My family has been renting this house for the past 4 years as a centrally located place to gather for the holidays. It is the perfect place for our get-together. The house is well maintained and very clean. We're already looking forward to next year!
My family and I stayed for a long weekend in October. This house is very clean. The location right on the water is beautiful. The owner was very responsive and kind. We hope to stay again soon! Do not hesitate to book.
We had a wonderful long family weekend and really enjoyed the cottage!
A great location for our family. Enjoyed spending a lot time on the lake. The house has a great layout for a larger group and was so clean and organized.
Beautiful place on Houghton Lake. Very clean and spacious for our family of 14 (6 adults - 8 grandkids) They thought of everything. Very empresses Thanks for all the memories ❤️
This is the second year my family has stayed at Trails End Lodge. The Lodge is spacious, clean and well maintained. The yard was beautiful with a huge sand area perfect for playing games, sunning by the water and sitting by the campfire. The hosts were very kind and responsive. We can't wait to return!!!
This is the third time we have rented this property. The setup is wonderful for grandparents and two sons’ families (13 in all). They supply everything children need for playing in the sand and water. The house is equally supplied which makes packing so easy. Great place for great memories!
Our growing family has been vacationing at this property for several years now and the anticipation grows from year to year. This property has everything we need to for ages 6 months to 69 years regardless of how the weather cooperates. We will be back in 2024!
It’s a lovely property and the house was spotless. The owner went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. The kitchen had absolutely everything we needed and then some. The garage had bikes, lake toys, just everything. We couldn’t use them because of the weather but it was so generous to supply them. There’s a closet full of extras - tooth brushes, first aid, flashlights - they literally thought of everything. There were coloring books and crayons, games, lots of towels, regular coffee pot plus a Keurig with pods. Half of the backyard was wonderful beach sand which the kids in our family loved! We hid shells for them to hunt and they spent hours playing in the sand. We couldn’t ask for more. Also, for a lake house, there was no mildew smell. It’s a beautiful property and a host who obviously wanted our stay to be comfortable. It was first class in every way. Highly recommend!
Everything was as advertised. We had 12 people and everyone had a place to sleep. Great game room. Close to restaurants, hardware, etc.
Mother in law has not been this excited about a VRBO ever.
Very nice place to stay. Beautiful views of the lake. House was very clean and very accommodating for our family. Very nice game room for entertaining. I would suggest additional furniture in the living area. House sleeps 12 however there is only a couch and love seat to accommodate 5 people in the living area. I would highly recommend this property for vacationing.
Very enjoyable. Nice layout. Enjoying having 2different hangout areas
This was the third year that my family has gathered here for Christmas. The property is always clean and comfortable with all the amenities we need for our Christmas dinner. This year, the weather service was calling for blizzard conditions. We were pleasantly surprised when Nate reached out the day before our scheduled check-in date and offered to allow us to access the house early in order to beat the storm. What a great host! We also had an issue with one of the TVs and Nate and his wife both took a significant amount of time on the day before Christmas working with Spectrum to resolve the issue. You can’t go wrong renting from Nate.
Very nice place. Close to hiking, restaurants and other outdoor activities. Very nice neighborhood! We will be back for sure.
Some things change but the love for this lake never wanes.
Lots of room in the house and plenty of beds to accommodate. The lake is shallow, warm and great for swimming and activities. The yard is perfect for play too, part sand, part lawn. The paddle board and kayaks for use were much appreciated. This property is great for families! Nate let us know that the gas grill igniter wasn’t working as told to him by the previous renters, it could also use some new burners, as it didn’t get very hot and took a long time to cook food. The first morning we discovered the coffee pot wasn’t brewing and we went to Walmart for a new one which Nate offered to reimburse us for but we decided to keep it and bring it with us for future rentals “just in case!” Overall, great stay with the fam!! Beautiful area surrounded by beautiful homes, nice for walking the neighborhood!
Wonderful, we’ll stocked, clean property with everything you need for a fun filled vacation. Great, quiet neighborhood. Separate rec room, bathroom and bedroom perfect for multi-family vacation. Easy check-in, responsive owner. Would definitely rent again.
This was the second time we stayed at Nate’s property and it was as great as it was the first time! The house had been updated since the last time we stayed and everything was perfect. Thanks again Nate!
This 4 bedroom/2 full bath vacation house has everything you need for a great vacation! The game room in the back is perfect to allow the young adults their own space. The best part for us was the ability to vacation with our 2 Great Danes! This one-of-a-kind lake-front rental has it all!
This property is perfect for family members of all ages. There is a sandy beach for the kids, a perfect fire pit and beautiful waterfront for watching gorgeous sunsets over the lake. We will be back next year!
Loved our stay at Trails End Lodge ?
We had a great time! This host provided more amenities than any other property we've stayed at. Highly recommend!!
Very clean, updated house with everything you might possibly need. The rec room was a plus. Gorgeous lake with sandy bottom. Kids especially loved playing in the sand with all the sand toys. Nate responded right away with any questions we had
This home has everything you could ask for.
Fun place to stay. Great communication with host. Thank you!!
