Like I remembered
The cabin is just what I was hoping for and just what I needed. Although the little lake town of Portage has changed, the lake itself is like I remembered as a kid. I would highly recommend this cabin and I look forward to coming back again.

Relaxing week with beautiful sunsets!
What a great camp! Modern clean kitchen but a cozy original camp. Pictures didn’t even come close to how nice it is. My kids loved the lofts connected with a catwalk. We loved having dinner on the deck and watched all the eagles! We didn’t get to have a fire but what a great little fire pit spot. Till next time…. 😊

Portage - Family Visit
Loved the camp. The grandchildren really enjoyed sleeping in the loft area. They fished and swan everyday off the pier. It was unseasonably hot and there were fans for us to use that were a great help. Unfortunately had to work some but with the wifi working really well it certainly made it easier. Nadine was very helpful with any questions we had. Very much enjoyed our week at On the Lake.

Great quiet cabin
The updates that have been made are great. The value for a private cabin on the water is tremendous. The Loons, Geese and ducks make the setting even more picturesque. A great place to stay!

Northwoods Cabin
The Cabin was very clean and well kept on a beautiful piece of property right on Portage Lake. It was also right across the street from the Entrance to the Northwoods which was very convenient! We had a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to renting the property again next year!

Family hunting trip
What a fantastic trip to The County to visit friends and head into the North Maine Woods. Nadine’s place is a short distance to the NMW gate where we had fantastic access to hunt, fish and play. The house was perfect for our family of 5 (3 kids under 12). We were warm, cozy and had everything we needed. Very private with a beautiful view of the lake (beach front access) and great fire pit. We loved it and cannot wait to go back!!!
