Perfect two story lakefront home in Portage Michigan, where you can make those family memories you so deserve. Bring you own boat since the public boat launch is close by or inquire about renting our 23 foot pontoon to explore Long Lake, a 575 acre all sports lake. Sit on the bench at the end of our pier and take in the morning sunrise with a warm cup of coffee. Enjoy all the amenities of home with a full updated kitchen, large dining table for meals or playing games, and a spacious family room for conversation or just watching TV. Outdoors, you can relax on our large deck on one of two patio sets, grill out on our gas grill, enjoy your favorite beverage at our deck bar, have fun in the open grass of the backyard under our tall trees or spend time on the lake with one of our two kayaks or just fishing off the dock. Wrap up your night comfortably around our firepit near the lake or gather around on our deck where you can enjoy our outdoor gas firepit. Smores for everyone! Finally, enjoy a restful night sleep in one of our three bedrooms located on the second floor of the home, two king size beds and one full size bunk bed. We even have a new queen sofa bed in the living area for additional guests. All bedrooms with new mattresses and bedroom sets. The master bedroom comes with an adjustable bed frame for those with back or snoring issues. Awaken the next day to experience lake living all over again!

A family girls get away. Ages 25 to 76. Everyone thought the house was wonderful. The more active took the kayaks out and went to very nearby Ramona Park to play pickleball and check out the beach. The less active enjoyed sitting on the deck and dock all day watching the lake. . Kitchen is nice and open plenty of room for a couple of cooks at a time. Highly recommend and we will be back
Great house to spend a long birthday weekend with my four gal pals! Plenty of space, comfortable, clean and the lake was gorgeous. The house, especially the kitchen, was very well-stocked-- we just brought groceries and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Amazing views in a quiet, secluded location.
we were looking for a close to home lake house and found this one, only an hour away. very nice lake and the house was just what we wanted. would definately recommend
My girlfriends and I (there were 8 of us) stayed here for a weekend in June and had a great time!! The beds were comfortable, the place was clean, there was plenty enough room, the lake was beautiful and not crowded and John responded promptly to all my questions. We rented the boat and that was our main source of entertainment. We had so much fun on it. We also visited a local winery and ordered Mexican food. The neighbors were friendly and welcoming too.
We had a few days to spend in Kalamazoo as a family, and “Pieradise” was just perfect. Plenty of room for all of us (four kids, two adults), kayaks & paddleboard, awesome pontoon docked at the house available to rent. The setting is soooo peaceful. Love to come back!
We opted to rent this property instead of a hotel for a local event we had in the area. It was a great choice, very clean, spacious and amazing views. It easily accommodated our whole family and everyone remarked how pleasant it was. Our only regret was that the weather didn't cooperate but we will definitely consider coming back so we can experience more of the lake views and peaceful scenery.
Beautiful, well appointed lake house. Cozy just like home with nice towels, comfy furniture, amazing outdoor space, and just like home details. Owner is responsive to booking and questions. Perfect place to enjoy some lake life! We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend for families and couples wanting to get away.
Property is accurately represented with the photos and description. Owners did a great job with all the considerations needed for a relaxing stay. Only thing missing was a can opener 🙃. Plenty of seating for an extended family. Perfect location on a quiet lake that is great for utilizing the included kayaks and paddle board. Right off a main road with everything you need close by but still feels secluded. Sams Club 10 min away so we just ordered pickup instead of lugging all our groceries with us. Only tiny down side is no community bathroom upstairs. All bedrooms are upstairs but there’s only a bathroom in the master so everyone else has to use the one downstairs. We were very happy with our stay and plan on coming back!
Wonderful house on beautiful lake property. Clean and well maintained - upscale appliances and updated/new furniture. Perfect get-away not only for a girls weekend but also for the family. Relaxation and fun awaits you at this property.
The house was perfect, clean, and right on the lake. The planked walkway all the way out to the dock was very nice, and being able to rent the boat along with made for one of the best family get aways that we have had. Great kitchen for cooking your own meals, but also some great local places to eat as well. In addition the fishing and boating on Long Lake was very nice. Definitely a place our family would like to come back to again next year! Owners had everything we needed to get started, and the driveway had ample parking for our multiple kids to come and go as they needed. Hands down one of the best VRBO's my family has stayed at!
Absolutely beautiful and amazing home with a great view. The owners truly make it feel like you’re in your home. Very accommodating and quick responses. Location is perfect. Beds were super comfortable. Everything was perfect-couldn’t have asked for more. Close proximity to shopping/groceries.
This property Was immaculate. The inside was redone and super clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. IT had a beautiful view. Unfortunately for us it rained when we were there so we didn’t get to try out the water.
The house is one of a kind! Very spacious, comfortable, clean, and friendly host. The layout of the house is functional and inviting. We enjoyed fishing off the dock, smores and family time around the firepit and games at the kitchen table in the evenings. The location is perfect - private yet conveniently located across from a tackle shop / convenience store (approx .02 mile walk). Well stocked kitchen, comfortable beds, fans in each room, nicely decorated with all of the extra touches!
Highly recommend for families!
Visiting family who recently moved to Portage, this home was the perfect place to gather everyone. Used the wood fire pit one night & the porch gas fire pit the next night. Spent a lot of time outdoors, playing yard games, sitting by the pier. Massive TV set, that we didn’t turn on once. Comfortable beds & furniture. Rented the boat one day, which was great! Had all the little things that many rentals don’t, coffee, napkins, trash bags, laundry pods, etc. Owner & property manager are great communicators. Can’t wait to come back next year!
Really enjoyed our stay! everything was as advertised and the house was well stocked. The location is fantastic, about 100 feet off of Sprinkle Rd, but feels totally secluded. Would recommend for sure.
We booked this stay to get away with friends. The house was clean and the location is great. You can walk to about anything you would need in the location. A short drive to anything else. We had an excellent day and rain the rest.
I believe you should let people know it is a two story home, as it wasn't clear in the description. And a suggestion would be to cover the back porch as it is a great place to sit and visit, but w ith rain, that was our only thought. The neighbors were great and it really was a great relaxing place. We will be back
Stayed for an entire month and it was absolutely perfect. Great location, clean, big, and so fun to be on the lake. Highly recommend.

About the host
Hosted by John Elsen
My wife and I have owned two vacation condos in Pigeon Forge Tennessee in the Smoky Mountains since 2007 and have rented our places on VRBO as a Premier Host. We look forward to sharing our lakefront home with guests to help them make family memories together.
Why they chose this property
My wife Kathy has always dreamed of having a place on a lake. We live outside Chicago and the 10 hour drive to our Tennessee condos had made it a challenge to visit as often as we wanted so we decided to find a lakefront property closer to home. Our search brought us to this beautiful home on Long Lake in Portage Michigan.
