Houghton House | Modern Camp on Portage Lake

2 Bedroom House in Houghton, Hancock

Relax with the whole family at this peaceful “camp” on Portage Lake. Located just 8 miles from the Portage lift bridge you’ll find this quiet, modern lakefront vacation home is just what you need to relax and unwind. Peaceful mornings watching families of geese and ducks paddle by from the covered porch, fishing off the dock, followed by a dip in the lake during peak sun hours, and finally enjoying a campfire at dusk are just a few of the ways you can enjoy your stay! Fully stocked kitchen also includes a Keurig and a 12 cup coffee pot, cooking utensils, George Foreman, and a large outdoor flat top propane grill. Towels/washcloths, bedding, toilet paper, shampoo/bodywash/conditioner, and hand soap provided. We are available at any time during your stay should you have questions or issues arise, but a keyless entry code is provided so you may come and go at your convenience.

Summary: We had a fantastic stay at this VRBO! The property was exactly as described—clean, well-stocked, and super comfortable. The location was perfect, close to everything we wanted to explore but still quiet and peaceful. The host was incredibly responsive and made the check-in process seamless. We really appreciated the little touches that made it feel like home. Would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend to anyone looking for a relaxing getaway
