Welcome to Our Home
Porter Stay is an international hospitality alliance that offer travelers consistently high-quality vacation rentals. While other homes are just places to sleep, our homes are designed & managed to allow guests the space to deepen connections, create joyful memories, and feel the warmth that only a deep love of hospitality can provide.

Our mission is to make sure every guest feels taken care of and we spare no expense to achieve that. The memories guests create in our properties because of our hospitality-first mindset are priceless. 

Genuine Hospitality, Lasting Memories

Relax with the whole family at this stunning and newly remodeled cottage. Access to Pickerel and all the chain of lakes in the beautiful Newaygo area. Come to relax and enjoy the lake life!

Dogs are welcome but we ask that when they’re outside they are on a leash or a lead. There are neighborhood dogs and not all are friendly. 

There is a docking spot for a pontoon boat. 

Note- this cottage is on an inlet to the lake, not directly on the lake.

This cottage has three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, one bathroom with shower only, one with tub shower combo. The upstairs bedrooms have two twin beds each, and there are two twin cots beds. The first floor bedroom has a king bed.

Discover a charming and peaceful retreat at Jenny’s Blissful Cottage, where guests consistently praise the cleanliness, spaciousness, and thoughtful amenities that make for a truly relaxing stay. With a welcoming host who goes above and beyond to ensure comfort and enjoyment, this delightful home is the perfect choice for families and friends looking to create lasting memories together.

The home was clean, exactly like pictures she posted. We caught fish, blue gill and catfish, right off the backyard dock! The kayaks and pontoon paddle boot were such an added plus! The lake is beautiful and the neighbors were friendly! We took our dog, the only suggestion is keep your dog on leash, others in area do not. Jenny was an excellent host and thought of everything to supply to guests! We had a relaxing and well needed get away! We will be back! Thank you Jenny !

We had a wonderful stay! We did lots of cooking while spending the week here the kitchen was stocked with tons of very nice cookware, bakeware, utensils, etc. Everything was nicely organized and labeled. Lovely, peaceful spot that was perfect for our needs!

Beautiful cottage. Peaceful neighborhood. Very well stocked kitchen. Jenny was very easy to communicate with.

Our family really enjoyed our stay at this property. The cottage was extremely clean, had lots of space, had all the necessities, a well stocked kitchen and also many extra special and thoughtful touches. The paddle boat was a huge hit as was the fire pit! We would definitely recommend this property!

Works perfectly for what we need.  Planning to stay again.
