About this property

Cute little cottage by Little Portage Lake, Portage Chain of Lakes, Pinckney Mi.

Newly refurbished Lakefront. Flat Panel TV's w/cable in each room. Rollaway Queen Couch in TV Room. Laundry Room, Built-in computer. Hot Tub open year round. Central Air. Dishwasher, Large Fridge, Grill, Patio Furniture with umbrella. Firepit. Dockage for 1 boat, sometimes two. Rental is for house and use of the grounds. Best fishing lake on the lower chain. Known for pan fish but lots of Largemouth, some Smallmouth, Walleye and Northern Pike. Unfortunately there is now a ban on the consumption of fish from the Huron River Chain of lakes due to chemical contamination found upstream. I am told this will be long term but we'll see.

Lake House

It’s the perfect lake house. The weather was cold, but the hot tub more than made up for it!

Perfect for the two of us

We decided last minute to get a house vs a hotel. We were unable to book day of so reached out to the host (who was amazing). He also couldn’t get us booked through app for day of but easily accommodated us. The stairs are a little narrow and steep but easily manageable. Traffic can be a little loud at times and the road not always easy to navigate but we’d still stay there again. Waking up to the view off the master made those cold mornings worth it. Would like to hopefully make our next visit in warmer months.

Right for us

We needed to be close to family for a wedding, but not "in the way". It was so nice to return to a warm, quiet little cottage at the end of the day.

A little traffic noise being along the road but we ran a fan and that’s all we heard. Would like to visit in the summer to enjoy the lake.

As Expected

It was perfect for what we needed, but it could use a good, very thorough cleaning. Lots of cobwebs in corners. Loved the addition of the hot tub. Living room tv works, but you can tell something is broken with the picture; very dark and very blue. Host is very friendly. He lives right next door and came over as soon he saw us and showed us how to the work the hot tub. One of those shower heads from Amazon that amps up the water pressure would be nice as well as at least one full length mirror.

Cute cottage

We were in town for a football game and the cottage was exactly what was advertised. Kurt was great to work with. The house was very clean and had everything we could ever need and the view of the lake was beautiful!!!

Lovely Stay on the Lake

The little cottage was perfect for our family of 4! The kids especially enjoyed the hot tub and fire pit for s’mores. The adults enjoyed our morning coffee with a beautiful view of the lake. We also appreciated the washer and dryer. We had a small issue with the blinds one day and Kurt happened to be outside and we asked him about it and he couldn’t have been nicer in helping us fix it. We’d highly recommend staying here!

Nice lake house

The house was perfect for our needs. We did not take advantage of the hot tub or lake equipment since our stay was quite short, but it was great that they were available. Kurt was great! He made sure to check in with us to make sure we had a smooth check in. Thank you!

Great cottage

This is our third year staying here and we love it. Kurt is great and so helpful, we love talking with him. It is the perfect place for our family, we bring our boat, and have an absolutely amazing time. The two bedrooms and half bath upstairs are perfect for the kids, and you can't beat waking up with a view of the lake. We can't wait until next year!

Cute vintage cottage

Charming little vintage cottage! We loved the location and the fire pit and hot tub was a great added bonus! Mattresses could use some updating but not totally uncomfortable and it could use a good deep clean. We did enjoy our stay and Kurt was a good host.

Fishing/Reading/Kayakjng

We had a wonderful time. Super easy access to property, down town, and easiest of all was the lake. The property has a kayak ramp, that made loading and unloading our kayaks SUPER EASY!!! No heavy lifting, whatsoever!! Fishing was GREAT. Pike, bass, and big rock bass. While I was fishing, my wife was reading, and enjoying the breeze off the lake. Kurt the host, was informative and accommodating. Renting this property, couldn't have gone smoother.

Holiday getaway (from the family)

This property gave a nice getaway space during holiday travels. The cabin was fully furnished, which allowed us to stay more comfortably. Beautiful lake view, and the hot tub was great during our chilly visit. Keith was communicative and welcoming.

Great little cottage

Kurt is a great host. Great spot to spend Labor Day weekend visiting our son at U of M. We were able to keep the boat at the dock right outside. Entry into the cottage and parking is tight with a trailer, but Kurt was more than cooperative and helpful. We will return for future stays.
