Lakeside Home: Speakeasy Game Room & Hot Tub
Sunrise Vista is the kind of place where everyone exhales a little deeper the moment they arrive. Mornings begin with sunlight on the water and coffee shared without rushing. Days unfold together, free from schedules, and evenings naturally gather everyone back in one place. It’s a home designed for connection, where conversations linger, laughter comes easily, and time slows down. If you’re looking to get away, reset, and truly relax together, Sunrise Vista offers that space.
Located directly on the peaceful shores of Porters Lake, this upscale lakefront home blends comfort with the easy rhythm of lake life. Porters Lake is a large, scenic freshwater lake spanning over 1,200 acres, offering plenty of open water while still feeling calm and uncrowded. It’s ideal for swimming, paddling, fishing, and quiet time on the water.
The home offers approximately 2,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space and comfortably sleeps up to 10 guests. There are three bedrooms, including a king bedroom, a queen bedroom, and a bunk room with four queen-size bunks. Each bedroom includes a smart TV, ceiling fan, phone charging station, room-darkening shades, and a sound machine to support restful, uninterrupted sleep.
Two full bathrooms are fully stocked with plush towels and premium toiletries, including shampoo, conditioner, body wash, makeup washcloths, and a blow dryer, making it easy to settle in without overpacking.
The fully equipped kitchen is designed for shared meals and relaxed mornings. It features modern appliances, a gas stove with a built-in air fryer, and generous prep space. A dedicated coffee bar includes a dual coffee maker, French press, and a starter supply of coffee, teas, and syrups. A waffle station with mix and toppings is also provided and is a guest favorite.
The main living room offers a large, comfortable sectional for gathering, while the bright sunroom provides additional seating, a pull-out sofa, and a game table with peaceful lake views. Bluetooth speakers are available so you can enjoy music throughout the home.
Downstairs, the game room offers entertainment for all ages, including pool, foosball, ping pong, shuffleboard, Pac-Man arcade, air hockey, giant Connect 4, and ring toss. An electric fireplace and large smart TV make it a cozy space for movie nights and winding down together.
For guests who enjoy staying active, the converted garage fitness room includes free weights, a cable machine, an exercise bike, and yoga mats.
Families traveling with little ones will appreciate the baby-friendly setup designed to make packing easier. The home includes a portable crib with sheets and blankets, a changing pad, baby bath, high chair, stroller, and a selection of toys to help younger guests feel comfortable and at home.
Sunrise Vista is also pet friendly. We know fur babies are part of the family and deserve a vacation too. A pet fee applies, and we ask that guests review the house rules to ensure a comfortable stay for everyone.
Outdoor living is where Sunrise Vista truly shines. Guests enjoy private lake access with a dedicated pier that’s perfect for swimming, fishing, or simply sitting with your feet in the water. Porters Lake is known for recreational fishing, with species such as bass, bluegills, crappies, and northern pike commonly found in the lake. A large lily pad is provided for floating and relaxing on the water during warmer months.
Evenings can be spent gathered around the firepit, with firewood provided, or enjoying meals outdoors using the propane grill and flat-top grill. Hammocks offer a peaceful place to unwind, and bird feeders around the property make this a favorite spot for birdwatchers. The hot tub is available year-round, offering a relaxing way to end the day in any season.
Seasonal lake amenities, including kayaks, paddleboards, a pedal boat, and the lily pad, are available from late April through October, weather permitting.
Sunrise Vista is ideal for guests seeking a quiet, upscale lakefront retreat where connection, relaxation, and shared time together are the focus.

We had a fantastic time at sunrise vista. Check-in was super easy and the place was even better than advertised. View in the mornings was amazing and access to the lake was great with all the amenities available and used. Kayaking, paddle boarding, boats. The entertainment room kept us busy in the evenings and we played games and watched movies every night. 10 out of 10!

Super Relaxing, Beautiful, & Fun!
Polling our family of six, ages 21 through 65, here are our experiences at Sunrise Vista:The setting is peaceful, beautiful, and private. The house is clean with no cobwebs or odors, and the house rules are sensible, allowing for relaxation.There's fun for all ages in the well-appointed game room with billiards, ping pong, air hockey, and board games, perfect for family bonding. We loved the “Flapper Girl” theme!The no-wake lake is clear and calm, ideal for paddle boarding and kayaking. Our adult kids enjoyed swimming from the pontoon. There’s abundant wildlife, including turtles, loons, and eagles. Birdwatchers will appreciate the setting, bird feeders, and abundance of species - I did!The fire pit provided memorable evenings with plenty of wood supplied by the hosts. The hot tub and lovely yard enhance outdoor enjoyment.The beds are comfortable. The bunk room has four queen beds, perfect for both adults (plenty of headroom) and kids. The kitchen is well-stocked with essentials. We really appreciated the provided toiletries and beach towels to minimize packing.Overall, it was one of our most relaxing stays. Thanks to Becky and Eric for their thoughtful hospitality and quick communication!

Great Lakefront Property
We really enjoyed our stay at Sunrise Vista! Communication and check in/out were great. The property is remote and has direct access to the lake. We used the paddle boards and kayaks daily. We also took advantage of the pontoon rental and had fun swimming in the middle of the lake. A couple afternoons we had rain, so the adults and kids had a great time with the basement games (pool, ping pong, shuffle board, etc). Every night we ended with a bonfire! Thanks Eric and Becky for a great week!

Spring break
Beautiful location! Super friendly and helpful hosts. Very responsive even came out to fix the hot tub for us! Loved the house and all the games and activities. Really loved the sitting area out by the fire. Only tiny negative is the basement floor must not be level (just how old houses are) cause rhe pool table isn't level. A tiny thing when you have all the other pluses!!! Would definitely stay here again! We loved that they had an old school Nintendo game for us to play!!! So much fun!

Porter Lake Retreat
We had a wonderful stay at Sunrise Vista on Porter’s Lake! The property was amazing big and everything inside was well thought out and organized. We enjoyed swimming, boating, kayaking, and fishing off the dock! We loved hanging outside around the bonfire pit and taking in as much fresh air as we could. The cottage is spacious, clean and had everything we needed for our stay. We enjoyed playing games in the basement on some rainy evening. Overall we had a great family vacation!

Beautiful home and property
We just stayed for 5 days with our 4 kids 8 and under and had a wonderful time even with some hit or miss weather. The home and property has literally every amenity you could need. Lots of baby stuff and dog items which was super helpful and eliminated the need to pack everything. I like to cook and the kitchen was well stocked and they even had a spice rack which was wonderful. We had some rain and we were able to play board games with the kids, used the stand up paddle boards and the paddle boat. Caught quite a few bass while we were there and the kids enjoyed catching and releasing turtles lol. The home is beautiful and the owners were so thoughtful. Definitely 5 stars

Perfect start to summer!
We just left & all I can say is WOW! We just spent the week & had the most incredible time! This house is not only set up for fun outside, but has lots of things to do in case there is a rainy/chilly inside day. Our kids loved the basement so much! We had lots of good weather & soaked up the sun in the kayaks, the pontoon, the paddle boards, the hot tub & the peddle boat! Lots of amazing fishing, too! The house is set up for everything - lots of extra blankets, fully stocked kitchen, which was great considering we cooked every meal at the house, extra toiletries in case we forgot something, beach towels, etc! They really didn’t miss anything! PLUS, it’s adorable!
Thank you for creating such an amazing space for people to enjoy, we can’t wait to come back!!

Peaceful getaway!
This location was perfect for our family get together. I love that there were no neighbors very close by and that I didn’t have to worry about my adult children making too much noise. There’s not a single thing that I felt we could’ve used or anyway they could make the experience any better than they did. Becky and Eric Had so many little extras that just added to the comfort of the weekend. We enjoyed the pontoon boat on the no wake lake. I think we were the only boat on the lake, it was beautiful. There were so many extra games that entertained every person of ever age. The kitchen was appropriately stocked. And big enough to feed a crowd. Thank you for sharing your little piece of paradise with our family.
