Large living, dining, and kitchen were very nice. Beds were typically family cabin beds, but there was so many sleeping options. Very private and quiet lake. Pontoon rental was so amazing to be able to get on the water each day. Great fishing! Was wonderful to watch the Loon family! ##### Martha F.

House was Great, lots of games and music for the whole family. Big yard for lots of outdoor activities. The pontoon was an option to rent and I would suggest you rent it. The lake was a perfect size and the fishing was fantastic. ##### Jim S.

Amazing property, water is clear and clean. Friendly people boating on lake, not crowded. We totally loved having a pontoon to rent, kayak and canoe available. Quiet neighborhood and you can hear the Loons calling to each other. Great family home. You will enjoy your stay at "Elliott's Portage". ##### Diane M.

Very roomy. Owner was kind and easy to work with. Wi-fi hotspot only so it was hard to stay connected to the internet if more than one person was doing significant online activity, but it makes it easier to disconnect from everything! Beds are a little stiff, but the rest of the cabin made up for the minor discomfort. ##### Danita G.

Plenty of room for everyone and had everything you need. It was great having a full bathroom upstairs as well. We rented the pontoon and fished multiple times each day and caught a lot of fish. One suggestion is either moving the fire pit or having the area cleared so it could be utilized. We enjoyed sitting on the patio looking at the lake and we saw multiple deer, loons and eagles. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home. ##### Susan N.

Added pontoon for added/improved swimming options and quiet lake tours to end our nights. Used provided fishing gear and the kids caught some nice sunnies, smallmouth and northern! Home was large and inviting. Plenty of space. Kitchen was large and well stocked. Plenty of extras so that I didn’t need to pack my entire kitchen. Lots of outside toys/floaties/bikes/kayak to keep us busy. Had fun on rainy day playing music via Bluetooth throughout home sound system and added karaoke system while playing plenty of provided board games. Nice to not have to pack a crib or a high chair for baby. Mike even gave us a call to tell us about Looking for the northern lights one night. Mike was very attentive and helpful. Great stay!

During the week we felt like we had the lake to ourselves. It was quiet and peaceful. Lots of scenic nature and wildlife to take in. Renting the pontoon was definitely a bonus. Lots of swimming, fishing and topping off the evenings with a campfire by the water and making s'mores was enough to keep us content all week and make memories to last a lifetime. This is a great place to stay! ##### Louise F.

We had a wonderful time and hope to stay there again someday. ##### Marcia G.

Speakers through out and outside was a real nice bonus. Lake was clean but has a mucky bottom with some weeds so water shoes might help. Tons of fish in lake makes for fun times fishing even for little ones. Boat works great and in good condition. Mike was easy to communicate with via text. Overall really good experience and will be back. ##### Tammy K. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Tina H., Des Moines, IA 8 Aug 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### A most excellent week! We were thrilled with this property! I LOVE the floorplan of this home/cottage. It had plenty of space for the 3 of us. We caught fish every single time we went out! The pontoon was a blast! We anchored in the middle of the lake and swam from it. We brought our 16' fishing boat, and it fit perfectly on the other side of the dock. We also brought kayaks, and 3 or 4 mornings, I was out on the glassy water at 6:30 with my camera, hoping to capture the eagles or loons before the rest of the world woke up. I captured beautiful photos of fish, eagles, loons, turtles, chipmunks, ducks, and bees on flowers. We are always concerned that the tap/drinking water will taste bad at the cottages we stay at, but OH MY GOSH... the tap water here is DELICIOUS! So so good! I drank so much water this week, and filled my bottle before we left yesterday! Hmmm. What else... The nights were cool and breezy, the days warm and lazy- but not too warm. We had everything we needed at this beautiful cottage, and Mike is one of the best hosts we've ever rented from. We'd highly recommend renting this cottage, and we hope to again in the future! It has all the 'creature comforts' , and we felt more like we were housesitting than renting a cottage. We enjoyed the whole house stereo system- playing classical, loon calls, and soft jazz while we puttered about cooking and playing cards. Rent it. You won't regret it. ##### Tina H.

My husband and I stayed at Mike's property for 10 days. We also brought our small dog with us. We had an absolutely wonderful stay!!! Here were the highlights of Mike's property: 1\. The cabin is located on a beautiful lake that is not too big and not too small. There are very few boaters on the lake, which made it feel incredibly peaceful. I would highly recommend renting Mike's pontoon boat! The pontoon boat is great for relaxing or fishing. We used it almost every day. 2\. The wildlife that you will see on the lake is awesome! We saw loons, eagles, hawks, deer, and tons of other birds. 3\. The bugs were not bad at all. I worried that I would be eaten alive (because bugs love me) and that was just not the case. We did have to use bug spray each day but I walked away with just a handful of bug bites. 4\. The house is equipped with everything you need for a wonderful stay. The house was very big for just my husband and I. I especially loved the open concept on the main floor. It also has a grill, a fire ring, surround sound, a fabulous bath tub, towels, and a huge collection of DVDs and CDs. We enjoyed watching a different movie late each night. 5\. We cooked at Mike's house every night. We did not have a problem finding what we needed to cook. We did, however, bring our own spices. We also bought groceries in Grand Rapids the first night we stayed at Mike's. While there, we ate at a cute restaurant called Unwined Up North Wine Bar. Very delicious! Grand Rapids is about a 45 minutes drive. There are lots of restaurants there. 6\. We went on some wonderful hikes. Some of the hikes were close and others were a short drive. All of our hikes were outstanding and I would highly recommend looking into the various state parks. 7\. Mike was very gracious and super responsive. If we had a question about anything, he responded very quickly. Overall, I would recommend Mike's property. ##### Barbara S.

The house and lake combined to a beautiful and peaceful place to lift ourselves up. Our host was gracious and answered every question in a timely manner. The house was clean, well-taken care of, and offered up many pleasant and relaxing moments. Renting the pontoon gave us many additional hours of joy. If you need a place to get away, this is a lake vacation the way it should be. I highly recommend you put down your electronics, take someone love and head to this spot in Minnesota. Rent it. You won't regret it. We loved our time here. We hope to return next year. Thank you , Mike. ##### Steve F.

Cabin was better than pictured. Beach was nice for kids to play and swim, plenty of games were provided. Perfect for larger groups! We rented the pontoon and had a great time bringing the kids out to fish! ##### Rachel C. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2020 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Randall H. 18 Jun 2020 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, listing accuracy #### What a mess It was advertised as 4 bedrooms, only had 3\. The place looks like a bachelor pad that had not been cleaned in months - floors, tables, chairs, refrigerator, microwave, pontoon boat, bathrooms, personal stuff all over the place. 8 of us arrived after a 3+ hour drive, we all voted to drive back 3+ hours rather than stay in the mess. Vacuum cleaners very very poor suction. ##### Randall H. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2020 ---
