5 Bedroom House in Onekama

We purchased this home in the spring of 2013. It is large but comfortable and located on a beautiful piece of property overlooking Portage Lake. This 3,600 square foot ranch home features five bedrooms, four bathrooms and two large living areas. It can comfortably accommodate two families with kids, three or four couples or five singles privately. For entertainment the home has a puzzle table, tons of games, books & DVD's, a pool table, a shuffleboard table, a large screen TV with Apple TV and WiFi.
Portage Lake is an all-sport lake that is connected to Lake Michigan through a channel. Portage lake is great for sailing, fishing, motorized and non-motorized boating, swimming and watching the sunset. We have two stand up paddles boards, one two person kayak and 3 single kayaks that renters are welcome to use.
Home is located 5 miles North of the Little River Casino. In the winter it is about 45 minutes from Caberfae Peaks and 30 minutes from Crystal Mountain for skiing, close to snowmobile & cross country ski trails, on a great lake for ice fishing and close to many charming towns filled with wonderful restaurants and shops. In the summer is is close to many great Lake Michigan Beaches and within 30 minutes of many quaint waterfront towns & villages, wineries, antique shops, art galleries, hiking trails and museums. Less than 30 minutes from amazing golf courses, including Arcadia Bluffs (9 miles), Manistee National (15 miles) and Wolf River Golf Park (5 miles).

Summary: Beautiful house with everything you could possibly need. We had a lot of fun playing games, pool and paddle boarding/kayaking on a lake. Plenty of room for multiple families.

Summary: The home is so beautifully decorated and homeowners are absolutely wonderful to work with. Our family has stayed here several times over the past years and are absolutely IN LOVE with the property. There is so much room to sprall out and not be under each others feet... (which is wonderful when you have multiple teenagers in your group!) Game tables, games, puzzles, outdoor games and a fun filled stocked bookcase of movies are perfect for down time. Home is situated on a peaceful outlet of Portage Lake. It truly is majestic and relaxing. I cannot put into words how wonderful this home is... Our family calls this our "Favorite home away from home"...

Summary: Thank you Angela & David for sharing your outstanding home! The house was very clean and well maintained. The amount of space for our blended family of 7 was ideal. The beautiful yard with tons of room also allowed for us to entertain family that we were visiting in the area. During "down time" when we were not on the water, there were plenty of places to retreat & relax, play games (pool & ping pong included), watch a movie or even taken an undisturbed nap. Location is perfect. Jump in the boat or vehicle and we were right into town. Owners have thought of every detail in making your stay comfortable and memorable. Hope to come back again with our family next year!

Summary: Very nice place with a great deal of space / ammenities. Water access on an in-land lake with direct connection to Lake Michigan is a huge plus. Pool table, ping pong and a spacious floor plan enabled everyone to relax, play games, read, etc. Close proximity to Arcadia Bluffs and other top-notch golf facilities as well as several towns for dining, shopping, groceries, etc. was very convenient. Big yard allowed the kids to play many games right outside the house which was very convenient as well.

Summary: This house has so much room! We had 3 families that comprised of 5 adults, three teenagers and 3 little kids. The kitchen is fully equipt so making meals was a breeze when we didn't want to go out. The bedrooms are spaced throughout the home which made it nice for sleeping (didn't have to hear snoring from another room, etc). What I loved the best is that in the living room off the kitchen area was a lovely quiet spot to do jigsaw puzzles, the kitchen and dining area were great gathering spots for playing cards or general socializing and the big rec room was attractive to the kids and was far enough away from the previously mentioned other two areas to allow the kids to play ping pong, board games, laser tag and such without the adults having to hear the ruckus! The channel right out of the back door was great for watching birds and swans as well as docking the jet skiis that were launched at a nearby public launch. The dunes and beaches were beautiful and fun and the restaurants were tasty and close! The owners were very helpful in guiding us where to go for dinners and fun. It was a fabulous vacation and we will surely stay again!!
