Michigan Summer

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at “the refuge”. Waking to the beautiful view of Portage Lake and being able to jump into a kayak for a morning (or afternoon/evening) paddle was terrific! My dog was living her best life swimming and chasing things in the reeds/cattails. Lovely home for a much needed respite. We discovered wonderful farm stands within a 10-15 minute drive north on our way to Arcadia beach-gorgeous beach and good rock hunting if that’s your thing. The EZ Mart has a decent grocery especially for a gas station! If you like to cook, be aware there is only salt and pepper in the Refuge so bring all your ingredients. The cabinets stick a little and could use knobs/pulls. Otherwise this is a beautiful peaceful retreat and is highly recommended!

Very comfortable stay

We had a very comfortable stay while in the area for a family function. 4 adults and 2 teenagers had plenty of space to relax and sleep, with room to spare. The house was very well stocked with standard items and a few we were delighted to find. Communication with the owner/manager was quick and pleasant. With our busy schedule and some cool, wet weather we didn't get to enjoy the lake. However, the views are excellent. We will definitely consider returning for a proper vacation in the future.
