    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.

    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.

    Everything was as advertised. Traveled with my parents and sister's family. We took up three cabins and we had the time of our lives. Fishing, shuffle board, grillouts, firepit...every day was filled with something to do. Surrounding neighbors were very friendly and we even got to meet the owner who is a peach of a guy as well. The lake is beautiful, albeit shallow, but we would definitely stay here again. Thanks for everything Tom!

    I thought it was ok.very vintage. And simple but functional. Had everything we needed at the cabin. Just wondered why we paid for housekeeping when we had to strip beds take care of towels and take trash out?also walls were very thin. Could hear a pin drop when you would try to sleep. Some insulation maybe? Thankyou
