Porter Place – Classic 4BR Lake House with Dock, Kayaks & 2 Full Kitchens

Porter Place is a cozy, family-friendly lake house tucked into the quiet Sugar Creek area of Lake of Egypt. With a nostalgic “grandma’s lake house” charm, this spacious home is perfect for large families and multi-generation trips. It sleeps up to 11 with three queen bedrooms and a bunk room that kids will love. Enjoy two full kitchens, two living rooms, a covered porch overlooking the lake, and a private U-shaped dock with clean, deep water for swimming, kayaking, and fishing. Three kayaks and a canoe are included for your stay.

Note: The home sits on a steep hill and offers a classic (not newly updated) interior—ideal for active families and value-focused travelers who want affordable lakefront access.
