The house is perfect for boating or enjoying the water. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Plenty of parking for regular vehicles, but we didn’t have room to park our trucks and trailers. In order to unload and ride we had to find and pay for offsite parking for our truck and trailer.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 August 2026
We're so glad the location worked well for boating and that the home felt clean and comfortable during your stay. The driveway is designed to comfortably fit up to four vehicles including pickup trucks, but we understand that two 24ft trailers along with trucks required more space than a typical neighborhood driveway can offer. We're sorry for the inconvenience this caused and appreciate you sharing your experience so future guests with larger trailers can plan ahead.

Great place

This cottage was extremely clean and very cute. It’s right on the water and the water is great for swimming. It’s close to shopping and activities for rainy days. I would definitely recommend this place to other people.

This lake house was very nice reminded me of my grandparents cottage with the knotty pine in the living room. Great view of the water nice sandy swim area. Saw a Bald Eagle in the front yard tree (very cool). I would go back again.

Cottage was nice. Everything was clean. The dock held my boat nicely (Lund 18' Fishing Boat). Although the lake is shallow in that area.

Houghton Lake Home with dock

The property was just as described. We had a wonderful time. The neighbors were great, having our boat docked right there was perfect. The deck is perfect for enjoying the lakeviews. Master bedroom bed was super comfortable. The owner was very wuick to respond to questions.
