Very happy with this stay. Doug was communicative and friendly. The house was in a great area with access to stores and highways and so close to the lake. We checked in with no issues and found this cute little home to be cozy and clean. Would definitely stay here again.

Nice central location, clean & welcoming

Rental Home is close to many restaurants, shopping, boat launches, and beach. Fishing was not so good the 2nd week of June but it was fun being on the water. Beds were comfortable, sheets and blankets soft. Grandchildren who stayed with us a couple of days commented that the house was "homey". We agreed.

Girls Getaway

The property was nice with all everything that we needed for our stay. It is an older home and appears that the owner has made several updates. Would consider this listing if ever in the area again. (P.S. Maybe time to purchase a new toaster. When the items are done, it doesn't pop up. Either have to unplug and remove item with knife or tip toaster upside down to remove item) Enjoyed out time in Houghton Lake.

Nice cabin

Nice place, clean and organized. 2 small issues. The heat register in the bathroom doorway is a toe killer! You could replace with a proper one designed to be on a floor and fit flush. Secondly the neighbor was burning his trash/plastic about 20 feet outside the front door the entire time we were there, I understand there isn't much you can do about it but I thought it should be mentioned.
