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.

Cute, Comfortable, Perfect Stay

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.

Weekend Getaway

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!

A Weekend Getaway

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.

Cute, clean, convenient

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!😊

Cabin on the lake

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.
