Abolutely Perfect!
This property was everything and more. From the first look and through checkout. Super clean, fully stocked, even a little in the fridge. Communication with the owners was at a level I've never experienced before. The trip was a success and we even had some ice time. 5 Stars isnt enough. Hope to see how much fun the lake is in the summer. Thank you Matt and Kathy.

Bedrooms Galore
This property was perfect for families- especially traveling with preteen/teenage kids. Everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Property was extremely clean and well maintained. Kitchen was very well stocked. We prepared a Thanksgiving meal and had everything we needed!

Fantastic
What a great trip! This house was one of the best places I’ve booked on Vrbo. The home had everything you needed for your stay. The host was very quick to respond and accommodating. The home had plenty of space with 5 bedrooms and 4 1/2 baths. Close to shopping, bars and restaurants. I highly recommend 🤗

Great property!
We had a great experience working with the owners to arrange for an earlier check in. The property was exactly as stated on the listing. Plenty of room for our group of 12 and kitchen was just what we needed to cook up breakfast and dinner. Would definitely stay again.

This place is PERFECT!
This place has everything, plus more! It was perfect for a week long vacation with our family of 9. It’s exactly as listed. The kitchen is well equipped with anything you could possibly need, including spices, paper products & cleaning supplies. It has all the laundry supplies, toilet paper, Kleenex and paper towel you’ll need while there. The owners are wonderful and very responsive if you have any questions. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a place to stay on Houghton Lake.
