Thank you!! We love having people stay at the resort in the off season! Come back in the summer and enjoy the green grass, fantastic beach and live the lake life!
My son & I stayed in Beaver Cabin. It was clean and had all the starter amenities as described. This was our second time staying there and renting a boat.
We we're impressed by the amenities and cleanliness of our cabin. We had a lovely view of Houghton lake from the cabin. Very rustic log cabin feeling you'd expect and love. Heater in the living room also kept the place cozy and extra blankets are provided. we hope to come back in the summer to enjoy the outdoor activities they offer.

Thank you! We hope to see you back! Summer is AWESOME on Houghton Lake.
Was exactly as described. Kayaks on site for use with small beach and water access. Dogs allowed so it made a quick last-minute stay perfect. Host on site to greet which was very nice. Only stayed one night but had everything we needed.
These adorable cabins are perfect for a girls weekend or a quick family trip. The view of Houghton Lake is amazing. The cabin is intimate in size but comfortable. The amenities provided were very thoughtful and the cabin was clean.
I will definitely be returning!
We decided last minute to get away for the weekend without the kids. This was a perfect little cabin for us and we took advantage of the kayaks on the lake. The owner/manager was very responsive and communicated wonderfully. We were pleased.

Quaint clean and cozy cottage! Wonderful grounds with great swimming. Gradually goes into deep end so a great swimming experience for little ones.
Jamie answered all my questions with kindness and friendliness!
We plan on booking for next summer!
Cute, clean cabins. Very convenient w/ most supplies already there. Loved that the beach, dock were right there& my son enjoyed the swing as well!
We had to cut trip short by a day & owner was kind enough to give us a credit to use at a later date. Highly recommend!😊
Cute little cabins on the lake with dock for our boat. Cabin has everything you need - just pack clothes and food and you are all set. Property is nice and room for parking trailer. Was great to get a one night rental so close to the water. Tom is great to work with and answers questions quickly.
First day was great weather was perfect fire that evening perfect location for star gazing and watching the Perseus Meteor shower . Second day Stormed day and night. Cabin seemed small TV didn’t work. Still a good stay overall
