About this cabin rental
Lake Cottage located on 500 acre Portage Lake just south of Kalamazoo, Michigan. Our cabin is a clean and cozy two-bedroom wood beam and pine construction where you experience the feel of an up north cabin as soon as you step through the door. The kitchen is fully equipped with a stove with oven, microwave, refrigerator/freezer, Keurig and a regular coffee maker and a complete set of cooking and eating utensils. The dining room table along with the bar stools seat 6. The living room has a comfy couch and recliner with a 50” tv with Netflix and other apps. It is the perfect setting to reminisce about the adventure so far. One private bedroom hosts a cozy, queen size bed. The other is a bunk bed w twin bed on the bottom, with another bunk bed.
Soak in the elements on the screened in porch. The screened porch is the cat-bird seat of the cabin, featuring a comfortable couch, rocking chair and lounging chair, cozy new cushions, and the view from the porch is incredible looking out across Portage Lake.
Enjoy a morning coffee on the front porch and watch the ducks and geese. Watch the birds at the custom birdhouse from the patio overlooking the water while you cook your steak and burgers on the gas barbeque. The side yards are good sized for the kids and dogs to play, but there are neighbor dogs so you have to keep an eye on your dog. The fire pit off the side yard has 6 chairs and sits on a bluff surrounded by pines and oaks overlooking the water. You will need to pick up firewood at a stand down the street but sometimes we do stock it if requested for a longer stay.
If you don’t feel like cooking, take a short cruise to Fisher Lake Tavern for dining out on the Lake, or head to Cowboy Up for line dancing and smoked meats.
Description of Area
Our cabin is located off historic Silver Street just south of Vicksburg and not far from the malls in Portage and 25 miles to Kalamazoo. Our cabin cottage owns frontage on Snug Harbor where we have a private channel with a boat dock. The channel is not good for swimming but if you have a boat, or use our kayaks or canoe, you can access great swimming spots. You can kayak or canoe the many miles of shoreline and streams leading off the lake. Take a short drive into downtown Vicksburg and visit the historic Hideaway Bar and Grill for fantastic food and atmosphere. Or, a short drive away is Fisher Lake Restaurant where you can dine on the patio overlooking the lake. Want to line dance or play cornhole at a cowboy bar? Cowboy Up bar is 12 minutes away. Angels Crossing golf course is a 10 minute drive away.

10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Aug 2025
My wife and I enjoyed 3 days of fishing at and peace at the cabin. The doc was big enough for our boat and made it very convenient to just walk down and head out to the lake fishing. Great boat ramp to get the boat in and out as well within a 1 minute drive. Cabin was cozy with high ceilings and plenty of room for us. We liked the screened in front porch at night and morning coffee as well. The fishing in the lake is incredible. We caught perch, crappie, sunfish, bluegill, rock bass, smallmouth bass, largemouth bass, northern pike and also a 49” massive long nosed gar pike! While fishing one day we even got to watch a water plane practice taking off and landing a few times. Vicksburg has some great places to eat as as well so we enjoyed a great dinner in town one night too. Great location and great time!

It was as expected for a CABIN. Updated bath was a plus. Usable kitchen although water pressure in the kitchen sink was minimal.
Interior was clean and nicely furnished, steep irregular concrete walkways w/no handrails (no lights either) could prove problematic for Seniors w/mobility issues
a/cawas nice (3rd week of July)

Cute little cabin near the lake! A little hard to find at night when you’re driving there for the first time but nice place!
6.0 / 10.0Average·Aug 2024
The cabin was cute and in a great location. Right away, though, we noticed ants everywhere inside (some dead, some alive). The carbon monoxide detector in the basement beeped nonstop due to low battery which made it hard to sleep. The shower head throws water up to the ceiling and then down onto the floor, so the bathroom floor gets drenched. Pink canoe had a hole in it, so my husband and kids had a very short excursion in it. The screened porch would be so much more enjoyable if the many holes in the screens were patched or replaced so that critters could not get in. Owner was very receptive to having the water pump looked at when we notified him that every time we used the water (flushing of toilet, washing of hands, showering, etc) the pump was cycling on and off which was quite noisy but also could have burnt out the pump leaving us with no water.
