Houghton Lake Family Getaway w/ Fire Pit!

Everything was very nice and clean. We have stayed here 3-4 times, lots of beds and good amount of room.I'm sure we will stay here again.

This place is exactly as it seems. Very well maintained, provided everything you need and more! Excellent communication from the owner and extremely friendly!! They even provided us with a high chair for our baby. Cannot stress enough how easy it was for us to get checked in and out. 10/10 experience and will return again!

We had a wonderful week as a family staying in this home. The location was perfect being on the North end of Houghton Lake. Not as busy as South and it was perfect to dock there and relax as we rented a boat for the week. Although we thought there was a slight beach it was a slanted cement seawall. Since we had no children with us it was not an issue. The accommodations fit well with the amount of people we had with us(6). We did not need the bunk room but it would accomodate kids, not sure about adults as they were twin beds. Had an area with couchs but we did not use that. The screened in porch was nice on mornings you wanted to sit out with your coffee and store all your shoes and swim toys for the night. I usually do not enjoy writing negatives on rentals but there were a couple, although not severe. Just a little TLC needed to the place. Foremost, the kitchen was in desperate need of organization. Many open bags of flour, sugar, etc..that made me squeemish especially in view of bugs at a lake! The cupboards & pantry are in desperate need of cleaning out. The coffee pot needed a cleaning! Couldn't find vinegar to do it. We couldn't find any Zemo filter replacements for the bugs that were an issue at dusk as they entered through the screened porch and infested the living area. Two of the beds could be an issue for someone if they do not like very hard mattresses. All in all was a great place to relax on a great lake.

We had a lovely 5 night stay at Marianne’s Houghton Lake House. There were 8 adults and one 8 year old. This was the start of what I hope will be an annual family getaway tradition! The Lake House was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, and all the pots and pans you would need. We cooked all but 1 of our meals at the house! The home was so comfortable and fit all of us perfectly! We were able to go in the lake the last 2 days and had a blast! Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a large home to accommodate your group, you won’t be disappointed!!

This is our 3rd time staying here. Clean, pleanty of beds 7-8, plus we like the open layout with the kitchen, living room and dining room.We stay up here in January for TUT.

Our expectations were happily exceeded!! The house was absolutely perfect! Clean, well stocked kitchen and towels. Our family of 9 were so comfortable there, the kids room was awesome!! The large kitchen table was so nice, we played games and had great family dinners together. The backyard and the view were fabulous, peaceful and beautiful. The kids loved swimming off the dock, it was shallow and clean. Thank you for a week of making great memories!!

We go yearly on a Mom’s weekend away with the mother’s of our old daycare when our kids were younger. It’s always a good time with the group but this is definitely the best location we’ve ever had. It was just nice to be on the water and be able to spread out. The only thing that we could have used was the screened in porch to be ready, but not that big of a deal, we realized we are not “in season” yet. The rest was perfect.

We go up to Tip Up Town every year and we always rent a cabin. This is the second time we stayed here and enjoyed it both times. Plenty of beds, right on the water, clean and an open layout to gather. There is a bar and grill about a half mile down the street that had decent food as well.

We have rented for years and this house is like being at home. I reported an issue with the outside lights being broke due to a storm and it was fixed within days. Some of the cabinets are in a disarray but that's expected when you have renters in weekly. We love the lake and the location. We rented on 2021, 2022 and have our reservation for 2023.

Great cabin for a stay on the lake. Had everything we needed and lots of space. Felt like home while you were there.
