This was the first trip to Onekama my boyfriend and I have taken and can honestly say we are already ready to go back. Our stay at the Portage Lake Motel was nothing short of complete comfort. We were provided a beautiful room with a lake view, perfect for watching sun sets. I loved that the motel and rooms have an old time feel that make it seem like you’re in someone’s lakeside cabin instead of a motel. The A/C was cold, our showers were steaming hot, and we were able to sleep amazing as it’s so quiet at night. We were also able to park just a few steps from our room which was incredible. Last but certainly not least, the owners were something special. You can tell upon arrival that their primary goal is for their patrons to have a comfortable and memorable trip. Anything you need, they are there to provide and gave us great local recommendations for whatever we were looking for. The location of the hotel also puts you less than 30 minutes from several towns, beaches, shopping, and restaurants. It’s also in walking distance from a few places as well. This will be a yearly excursion for us and we...
