Property was as described and access to the boat on property was a game changer for our stay. My kids loved tubing on Turkeyfoot Lake and exploring Portage Lakes by boat. Many great places to eat near by and the perfect stay for a lake side vacation.
Great stay at Portage lakes! The property feels brand new, was very clean, has great amenities, very comfortable! The boat was fun, the deck was an awesome hangout spot. We had 5 adults and were able to comfortably hang out in the living room. Lots of space to eat and cook. Everything we needed was there with lots of fun extras ( giant connect four!)Hosts were very responsive.We were there for a wedding but wished we had more time just to vacation there!
House was a delight! Clean, views were amazing and so very relaxing! The multildeck area gave you so many choices to sit and enjoy a meal.Would book again in the near future.
