Important Note About Lake Access: This home features true lake access, which is rare and highly valued in this area—especially for those wanting a weekend adventure with kayaks or paddleboards! However, we want to be fully transparent: we have a dock where you can launch your non-motorized watercraft (kayaks, paddleboard, etc) the shoreline is owned by the State of Ohio, and while guests are absolutely permitted to access it, it is natural, rocky, and not ideal for inexperienced swimmers or children. If you’re comfortable with nature’s edge, you’ll love the chance to launch directly into the peaceful waters of the North Reservoir — and we even provide two complimentary kayaks for you to enjoy. For even more water adventures, let know if you'd to rent a luxury or economy pontoon boat, launched from one of our docks on the main chain of Portage Lakes — offering endless options for exploring at your own pace. At our lakefront retreat, every moment is an opportunity to reconnect with yourself and the ones you love. So leave the worries of everyday life behind and immerse yourself in the beauty of Portage Lakes. Your perfect getaway awaits. Book your stay at our Serene Sanctuary today and experience lakeside living at its finest. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Hot tub ### Internet - Available in the cottage: Free WiFi ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Dishwasher - Hob - Microwave - Oven ### Bedrooms - 4 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3.5 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Bidet - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Fireplace ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - Pet friendly - Welcoming dogs only - 2 pets total ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) ### General - Unit size: 2,400 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor spa tub](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/104000000/103570000/103560600/103560599/87297701.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Luxurious private Portage Lakes home lake access 3 bd Oasis Hottub pet friendly!

I was initially disappointed because the fireplace wasn't working. That issue was quickly resolved after I contacted the host. The sleep number beds didn't work. And, the hot tub looked as if it hadn't been cared for (unclean), so I didn't get in. The tarp overhead was hanging, so we left it alone and remained inside :-(The hot tub and fireplace were the main amenities that I wanted when I booked this location to celebrate my birthday. While I wasn't completely satisfied, my guests seemed to enjoy themselves. I also felt misled once I reached the checkout. The site advertises no hidden fees, but there were. And, they were big fees at that! The cleaning fee, the customer service fee, and the security fee. All were astronomical and should have been described up front. That was real deceptive and misleading. ##### Monica F. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2025
