Location is absolutely perfect. So easy to visit other areas (restaurants and attractions) that are north and south, but simply ideal for visiting Lake Michigan. The host are truly amazing. Always willing to help make my stay as comfortable as possible. Will definitely be back to visit.

We stayed here for several nights this July. The owners were very friendly and helpful, the location is great (very close to beaches and boat launches), and we all got a good night’s sleep. The accommodations were great. Highly recommend this location!

We felt very welcomed by our hosts. They welcomed us to come by 2:15 instead of waiting till 4:00 since they did not have guests earlier that that day. Our beds were ready, Every thing was clean. There was fresh spring water in the refrigerator for us. They welcomed our dog too which was a blessing. The price was right.

Property owners went above and beyond with making sure we were satisfied. They even baked homemade blueberry muffins and served them warm to us. We would stay there again.

Cute little cottage
I felt the location was great. In between Manistee and Frankfort. A short drive in either direction was fine for us. The hosts are the sweetest people! My only complaint was the bed was terribly uncomfortable. But, the couch is a futon and the mattress was great, so we slept in the living room. Really enjoyed my trip!

Very quiet spot for a peaceful getaway.
We stayed here as a family with our 13, 8, and 7 year olds. There was room enough to spread out with a regular bedroom and a converted garage bunk room. The house is as described with vintage appliances, but all the amenities you could need. The main bed was hard for us adults to sleep on, so we took turns with the couch and futon. Nice TV with Netflix for evening relax time. The nearby beach on Lake Michigan was beautiful and a very short drive away. The property itself was on a quiet road with minimal cars. Very quiet and relaxing!

Good Value
The guest house is small but serves the purpose of a place to sleep, shower, and cook meals. Its a short drive (5 minutes) to a nice sandy beach on Lake Michigan. The guest house isnt on Portage Lake but the main house (where the hosts live) is on the water and they invited us to use their patio and access the lake if we wanted to. The hosts are very kind and welcoming.

Home Away from Home
What a perfect location, whereby one could experience "lake life" and close enough to enjoy the surrounding communities and everything they offer. This "home away from home was truly such a delight and very comfortable property for a get-away vacation. Such wonderful host that actually made you feel as if you were long time friends. I would recommend to anyone looking for a special time in the Lake Michigan area.

Fabulous Location! Amazing Hosts!
The house was very nice and well maintained. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable. They were very gracious of our German Shepherd and welcomed him every time they saw him. We were looking for a place to recover from hip surgery, that was close to everywhere we wanted to go. We truly love this quaint cottage and the hosts that became friends.
