Experience the Ultimate Lakefront Escape on Portage Lake in Dexter Township! Just a short drive from downtown Ann Arbor and the University of Michigan, this serene getaway offers the perfect blend of peaceful waterfront living and city convenience. Brighton is also just a quick drive away. This rare gem offers the best of both worlds: 300 feet of shared shoreline, your own private boat slip, and instant access to the entire Huron River Chain of Lakes—without the noise, crowds, or chaos of typical waterfront living.
