The Contentment on Portage Lake with Private Dock

"The Contentment" has Private Portage Lake frontage with Boat Dock directly across the street from this completely remodeled 4-bedroom cottage, located in the heart of beautiful Onekama on M-22 Scenic Highway! This special place is close to everything, making it easy to plan your visit. Portage Lake is one of West Michigan's most beautiful fishing lakes and gives you direct access to Lake Michigan. There's a public boat launch just a block away! The Contentment has private access to Portage Lake and Boat Dock! The dock is shared between guests of "The Contentment" and the "Stone Cottage." The Contentment is a four-bedroom with 2 full bathrooms and 1 half bath that sleeps 8 people and is the larger of the two cottages. The Stone Cottage is on the same parcel of land and the smaller of the two cottages, which sleeps 4 people. The Stone Cottage is rented separately. We mention the neighboring cottage so that our Guests are not surprised or confused when they see two stone houses. Children and infants are welcome; however, Parents/Guardians should plan on bringing what they need. No crib, highchair, baby gates, etc., for children or infants. Pets allowed within reason and on approval. Booking Policy minimum 4 nights.

Cute small town house on the water.

Overall good experience. It doesn’t have central air but an AC unit on the floor in the kitchen. Bedrooms got very warm at night with the doors closed. House next door was under construction and workers started around 645. House is renovated and pretty with Great Lake view. Easy parking behind the house.
