Super cute cottage

Family fun, very spacious, clean, had everything you could need. Fun fishing on the channel right in the back yard. The street was quit, with a cute dock at the end of the road where you could watch the sunset.

Cozy lake house

We brought our boat up and stayed in August. There was a nice dock to park our boat and make it easily get into the lake although parts are slightly shallow. The cabin had everything we needed and was very tidy and clean and we had great communication from the host.

Nice place

Nice roomy home, comfortable beds, furnished nicely. Lots of amenities. Loved sitting out in the gazebo overlooking the water. Negatives; we were supposed to get possession at 4-4:30, but cleaning people hadn’t shown up yet.

Family vacation

It I could give it 10+ stars I definitely would. Everything about the house is exactly how it shows in the photos. Lots of room, clean . Has everything you need . The owner was so quick to respond back when I had a question. Very nice . The only thing I would recommend is to cut/trim down the brushes in front of the dinning room window. So we could have a better view of the channel since it covers about 80% of the window. Other than that we were very pleased . And definitely would recommend it to everyone . Definitely would stay again

ONE MORE WISH

We loved the cabin and it was stocked with everything we needed and plenty of room. Much needed: a clock in the Master bedroom and living room, along with a boat too👍 If this were mine, I'd trim back all the shrubs and weeds covering the bay window and cutting the view of the channel by 80%, plus the spiders need to be cleared off the channel side back door.

Couples Week Vacation

We had an awesome time at this property. My husband and I went for a week vacation with another couple. We had the best time. The owner was so easy to work with as was the property manager. There was plenty of room for all of us to have our personal space and our own bathrooms. We went for walks to the end of the street to watch the fabulous sunsets and we even met other couples on the street who were very nice. The town was very nice also. I would definitely recommend this property if you are going on vacation either with other adults or kids. We will be back and I won't even look for other properties in the area.

Off season relax and reconnect

Fall vacations for me is more of a time out to relax , smell the coffee, enjoy the changing of another season, and enjoy having absolutely nothing to do other than taking time out to communicate with each other. My family has grown and moved on with their own families and individually it was nice to share time, conversation, and good meals. This is my second time spent at this house and it remains one of the most comfortable place I have ever stayed and would look forward to in the future. Thank you for sharing your home with me.

This place is huge on the inside, great kitchen/dining area and huge living room with big screen TV (including movie subscriptions & DVD's). Three Alexa's in the house, along with washer/dryer/all the amenities. All newer furnishings and decor - very nice! We'll be back again. Room for two pontoons at the seawall - boat launch right across the river.

lovely home with anything just about everything you need

The home is lovely and spacious, with plenty of space to spread out. The home is right on the canal and gave us plenty of room to dock our boat and both jet skis. The location was so great for fishing, the guys spent hours out there catching all kinds of fish. Each bedroom had AC window units which made them all comfortable. The common spaces only had fans and the dining room/kitchen were fairly comfortable but the living room and sun room were hot and muggy on the days it was 90 degree days. This wasnt the worst thing since we could be out on the water on those days. We did have a few small issues come up during our stay, but they were immediately addressed and taken care of by both the owner and the property manager, very impressed!

Great place!!

The property is super clean and smells wonderful. The kitchen is well stocked as far as cooking and baking goes. The beds are very comfortable even the bunk beds. The only down side is there is not any view of Houghton Lake you are on a channel looking at the homes on the other side of the channel. This is the best home I have rented on water in Michigan, I just wish it had a better view. If you have a boat or jetski stay here it's amazing!!!!!
