Water Front Cottage - Golden Coast of Houghton Lake, MI

Our family had a great Labor Day vacation at the Pickled Pike!! The vacation started with great communication with the host and continued to not disappoint the rest of the vacation. The house was exactly as described and the lake front was awesome for swimming and relaxing. The neighbors were extremely nice and their dog Henry was my sons best friend for the entire vacation. Thank you Tom and Michelle for allowing us to enjoy your vacation property. We will definitely return when our busy schedules allow us to. Thanks again!!

The house is exactly as described. Perfect location right on the lake. We enjoyed our stay and will be returning!

VERY RELAXING PLACE TO STAY

This place is exactly as described. It is very cozy. This is my second time renting, and it is just as clean as 6 years ago! Do not hesitate to book, you will not be disappointed. The hosts thought of everything to feel like home. Thank you Michell and Tom!

Very impressive place! Well supplied, cozy, and cheerful! I'd definitely stay here again. The owners were exceptionally accommodating and attentive!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this lakeside home. The water is just steps away, and we loved taking our kayaks with our kiddos. Also loves using the fire pit for s’mores. The home was clean and comfortable and came with all the necessary amenities. The property owner is great with communication and even helped us find a cabin nearby for friends who were looking for a last minute place to stay.

Very nice, clean property. Well stocked kitchen. Beautiful lake that's great for fishing and kayaking.

The faculty is clean, well equipped and maintained, and centrally located. The checkin process is smooth and efficient.

My husband and I spent my first day of retirement at this amazing property. I wanted to spend time doing a puzzle, reading, and really didn't want to do anything that required much thought. The Pickled Pike was the perfect location with great views from the inside and perfectly placed deck chairs for reading and relaxing. From communication to cleanliness, I cannot rave enough about the experience. The Mayflies did greet us upon arrival, yet their life cycle is VERY short and when these creatures arrive is unpredictable and doesn't just happen at Houghton Lake. One of the things that really impressed me was the dock and the dock chairs--neither were splintered--both were weathered and smooth. It was my favorite spot to read. The water level around the dock would be perfect for launching a kayak, which is what I would like to do on a return trip. If I wished for anything, it would have been for the deck chair back to be a bit higher to lay my head back to take a nap. Thank you for sharing your property.

Great time for me and my wife’s 50’th anniversary
