Cedar Oaks Lakeside Resort - Houghton Lake - Formally Ohana / Riviera Resort.

There was a bit of confusion at check in due to the vrbo listing and what the property manager thought the booking was, but it was quickly cleared up by the manager who went out of her way to make sure we got the most out of our time there. The rooms are definitely dated and could use some updates, but for an up north cabin, it didn't matter any to us. Everything was clean, which was the important thing. The property has fire pits and a sandbox and a restaurant on site (we were only on town overnight and didn't get it). It also has access to Houghton Lake and a nice sandy bottom that you can walk out hundreds of feet into. At night we built a fire in the giant pit and roasted marshmallows. Although it was a friend's trip, the property would be excellent for families with all the outdoor play space and water access (ladder from dock or angled sea wall). This is not a luxury listing but it was clean and comfortable. The beds were small but comfortable, with plenty of linens and towels provided. We enjoyed out stay and would certainly consider staying again.

Property was beautiful. Perfect spot on the lake to enjoy the sunset. Property manager extremely nice and made sure we were enjoying ourselves. We will be back next year with whole family.

Really Terrible.... Dirty inside and out.

The owners of this property should be ashamed of themselves. I have pictures of the conditions that we stayed in. Susie the property manager was great with us , however what she has on her hands is something I would walk away from. I would like to know if the owners who live in West Bloomfield would stay one hour with their families in the cabins. We were in 10 and 11. I am going to say absolutely not! I will be reaching out for a complete refund and will pursue any other action if need be.

Check in process was easy. Cottages were dated and needed repairs. The screen wouldn't stay on track in one cottage and the other cottage the screen needed to be repaired. At one point mgmt asked me to fix it. The property has potential but was overtaken by goose droppings. Another guest complained and mgmt handed her a rake to clean the beach area. The sand box was also full of goose droppings. Again, the property has potential just needs some TLC and property upkeep

Not worth the cost for stay. The rentals are outdated. The screen doors on both units were broke. A/C didn't work in one unit. The stove in another. The beds were run down including fold out. Couch were old with crap seats. Filthy under the bed.. All outside furniture grills etc is first come first serve. One tie out in lake that couldn't hold a jet ski. The photos of rentals are deceiving...the view is of lake is accurate-it is beautiful. Wouldnt stay again

Great place to rest and enjoy outdoor activities. Conveniently located very near good restaurant and bar, Blake's.

Good location right on the lake for a weekend of ice fishing with friends. The cottages could use some updates and our door was difficult to open and close. Other than that, it was fine for our purposes. The office staff were all very friendly too!

Location was great. The rooms were not as clean as they could have been. Found mask in the couch and q tip in the bedroom. Sleeper sofas worked better as a couch. The restaurant offered great food and tasty cocktails with a great view.

We had a great time! The views from our cabin were incredible. The sandbox was a hit with our kids! The staff accomadated our needs. Perfect getaway on the lake!
