About this house rental
The Summer House
Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'
Hidden away on Onekama's secluded Portage Point, The Summer House offers 50 feet of lake frontage and incredible views from a sheltered corner of Portage Lake. In this spot on a quiet street near North Point Park, you can spend your days swimming in the shallow bay and launching your kayaks and canoes from the dock.
Grab a cup of coffee from the fully appointed kitchen and step outside onto the deck to watch the morning sunrise. Enjoy barbecue picnics in the backyard as you watch the kids fish from the dock, then settle down for the evening around the firepit for a few toasted marshmallows. Please note that this property does not have A/C.
Things to know
Two dogs are welcome for a nightly fee
Please be aware that this home lies in a flood area and occasionally has standing water in the yard after heavy rainfall. The owners raised the waterfront portion of the yard and installed a dirt driveway in 2019 to make your stay more enjoyable, but rising water levels and storms that drop several inches of water at a time still leave large puddles in the roadside yard.
Onekama Township recently created a Short Term Rental Ordinance; please respect this Ordinance so this home can continue to help your family make vacation memories.
This property is managed by Vacasa Michigan LLC.
If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us.
Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles.
Dock details:
Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.
Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Really enjoyed the lake front property views and fire pit. This house comfortably slept 4 guys in a golf trip. Great amenities and super helpful neighbors. We had some issues with the plumbing but other then that I’ll be back next time I’m in the area.

6.0 / 10.0Average·Oct 2025
Love the location the house/cabin was nice. I did notice an issue with wiring with some strip lighting above the counter where the switch and outlet are tied to the same feed that should be addressed for sure. We try to start the furnace to take the chill out of the air and was overwhelmed with a sulfur smell. I was concerned about carbon monoxide so we opened the windows. The property owner should get that checked. Fortunately the temperature was pleasant so the furnace was not turned back on. Beautiful property on the lake, however.
