About this property

Cedar Oaks Lakeside Resort - Houghton Lake - Formally Ohana / Riviera Resort.

Cedar Oaks Lakeside Resort - Previously Ohana/Riviera Resort - Under New Ownership

This air conditioned cottage is the perfect space for your family getaway. There is 1 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, a living room with flat screen TV, and a full kitchen.

The best part of this cottage is the access to the gorgeous property and amenities that surround it. You will have access to our 200' dock to fish off of. Please bring your own anchors / tie downs for boat parking. We have over 300' of lakefront to swim and play in, a huge 40'x40' sandbox full of toys for the kids, multiple gas BBQ grills for you to use and many picnic tables for outdoor eating and relaxing. We also have two fire pits to use.

This cottage comes with one set of fresh sheets, blankets and pillows and towels. If you will need more than one set for your stay please bring additional ones as we do not do exchanges or have a washer/dryer available for guest use. There are basic dishes, glasses and silverware and pots/pans for your use, but if you plan on doing a lot of cooking I suggest bringing specific cookware that you want. We do supply you with toilet paper, hand soap, dish soap, and paper towel, but do not refill once it has been used.

If golf is your game there are many great golf courses nearby:
1. The quest is a great track that is close and a great value.
2. We are located 30 min away from Forest Dunes, the number two public course in Michigan (Second to Arcadia). Forest Dunes also just opened the highly anticipated reversible course.
3. You also have The Fox, Redwood Golf Course, The Nightmare, The Dream and Ye Olde Country Club

Main crossroads are M55 (W. West Branch Rd) and East Houghton Lake Dr (also known as 100).

Nice beach resort for families

My husband and I stayed in cabin #9 for three nights on the 4th of July weekend. The resort was clean and our room had a nice view of the beach and the water. We booked this room so that we could bring our pontoon boat but I found out that the water in front of the resort is so shallow that we never would have been able to dock it there anyway, we don't have a prop that tilts sideways. I think we should of been notified about this when we booked. We found some good restaurants in the area and there are lots of entertaining things to do. Joann the resort manager was very nice and helpful but we did have one big issue, our TV would not work. We called her and she instantly came to look at it but couldn't fix it. She said she would send someone else but they never came. We called the next day and again she said she would send someone but nobody ever showed up. Having a TV is a non-negotiable for me so I really wasn't happy about this at all! Overall this room was a good value.

Lakefront View

Great lake front property on Houghton Lake. My family and I stayed for the 4th of July. Check-in/out process was very easy. Cabin could use a little update and love on the furniture and curtain department but nevertheless it was an overall great time.

Loved the view of the lake, with my morning coffee. Manager was awesome, friendly and very helpful. She provided us with everything we needed, during our stay. Drapes need some love, attention repair and update LOL. Over all had an amazing comfortable stay

Quiet getaway

The place has a very retro vibe, a cute little beach and access to the water from the dock or break wall. Appliances and kitchen ware are pretty dated, we ended up going out to eat each time. The staff are super nice and helpful.

First time in Houghton Lake.

The property is dated but clean. Curtains didn't work properly. TV is a dinosaur. The front screen door needs to be repaired before someone gets hurt. It just slams shut on people's backs. Some of the guest treated the property as there own backyard leaving there personal belongs all over the picnic tables for the whole weekend. I was going to request a late checkout but I could not reach anyone by phone or in the office. Regardless of these things I would go back with my young kids. Perfect place for kids!!!!

Cottage 9

Cottage was a good size. Some of the furnishings as well as the plumbing and electrical were in need of repair. The bedroom had over sized bureaus which pushed the bed into the corner. The deck outside lacked proper maintenance. We were just passing through, glad it was only a one night stay.

Nice cottage for family stay

Everything was clean, just pretty outdated. There wasn't dates on when certain things weren't available, like the dock and boats etc. If you have small children and want to bring a DVD player, the TV is not capable. The cable was great though.. considering we knew we'd be wifi-less once we seen the outdated box tv we thought the weekend was going to be rough with a 4 year old and a 9 year old. Bring outside toys, board games . Property management was very sweet and accommodating. A restaurant right next to the cottage was super convenient.

lots of space

Other reviews were pretty accurate. The pull out couches old and uncomfortable but we brought air mattresses. Lots of room. Bed was small and not most comfortable. Everything clean, manager super nice and helpful. Lot of people around us but we could not hear them when we were inside, Worst thing for me was all the goose poop, it would have been nice had someone raked that up

Nice place and friendly Management

This was a nice stay. Perfect if you have a boat. For swimming not so much as access is limited to the water. Would not suggest for anyone who can’t handle steps and slopes. Would like to see updated couch/pull out. Again for an older individual all the couches set very low. The view is beautiful. We enjoyed our 4 night stay.

I'm having a hard time even leaving 1 star

All seemed well and good when I booked online. Quick responses. I started to have my concerns when the local gas station had never heard of them. Issues started at check-in when they asked for a credit card immediately for payment, I had already paid on VRBO and they should have my info on file, gave it to them. They said here's a beach a dock and freshly cleaned. Door was open and as soon as I walked in food was splattered on outside of fridge, both couches were broken, almost all the drawers were broken or dirty, still had huge greasy spots on the dinning table, floors were sticky, back deck area had thick moss growing and when I told them about this they said the snow had just melted. But why not remove it? At this point I was already worried about how well they sanitized it amidst covid-19 and didn't want to get sick, And the cherry on top the reason I rented this place was the view. Everyone said how nice it was. Even the lady at check-in said they had a dock and beach. When I get there the dock was folded and stacked up over 10ft high on the beach. Completely ruins the view and use of the beach. Kind of the reason to rent on a lake. And my answer when brought to their attention "what the h*ll were you going to use a dock for this time of year". Very rude. Refused to give me a refund or a receipt. I didn't spend the night here I ended up having to go to a nicer hotel down the road and pay out of pocket for it. Overall it was a nightmare from the moment I pulled in and was nothing like the pictures look, also dock was noted to be stored. Would have really been upset if I brought a boat. Do your self a favor and don't stay here do what we did and drive around the lake until you find something better.
