This was a very peaceful place to spend the weekend. It's in a good location. It was super close to a grocery store and coffee shop. I will definitely stay again!
the location of the cabin was excellent, so beautiful on the lake, the sunsets were amazing! the amenities were perfect, very cute cottage with everything you needed.
The cabin was very nice and exactly as described. Location couldn’t have been better we were close to restaurants and groceries and even though the weather kept us off Houghton Lake there were other lakes close by that we were able to fish. Would highly recommend both this cabin and the area itself.
It was very neat, clean. We didnt eat in. Just coffee in morning. Three seniors lady enjoying the cottage. The little porch was so cute. Good place to read. Really a nice get away.
We stayed at this cabin for 10 days, it was perfect. Great clean cabin with plenty to do in the area. The host was wonderful and took great care to make sure that we had all of what we needed to make it enjoyable.

Thank you, Scott, we would gladly have you again. Looking forward to it
My family and I enjoyed staying here at this place which is conveniently located by the lake shore. This made lake access very nice so that we could ice fish on the lake. I would consider another stay by maybe in the future!
left florida for the cool north, only to endure a heat wave in michigan.. not the hosts fault. the cabin was better than most, but the description of the section of mud by the lake as a beach, not good.and, the elevated walkway is wobbly, terrible, felt like it is unsafe.

Mother Nature was certainly throwing us a curve ball this year!
Yes, we had hot weather AND a massive seaweed "mud" mass washed ashore before your arrival. From what I understand, it's never been so bad on the south part of the lake as is was this year.
We hired a company that came out and cleaned it up, but it took time.
In the meantime, I had installed steps at the end of the dock so guests could get into the Sandy swimming area without touching the weeds.
Docks can feel wobbly, but I assure you, it's safe.
I'm sincerely sorry you didn't enjoy your trip to Cabin 2.
Easy to get to right in town. Good parking for truck, boat and car. Owner Dave went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed.
Will definitely be back if we are able next year.
What a great week at a great place! The house was very clean and comfortable. The host was very prompt in answering and questions and had someone right there for any issues that arose. The 3-seasons room was a joy to sit in. A+ property and host. You will love staying here!
Very nice Florida room was an added benefit for snowy gear . Would of liked a coffee maker that was a full pot, but very nice that kireig coffe was made available. Close to all activities . Very comfortable furniture.
Weather not so good but the stay was awesome very cozy in the cabin . Would definitely come and stay again .Enjoyed it very much .

About the host
Hosted by Sarah Weatherington
There is a certain magic to Northern Michigan that you just can't find anywhere else. Having grown up here, I’ve spent my life enjoying the lakes, the forests, and the changing seasons. My mission is to share that magic with you. I provide vacation rentals not just as a business, but as a way to help families and friends create the same kind of lifelong Michigan memories that I treasure. Welcome to your home away from home!
Why they chose this property
Because Houghton Lake is Michigan’s ultimate playground! I picked this specific neighborhood because it offers a quiet retreat just a stone's throw from all-season adventures like fishing, snowmobiling, and boating. You get all the convenience of being near the best shops and trails, but with the tranquil atmosphere of a residential lakeside community.
What makes this property unique
Our property is unique because it offers a front-row seat to Michigan’s largest inland lake with the comfort of a private sanctuary. Guests love our light-filled sunroom for relaxing regardless of the weather, and our kayaks and paddleboards make getting on the water effortless. End your day at the fire pit in our quiet neighborhood—it’s the authentic, hassle-free Michigan getaway you’ve been looking for.
