We also offer two blow up queen size air mattresses for additional sleeping arrangements. There is room inside the house as well as a tent and unheated sleeping area above the garage. The number of possible guests listed above includes these additional mattresses. Summer and winter rentals available. Hunting and snowmobiling are a big draw to the area. A hunting guide is close and contact can be set up for you. We ask that the camp be returned, as much as possible, to the condition it is found. We ask that the flowers and vegetables be watered if necessary. It is "recreational" flower watering. We ask that there be no smoking within the house. We also have access to a seperate property next door for rent if an additional sleeping area is required.
Portage Lake is a small community on the eastern edge of the North Maine Woods. A small store and restaurant are located in the community, as well as a golf course. Major shopping is 35 miles to the east in Presque Isle, Me.
Queen size air mattress available. Large tent available for set up. Extra rustic sleeping area above garage.

One word WOW, June 30, 2009
One word WOW!!!! This camp is amazing. My family and I stayed there for six days and I will tell you that if you want to have a great vacation in Portage Maine I recommend you to call Dennis and Linda and book this camp. This camp has everything you need. The camp has an amazing fire pit outdoors and a beautiful lake with nice views in the morning and nights. And if you like fishing make sure you bring your poles. Fishing was my kid’s favorite thing to do at camp. Don’t forget to call Dennis and Linda for a good time in Portage Maine. Thank you

This lakeside "camp" is more than a cabin in the woods! It's a very nice house by the lake. Dennis and Linda were very gracious hosts. We had a great time and plan to come back again when we vacation in this area.

The camp was beautiful! It had everything that we needed. It was just like being at home. You wouldn't believe the amount of deer that you see when you're up there. We would love to stay there again. I've yet to find any other camp that is that nice for that price. We brought our girls 12 and 13 up there snowmobiling for the week and they loved it. We saw hundreds of deer, a fox, we caught a couple of nice salmon, and we watched a bald eagle fly around the lake looking for fish. We had an amazing week and would love to stay there again next year, if the week we want is available.

This is the second year we have stayed at this "camp" in Portage. It is unbelieveable - all the comforts of home and more without being at home. The camp is beautiful, convenient and comfortable. After a day of sledding, we could come back to an evening in front of the fireplace, a nice dinner, and cable tv or a movie. The snowmobile trail is literally right in the backyard. The area is beautiful.
We will definitely continue to return every year.
Thank you!

What a week we spent at this great place. It was completely equipped with everything you would need. The trail access was right from the front yard. We have been traveling to Portage for many years to snowmobile on the many, many miles of groomed trails. This was probably one of the most relaxing trips we have had. After a day of riding we would get back, clean up, have dinner and kick back for an evening of relaxing by the fireplace with a good movie or book whichever we would choose. There were DVD's and books on the shelves to choose. With the laundry room we could keep our snowmobile gear ready to go.
Will be returning next year if all goes well.
Camp?, January 2, 2009
This "camp" is absolutely gorgeous! Our most favorite part is the fireplace! Our brief stay in Portage was not only relaxing, but was so comfortable we didn't want to leave. Dennis and Linda have every base covered. We are looking forward to next year's stay ! Thanks for everything.

My wife and I searched the Web looking for a camp to rent for a moose hunt in zone 3 . We came across Dennis and Linda's add and immediatly knew "This was the ONE" When we arrived , and made that first step into this cottage ,it was a breath-taking experiance . The pictures don't do this place it's due justice . From our first contact with Dennis , to our chats after we left , We feel like we've known each other forever .
And yes we ended our vacation with a successful hunt also . Thanks for the memories ! As Arnold would say " WE'LL BE BACK "

We have spent many a year in portage lake bird hunting and I can honestly say this was the most enjoyable, and relaxing camp we have ever rented. Everything we needed was available plus things we didn't even think about. Dennis and Linda are great hosts and know how to get guests to come back and that is key. I am already booking for next year and hopefully to make this a tradition in the years to come. After staying there, to me, there is not a better place.

Deffinately worth the trip! We stayed at this property for two weeks as our honeymoon and we're already trying to figure out when we can go back! The peace and quiet, the wildlife and the beautiful scenery was exactly what we were looking for!! Thank you to everyone who made us feel at home!

Our vacation here was divine. The "camp" is a showplace and the lot is spectacular. Our family loved the lake, especially the views and loons. Many special moments were spent in front of the outdoor fireplace enjoying the down time in a magical setting. Dennis and Linda made sure we felt at "home" and welcome and that put us at ease immediately. Don't pass up this one!
"Camp" Wonderful, September 8, 2008

This "camp" is best described as Smart Casual! No detail has been overlooked. After 35 years of owning our own cottage (no heat or hot water and an outhouse) this Portage Lake property is a camp in name only. To us it was home for a week of r and r - great canoeing, spectacular views and the call of the loons. Dennis and Linda are fantastic landlords/hosts.
We are booked for a return visit.
