    Three of us came up for a weekend of ice fishing. The house had plenty of room for us and our gear. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen had plenty of room as well.

    This is a nice property! The house looks just as it is pictured. It is very comfortable and we had a great and relaxing stay here. We rented a boat one day and played mini golf another day. The dart board and air hockey table provided many hours of entertainment for us. The house is close to stores and restaurants, so if you want to cook in or go out this is the perfect place. We had a great time here.

    This was our second time staying here. Very nice view. Good sized house. We had a nice long weekend with family. Could use a bit of updating, better mattresses, couch, pans in kitchen. The grill was brand new and very nice!

    The house served our purposes. The access to the lake and low tide was great for our kids. Convenient location, close to other family members.

    This was a cozy property and we all had a great time. The property had everything you needed. There is no beach which we didn’t realize but the water is so shallow in that area, it was a lot of fun!

    The house was very clean and in a great location, close to town. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. We enjoyed having a fire under the stars and walking out to the sandbar during sunset. Our dogs loved playing in the shallow water and roaming the backyard which they did at ease with the partial fencing. Will definitely book again!

    This is a wonderful cottage right on the sand bar at Houghton Lake. The cottage was perfect for our party of 6–my wife and I, our 2 year old and 4 year old, and my parents. We had a wonderful time relaxing and swimming. Our kids had a blast. Highly recommended!
