Great vacation!

This house was perfect for what we needed. We spent so much time on the amazing deck. The only downside was the parking was a little tight with a big truck, but we made it work. Great property!

Fantastic Stay

Had a fantastic stay. Cottage is very charming. Views from deck were amazing and plenty of furniture to lounge around on. Great parking spot for pontoon on the dock and have a spot for the trailer just down the road. Beds and furniture in the cottage were very comfortable. Would recommend.

Our family had such a great time. Lisa and John were great hosts! We had everything we needed and more. They truly thought of everything. We loved being able to just hop on our boat from the dock. Our adult kids enjoyed fishing. Easy check in and check out. Made some great memories. We would definitely stay again!

Wonderful

My dad, husband, and I had a great time staying at this place. My dad was able to bring his boat and tie it to the dock right on the property. We had pretty good luck fishing on the lake! House was clean and we loved being on the deck. We would definitely go back to this place!

Beautiful cabin on Houghton Lake

The cabin was everything I hoped for. It was beautifully decorated and the view is just beautiful!! It is equipped with everything you would need. Had a few questions and Lisa responded fast. Thank you for letting me stay at your beautiful cabin. I’m already planning my next time to come back!

Perfect Lake house

Our family of 6 adults and one baby stayed for a 3 day weekend. We loved having the private dock to tie up our water toys and boat, as well as the house comes with some fun floaties and kayaks. The house was stocked very well for us to cook at home or close to restaurants. Great air conditioning for the summer and we will be back for winter time! We fit three vehicles in the parking space but you wouldn't have too much room for a trailer etc. Marina is close by.

Great place!

We have stayed at Houghton Lake over the past years and this has been our favorite place, yet! Some little things, like, could use a “pooper scooper” for geese poop on the property. Also, I accidentally left my make-up bag (while trying to pack up with an autistic son) and it wasn’t found, as of yet…. My Apple Watch that was inside the bag was charged fully and still not located, at this time…. But besides that, GREAT view, great location, great stay….

Beautiful property, nice location, pretty good value.

My brothers and I take a week-long fishing trip each spring. We had never been to Houghton so we thought it would be worth a try. This lake is pretty tough to fish and the wind never stopped. Caught some fish but moved to St. Helen Lake where we caught a lot of nice fish. Only issue we had was the house is on a four lane race track around the lake, very difficult to park a boat trailer in the driveway, two boat trailers was difficult. Owner was nice and responsive. Nice touches include a custom Welcome sign and fluffy white towels. Went to most of the restaurants around the lake, nice people and good food everywhere. Good trip.
