Charming town and so happy I found this great cottage. Nice hosts, clean, comfortable and we were able to bring my two small dogs. Both lakes are amazing! I definitely plan to return.
Exactly what we were looking for, a cute little cabin/dollhouse nestled away in northern Michigan. Amenities were perfect, location was excellent, quiet and relaxing. Host was very responsive, place was kept clean, and we had everything we needed. Couldnât have asked for more.
We needed a nice little getaway and it was exactly what it was when you had a great dinner at the restaurant called the Manitou and just enjoyed our weekend took a lot of walks and enjoyed the accommodations. Thank you so so much.
Our family had a great week staying here. Waterfront and beach access were all within walking distance and we loved walking our dogs there to get in their exercise. Jane was super helpful and quick with answers to questions!
We had a great stay with our little family in this cozy cottage. Right across from the lake and 5 minutes to the Portage Point Inn, where we attended a wedding. It was a perfect location for our short stay, and wished it could have been longer.
Thanks for sharing your sweet home!
After many visits to Onekama, we always manage to experience new adventures! What we most appreciate is the consistency of our rental. It's just what we need in a perfect location.
This cottage is located perfectly ... a few of Portage Lake out the front door, 3 minutes walk to public access to Lake Michigan. You can stroll down to Portage Point Resort for a pizza or ice cream, or drive to the Heathlands golf course in 10 minutes. Perfect for us!
The house has everything you could possibly need, it was clean and comfortable. A short walk and you were at the lake,. I liked that I could walk a half mile in one direction to get to Lake Michigan walk down the beach and come up at a different spot and walk another half mile to complete the circle. I would definitely book this property again.
We've rented this property for several years. While we kinda wish to stay right on the lake, this location is the next best thing. I enjoy the glimpse of Portage Lake as I sit on the sofa and look out the window. Walks to either Lake Michigan beach are refreshing. We always enjoy bike rides around the peninsula.
This cabin is perfect for 2 or 3 people, absolutely love the original knotty pine interior, parking for two vehicles at the front door was a plus, owners were the best in making sure everything was just like at home, loved the location, easy walking access to several public accesses to Portage lake and within minutes to the Beautiful Shores of Lake Michigan. Planning on and canât wait until next years stay, weâre hoping to schedule a 3 week stay at this Gem of a get away next year. Thank You..
Enjoy a view of Portage Lake right from the comfortable living room. Lake Michigan is a short walk from the cottage. Furniture and bed are very comfortable, outdoor picnic table and grills are great. Kitchen is very well stocked with nice dishes and pots and pans. I brought more than I needed due to the thoughtful stocking of kitchen, linens, blankets, and towels. Backyard backs up to sand dunes. Very beautiful setting.
The property was clean And the location was excellent. 100 feet from Portage Lake and less than a mile to walk down to Lake Michigan. Portage Lake was warm enough to relax in, and Lake Michigan was cold enough to sober one up. Managed to get in both, but spent most of my time at in the big cold one. The beaches are great, and the water is crystal clear and BLUE!!! The town itself is small enough to get around in on foot or bike. There are surrounding townS a bit busier If you like that, but we spent most of our time at the beach and with the residents of the town. June is rather quiet and we plan on same time next year. This time with a boat.
Very clean, well-supplied with dishes, cookware, all basic supplies. All arrangements worked as expected. The owners were responsive and accommodating.
Great location for access to Lake Michigan. There are many public access points, all well marked. We favored the one closest to the channel connecting Portage Lake with Lake Michigan because of convenient parking and a boardwalk there down to the beach. Even on Labor Day the beach was not crowded.
We enjoyed bike riding both in Onekama and also up the coast a bit by Acadia.
Scenery along the coast is amazing.
Manistee is also a short drive and has many dinner options.
Saw deer, wild turkeys.
Every day we opened the door of the cottage and had a partial view of Portage Lake, which we really enjoyed.
The cabin is right across the street from beautiful Portage Lake and a short walk or drive to the public access beach on Lake Michigan. Perfect for unwinding-sunrise over Portage Lake and sunset over Lake Michigan.
Onekama is a very friendly small town, close to Manistee and Traverse City. There are plenty of other nearby activities and attractions-Crystal Mountain, the Manistee National Forest and a lot of beautiful golf courses (we didn't golf, but it looks like a good spot for it).
The cabin was exactly right for two people, and would be fine for three. It is significantly bigger than an average hotel room, without the extra hassle of staying in a hotel. The kitchen and bathroom were just like home, and the cabin was very clean and welcoming when we arrived. There is a patio area in the back for grilling or sitting at a fire pit.
I would most definitely recommend this rental. It is a beautiful area of the state, and the rental price for the cabin was very competitive with motels which do not offer the same access and amenities. The proximity to both an inland lake and Lake Michigan is unique and gives one more options for enjoying the water, regardless of the weather or wind.

Our family has been vacationing in Onekama for four generations. We have never seen a more perfect setting. Both lakes provide such unique offerings and to have them both within minutes is what really makes this area unique. Where else can you watch the sun rise on one lake and set on another within a half mile? What we love the most about the area is the fact that once you have experienced Onekama, you always seem to come back. Year after year and generation after generation, this is the place to make family memories.
Both of this dollhouse and its sister cottage have beautiful knotty pine interiors. They can be rented independently or together. The dollhouse is a cozy get-away, but would also be a perfect grandparent or in-law cottage for families staying in the sister cottage.
