toys! We will be back!
