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. 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
