Family getaway to Beech Loft

Cozy Getaway in Onekama!

This small, renovated room in Onekama was the perfect base for our recent trip. The space was clean and comfortable, ideal for two travelers or a solo adventurer. We loved the easy access to the lake and the friendly communication with the owners. The room was exactly as described, providing a cozy and affordable option for our stay. If you're looking for a simple yet comfortable place to stay in Onekama, we highly recommend this option.

Owners were super helpful and active when it came to information that we needed. This is the perfect little gateway I will say it would be super hard to sleep more than 2 people in the condo - but seriously loved the view and area. Great views.

This is a great spot for one or two people, right on Portage Lake. Enjoyed the kayaks, and the loft came with some other useful things as well, like beach chairs and a cooler. Just an hour drive from Traverse City and the Sleeping Bear Dunes. Glen Arbor and Glen Haven are also a must!

Cute but…,

This place was cute but moving furniture and pulling the bed down to go to sleep was a bit much for me (64 years old). Loved the deck and privacy. The host, Kathy was great. Great location, loved the pool and being so close to Lake MI. Overall really enjoyed my stay!

Great Lake lover’s location

Cozy indoor space, great for tiny living practice, located inside a house. The balcony of the house has a great view of Lake Portage. Lake Michigan is only a 3-5 min. walk. The space was a tight fit with our traveling crib set up, but totally doable even with midnight feedings.

This amazing studio was the perfect size for me and my girlfriend. We stayed here to go to crystal mountain to snowboard. It’s in a quaint location and a 2-3 minute walk away from public Lake Michigan beach access.We were able to drive into Manistee and Traverse City for dinner.

Portage Pointe Resort Condo

We were very happy with this property. It has everything needed for a comfortable stay for 1-2 people. It is actually bigger than what might be initially perceived when you consider the foyer as a place to store things (eg luggage), the balcony with a grill and the community propery sitting areas. And despite it being a small place it is nicely decorated. If you don't require gathering space within the unit it is perfect for sleeping, preparing simple meals and as a home base for the area attractions.

Cozy condo in a great location!

This condo was perfect for a weekend getaway to Portage Point with my husband! Clean, comfortable and well appointed with all of the essentials. Makes great use of the space. It was nice to have a kitchen for cooking breakfast and the pool/hot tub to use. A beautiful Lake Michigan beach (our favorite in Michigan) that is a short walk away makes this an excellent destination! We have been coming to Portage Point for many years and happy to have this condo as an option when just the two of us visit without the kids. You won’t be disappointed!

Perfect

The hosts immediately responded to all questions. The loft was meticulously decorated as well as clean. My daughter and I enjoyed a Mother's Day weekend here. Although it was on the chilly side, we were able to sun on the balcony and took advantage of the complimentary kayaks. Best of all, we had the whole resort to ourselves. I can only imagine the sun and fun in peak season, but if you want a quiet get away, come here off season!

Perfect Hideaway

I really enjoyed my stay at Beech Loft. The Murphy bed was very easy to use and I appreciated all the space I had in the room during the day when the bed was stored up. The microwave, refrigerator, and kitchenette were so cute and perfect to store all the snacks and drinks I needed. Beach chairs and an umbrella were included with the rental (among other extras!) and I was able to use them when I went down to Lake Michigan in the afternoons. The Beech Loft was truly a "hidden gem" at Portage!
