Modern Camp on Portage Lake

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful “camp” on Portage Lake. Located just 8 miles from the Portage lift bridge you’ll find this quiet, modern lakefront vacation home is just what you need to relax and unwind. Peaceful mornings watching families of geese and ducks paddle by from the covered porch, fishing off the dock, followed by a dip in the lake during peak sun hours, and finally enjoying a campfire at dusk are just a few of the ways you can enjoy your stay! Fully stocked kitchen also includes a Keurig and a 12 cup coffee pot, cooking utensils, George Foreman, and a large outdoor flat top propane grill. Towels/washcloths, bedding, toilet paper, shampoo/bodywash/conditioner, and hand soap provided. We are available at any time during your stay should you have questions or issues arise, but a keyless entry code is provided so you may come and go at your convenience.

***2 adult kayaks, 3 kids kayaks, a pedal boat and a stand-up paddle board available for use during your stay May-Oct.***
For our winter guests, there are many local ski and snowmobile trails in the area, along with the 2 major downhill skiing/ snowboarding spots, Mt. Ripley and Mt. Bohemia. Parking can accommodate 1-2 snowmobile trailers. Snowmobile trail access can be found via the road from the house, or across the lake when frozen, but check out the trail map marked in the listing photos!
