Property Description
Vintage Portage Lake cottage with 80 feet of private Portage Lake frontage with beautiful ripple sand shoreline, plus direct boating access to Lake Michigan. Located on the Portage Point peninsula, this property offers a rare opportunity in one of Onekama's most sought-after waterfront settings, where Portage Lake, Lake Michigan, sandy beaches, and the quiet beauty of Northern Michigan all come together. The cottage is tucked into the wooded side of the property across the road from the water, creating a private Up North setting with beautiful views of Portage Lake from the spacious deck. Across Portage Point Drive, the waterfront parcel offers 80 feet of private frontage, ripple sand shoreline, dock space, and a fun lakeside tiki hut where friends and family gather on sunny days. Inside, the cottage has a warm vintage feel with knotty pine interior spaces, a fireplace, an updated kitchen with granite countertops and stainless appliances, and cable internet for those who want to stay connected. Spend the day along the shoreline, take the boat through the channel to Lake Michigan, or relax on the deck and enjoy the peaceful Portage Lake setting. Located near the Village of Onekama with easy access to M-22, Portage Point Inn, Lake Michigan beaches, Arcadia Bluffs, Crystal Mountain, Manistee County Blacker Airport with service to Chicago O'Hare, and Little River Casino. Properties with this combination of private Portage Lake frontage, Lake Michigan access, and Portage Point peninsula setting are rarely available.
