    What a wonderful vacation we had! The kids and adults had the best time. So many activities here to do, the Oggs really thought of everything. The boat was a bonus and you can fish right off the dock as we caught 3 pike.

    Check in went very well. We were able to get in 30 minutes early. Everything about the house was just as described. We enjoyed fishing off the dock in the canal. We used the pontoon every day of our stay. Our family made a lot of fun memories.

    We had a family vacation and had a great time. Lots of fun activities at the house and the boat was a hit. The first time going through the canal was difficult but then we knew where all the logs were located so it was much easier after. I would recommend this house.

    I expected to play air hockey at boat on the lake during down time with my daughter, but the weather and our energy levels didn’t cooperate. Still, we were so comfortable and relaxed! Outstandingly appointed kitchen!! Very comfortable beds- I slept great! Natural light, convenient to everything but also private.

    Was a bit apprehensive about the time of year coming from the CA desert I do not like cold. The house and boat were everything they advertised and very clean. The weather was perfect and very few bugs/mosquitoes so I was very happy. Everything you could possibly need was on site and the garage would be a child's dream with all the games and activities there. Over all the house and boat were awesome (ride out to the lake can be a challenge (we had an extendable 8ft plastic gaff with us) wich made it much easier. The weather and Location was perfect for our needs and the Restuarant just down the street has amazing food. Great time and great place would highly recommend.

    This was our second time at this home. Unfortunately this time was disappointing. The best part was the boat. Apart from that the home is not well maintained with old fixtures and old furniture inside - old patio furniture and rusty/dirty grill outside. Leaky kitchen ceiling and kitchen sink. Also ants in the 2 bedrooms. Sadly these conditions made the stay unsatisfactory.

    We are from California and 1st. time visit Houghton Lake, Michigan for our family reunion. We are so impress with Houghton Cove property that our family stayed at. This property was very clean, quiet and so much games for our grand children to play in the play room. Even though we have 2 days with bad weather, rain and high winds. But we have the last 3 days with very nice weather. We took a pontoon to cruise around the Houghton Lake, took many pictures and stop couple spots to swim. Make our comments short. We would highly recommend this Houghton Cove property to anyone if you planning to visit Houghton Lake. You will not regret for anything around this property. Our family has so much memories and fun’s during our stay at Houghton Cove. Will be back in next year without a second thoughts….

    We had the most wonderful time at this property! Very clean, great communication, friendly neighbors, and everything we needed! We had so much fun on the water, and Randy was very helpful with the boat. There were plenty of activities provided to keep us busy! 10/10 recommend!

    Been renting VRBO for 9 years. This home by far has been the best yet. Tons of extras like games and kayaks. Best stocked house for blankets, kitchen supplies and so on. Owner was easy to communicate with and everything was in place as promised. Definitely recommend.
