We checked in on Sept 25th and the cabin was listed with air conditioning. There was none, because they had removed it for the winter. But the host Doug was wonderful about coming right out and put it back in for us. The washing machine had something wrong with it and took all day to run one load. We let Doug know about it. Overall, it was just what we needed for the 3 days. It was very clean and much better than a local hotel. Doug was very accommodating.

This was a really nice unit. Not on the water, but within a few minutes drive time to Houghton Lake, and 20 minutes to Higgins Lake. Lots of beautiful trails, boat launches, and public parks. Located on a quiet street, close to stores and restaurants. Would stay here again. The host was more than accommodating, and made sure every need was met. The house is well equipped, even down to a crate for your dog. The washing machine and dryer were an added bonus!

Great Value, Nice place

When we first pulled into the driveway, my overall impression was this looks very homey. A nice picnic table out front, fire pit in the back, just a relaxing feel. The property itself did not have air conditioning which I didn't know at the time of booking. It was probably listed, I just didn't see it. However, he does have a portable AC unit that was more than sufficient and plenty of fans and fans on stands. The home itself is very clean. Very nice. It did have a slight slant to it. The only thing I would have preferred (this is just a functionality thing), is having the refrigerator door open from the opposite side. Other than that, very very minor complaint, this was an excellent property. Great value for the money and I would stay here again.
