This cottage was perfect for a family for a week on the lake. The cottage was the best rental I've been to, with plenty of supplies. No need to bring extra paper products, dishwasher detergent, etc. There were even coffee pods for the Keurig, Thank you for a great week.

Buddies Golf Trip

We had a great long weekend at the cabin on Houghton Lake. Our group of 5 guys had plenty of room to sleep, eat, and hang out between our 5 rounds of golf. This was a great location to play Eagle Glen, Snow Snake, Tamaracks, Quest, and Pineview Highlands. The cabin was updated and had everything we needed as well as enough places to sleep for our group. Highly recommend.

Houghton Lake Winter Get-away

This property served us well for a winter get-away. Our group size was five, so the three bedrooms accommodated us without having to use the loft area with the two beds. The kitchen was well equipped for cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner. The towels and linens were in great condition, and there were plenty of blankets and fleeces for the evenings. This was a great staging spot for cross country skiing, and it was close to many restaurants and bars. With Houghton Lake being frozen over, we got to see several snowmobile "parades" right out the family room windows. And we enjoyed the large table that easily sits six people for dining and playing cards.

We were very happy with the whole venue. Sunsets were amazing and the firepit made evenings memorable. Just wish they allowed pets -- my dogs and I are looking for a month long rental for next summer.

Amazing House and Host!

This place is amazing!! We arrived in a Friday morning and stayed for two nights, and it LITERALLY felt like home away from home. All the amenities including bedding, towels and everything you’d need to be beyond comfortable was in place. We had 6 adult guys and were very comfortable with the sleeping situation as well as some R&R during the day. Great location for pizza as well as some great golf in the area. Thanks for being a great host and we can’t wait to come back!

lake front always a plus!

Enjoyed the kayaks, the lake, bonefire, and property. There could be better care in cleaning. House had windows with the great view but dirty. I bought glass cleaner and cleaned. The place could use an overall cleaning. 2 of the windows we could not open for cooler fresh air.

Lovely lake house stay

Check in was super easy. Thanks for the hand-written welcome letter! Owners also bought us s’mores stuff so we didn’t have to! Welcome binder answered all questions. My 5-year-old loved the loft area and swing! Sitting by the bonfire facing the lake was so peaceful. Bugs were quite wild, so maybe some tiki torches or something could help! Also had a few issues with the oven and the grill not working properly, and the master bedroom shower head was broken, but we were the first renters of the season, so hoping my feedback helps others for the season! Would def stay again!
