No fishing

The front of the cottage is deceiving from pictures-the pit for the fire should be cleaned out I rented a pontoon and they had theirs there and a jet ski on the other side it should’ve been moved while we were staying there the lake is really shallow you can’t fish from deck you can walk out 100 yards and it’s not over your head no good fishing you have to rent a boat I didn’t know that I went for fishing and had another expense for pontoon I should of been told

Perfect Cottage

This was a perfect cottage for our relaxing girls' week on the lake. Great location close to shopping, hiking, kayaking and exploring surrounding areas. Cottage was very clean and having 3 separate bedrooms was a plus. Beds were very comfortable and cottage had great deck for morning coffee. Nice assortment of games, books and movies for rainy days. Beautiful views right on the lake with private dock and stairs into the water. We will definitely be returning again!

Wonderful lake house

This vacation rental is in a good location. Water is shallow and good for kids to swim or float. My husband caught many fish including walleye and pike. Two good restaurants on the water. Lake house is clean and their is ample space for everyone. At one point, we had 5 adults and 4 children. The beds are all extremely comfortable. There is a nice furnished living room, and sun room with good TV programming. The owners have provided very nice landscaping with beautiful potted plants. We enjoyed our stay and would fully recommend this vacation rental for your next visit to Houghton Lake.

Ice Fishing Fun!

The owner was very kind and accommodating. Very easy check in process. Very clean house and property. It's close to many stores and restaurants. We had 7 adults and everyone had their own space. Direct access to the lake and cold weather made it perfect for ice fishing 🎣! We had a bonfire in the snow and there were plenty of games to play. The beds were very comfy. It was a great time and a perfect home. Thank you to the owners for giving us the opportunity to enjoy my husband's 40th birthday with close friends.

Much needed break, house "fit" perfectly!

House fit 4teens, aunt and parents perfectly. Beds were comfortable, and 2 TVs - allowed for gaming on one and movies on the other. One bath and kitchen had everything needed and owners were VERY helpful and responsive! "Hard water" sports were fun this time and want to stay again for "soft water" sports this summer! Thanks Sue&Chris!
