Lake Cottage located on 500 acre Portage Lake just south of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Our cabin is a clean and cozy two-bedroom wood beam and pine construction where you experience the feel of an up north cabin as soon as you step through the door. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove with oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, Keurig and a regular coffee maker and a complete set of cooking and eating utensils. The dining room table along with the bar stools seat 6. The living room has a comfy couch and recliner with a 50” tv with Netflix and other apps. It is the perfect setting to reminisce about the adventure so far. One private bedroom hosts a cozy, queen size bed. The other is a bunk bed w twin bed on the bottom, with another bunk bed.
Soak in the elements on the screened in porch. The screened porch is the cat-bird seat of the cabin, featuring a comfortable couch, rocking chair and lounging chair, cozy new cushions, and the view from the porch is incredible looking out across Portage Lake.
Enjoy a morning coffee on the front porch and watch the ducks and geese. Watch the birds at the custom birdhouse from the patio overlooking the water while you cook your steak and burgers on the gas barbeque. The side yards are good sized for the kids and dogs to play, but there are neighbor dogs so you have to keep an eye on your dog. The fire pit off the side yard has 6 chairs and sits on a bluff surrounded by pines and oaks overlooking the water. You will need to pick up firewood at a stand down the street but sometimes we do stock it if requested for a longer stay.
If you don’t feel like cooking, take a short cruise to Fisher Lake Tavern for dining out on the Lake, or head to Cowboy Up for line dancing and smoked meats.
Description of Area
Our cabin is located off historic Silver Street just south of Vicksburg and not far from the malls in Portage and 25 miles to Kalamazoo. Our cabin cottage owns frontage on Snug Harbor where we have a private channel with a boat dock.
