Weekend Away
This house is a very nice place to stay. It has a nice size yard with a great view of the lake. It rained all weekend, but we made the best of it.

Great location….easy to find!
We had a very enjoyable vacation. The location made it easy to get to the places we most enjoy. Beds were comfortable and sheets very soft. We used the kayaks a lot! They were a nice perk!!

Houghton Lake Trip
First, the key to the door was very difficult. We had to play with it every time for a minute of two. Second, there was hair all over bathroom floor. Hair on the sheets. No mattress pad. Cheap, cheap sheets and towels. Very uncomfortable bed. I think the worst thing was the smell throughout the entire house of strong artificial air freshener. It was strong. We could not find out where it was coming from. We took off the cover to inside air-conditioner. It wasn't in there. But the filter was filthy. We were very disappointed and came early.

Perfect spot on the lake!
Our family really enjoyed our stay over the July 4th holiday. This house is quaint, comfortable, and well kept with nice neighbors. Plenty of docking space and calm waters for our tritoon and wave runners. Very short boat ride to a popular sandbar. Thank you for sharing your space with us.

Perfect vacation spot
I hesitate to write this because we would like to make sure this place is available next summer! Squeaky clean home with a great layout. The master bedroom had amazing views of the water and was separated from the other two bedrooms. Boat launch blocks away and a very quiet neighborhood with friendly neighbors. The views were amazing and we even had fireworks our last night.
