Recently renovated, this converted commercial building in the heart of Onekama has been transformed into a perfect vacation rental home. Located just off M-22, you'll love how close to the action you are without paying such a premium rate.

Originally a dentist's office, this house was fully renovated and now features new furniture, appliances and flooring. Vanities were left in some the bedrooms making getting ready in the morning a breeze. Absolutely ideal for golfers, fishermen or families looking for their own space but still together under one roof. There is also a very convenient ramp for handicap accessibility for easy access to the home.

AMENITIES INCLUDE: gas grill, highchair, ample paved parking, baby bed, and laundry. WIFI and Cable TV included. * Home is handicap accessible with ramp entry to the front door.*

The kitchen is fully stocked for everyday meal prep. Dishes, pots and pans, silverware, glass, etc. dishwasher, and a drip coffee maker is available for guest use. Additional kitchen items include ice maker, mixer, and toaster. Also included: bed linens, fans, bath towels, basic cleaning supplies, and soaps (not personal soaps), and a starter set of paper products.

LOCATION: Portage Point Inn and The Heathlands Golf Course are under 5 minutes down the road. Onekama also offers The Glenwood and Blue Slipper Bistro for your dining pleasure. Looking for a little fun on the town? Then head on over to the Little River Casino for some gaming and live entertainment just five minutes up the road off M-22 and US 31. In the mood for some Wine Tasting? Douglas Valley Organic Vineyard is just over a 10-minute drive up the road.

A great location
This place was just what we needed - a place to sleep while we enjoyed the beauty of Onekama, Portage Lake and Lake Michigan! The house was as described and was centrally located. There was plenty of room for parking. Communication with the property manager was great. I would stay here again!

Vacation 2023
Everything was great! Entire process was easy! The house was clean, and we all had plenty of room. The location was all we could have asked for! Only two things that could be improved. The shower pans were very slippery, stick-ons would keep them from being a concern. Also, it would have helped to have an instruction sheet on the TV. The channels available in whichever package was subscribed to. Would definitely recommend The Bunkhouse to anyone looking for a comfortable house close to everything!

My girlfriend and her kiddos come to Michigan and we get a local house every year. This year was great. We loved the location and the layout of this house was fun and worked well for our group!

I'm a wheelchair user, I had plenty of space to get around and the showers and bathrooms were all accessible. A very nice ramp to get in the house. The beds were a little high but were manageable. I did bring my own shower chair and a sliding board would have helped with my transfer onto the bed. Overall a very nice stay.

Fun trip
The house was great, it was well stocked and had everything we needed. It was conveniently located and right across the street from the lake. The people were very friendly and the owner was very nice and helped us with getting our tv turned on and very hospitable. We had a great time

Overall pretty good
We were pleased with the layout and the amenities, but the kitchen floor was so dirty when we arrived that it turned my son's feet black. There were what looked like rust stains on a lot of the linens. Communication about what to do before departing was also unclear, because the digital guide did not match a set of instructions on the fridge, and the two resources listed different required departure times. Despite all this, the location is great, there are plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, and it was a comfortable and convenient place to stay in Onekama.

Perfect spot for 2 families
My family has been coming to Onekama since I was a child. This year my sisters family and mine opted to try a VRBO rather than the local Travelers Lodge Motel. We couldn’t be any more satisfied with this property and we will be rebooking for our yearly trip next year!!!
