We really enjoyed our stay at this cottage. The house was cute, clean and very well equipped. Host was very responsive and friendly. Property very pet friendly with fenced backyard. The only drawback we experienced was the local and street fireworks all weekend (over 4th of July) was very very loud so beware if your dogs are sensitive to this, or if you have PTSD.

Houghton cabin

I stayed at this cozy clean cabin over Labor Day weekend with my family. The cabin was close to the boat launch. There were breathtaking views of the sunsets and clear skies for viewing the stars at night. The host went above and beyond supplying snacks and coffee firewood and much more!We didn’t lack anything on this trip.
