    We had the most relaxing week here playing cards, fishing off the dock, and going on our boat to the sandbar daily. The house had everything we needed and then some! The beds were all super comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The host was very welcoming and responsive and even touched base with us on check-in day to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful end of summer vacation!

    Beautiful spacious lake home with everything you need to have for a vacation filled with family memories. Easy check in and out, lovey kitchen for family meals together and out door fire pit for fun. Our Grandson loved fishing off the dock and we walked just a few steps to swimming in the lake!

    Our family enjoyed our stay on Houghton Lake. The house was perfect for our group of 7. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the beds were so comfortable. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed and more. I appreciated that the basics- dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, trash bags, etc were supplied - such a nice bonus. We loved kayaking and paddle-boarding through the channel out to the lake. There’s another great channel just to the right that we spent hours paddling. We loved walking down the street to the dock and watching sunsets. We ate at Spikehorn - great food and very reasonably priced.The house is on a channel that wasn’t great for floating or swimming, but we had fun fishing. We rented a pontoon from Suncatchers - they bring the boat right to the house! We had fun out on the water, at the sandbars and going for sunset rides. There’s no grill, but we cooked over the fire a couple times. Lots of outdoor seats. There’s a coffee shop and ice cream stop about 3 minutes down the road that we enjoyed. We also loved Limberlost restaurant. There’s a park very close with pickleball courts and that was fun. Overall it was a great trip and would definitely recommend this house for a stay on Houghton Lake.

    The home was better than the pictures. There is a beautiful wood table large enough for all 8 guests to sit comfortably around to enjoy a meal or for family games. It was impeccably cleaned. Everything you need is there and available for use in the kitchen. I like to cook my own food rather than going out to eat. The owners have a book helping you to know what is around to do or good restaurants nearby. The owners answer any text messages in a timely manner. We had a great stay!

    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.

    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 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.

    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
