Cute Lakeside Getaway

We had some friends getting married in Onekama (and having never been to this part of the state) we’re looking for a good place to bunk up between the festivities. We’re so delighted to have found this property, it was charming, clean and gf an absolutely breathtaking view over the lake. Our host was great at communicating to us and even offered to let us stay for longer than we had booked. Highly recommend this property and a great intro to this cute town!

A little piece of Lake Heaven

If you love lake life... it doesn't get much better than this! The views from you windows, balcony & backyard are Amazing! Our hosts, Jim & Lilian, are out of this world! It really feels like home away from home! They have thought of all the "little" things that make an impactful difference! They are also very responsive to any questions and are very hospitable! The condo is very clean and well kept. The lake is clear and although there is activity (boats, etc.) It is still pretty quiet! It's all soothing wave noise! There are numerous hiking trails nearby or you can make a day trip to Traverse City or Sleepy Bear Dunes! Quiet little community, not much around for groceries, etc. We just drove to Manistee 10-12 minutes away for a Meijer or other stores for our last minute or forgotten items. We look forward to staying here again!

Spacious waterfront condo

We loved our stay at this comfortable and well stocked condo. The second floor location made the lakefront views even more beautiful.

About the host

Hosted by Jim

We are a retired couple and live in the unit below this rental. Jim owned an educational publishing business and Lillian was a preschool teacher. We believe in respecting your privacy while doing everything we can to help make your stay as enjoyable as possible! We rented here ourselves in June 2018, and loved it so much we were fortunate to be able to purchase it in late 2018 and move here from California!

Why they chose this property

We spent the entire summer of 2018 in Michigan looking for the right retirement property. We looked at every condo for sale between Muskegon and Petoskey, and we knew immediately this was the one for us! The location right in the middle of the peaceful village of Onekama and the beautiful, big, lawn overlooking Portage Lake provide you with a deep sense of peace and relaxation as soon as you arrive!

What makes this property unique

Hopefully the pictures speak for themselves! Portage Lake is famous for its beauty and great fishing, and the channel to Lake Michigan provides easy access to the big lake as well. And summer evenings aren't complete without a stroll two doors down for some ice cream at Papa J's!
