Resting and recuperating

Lovely, comfortable cottage. Perfect for three individual adults. Loved sitting by the water. One swam as weather permitted. One relaxed and one was recuperating from a recent fall. A good place to be. Some wind and rain….but it’s Michigan.

Amazing week to disconnect and reconnect!

Lovely cabin right on the lake with a dock to tie-up our boat. The cabin was clean and had anything you would need for a comfortable stay. Easy check-in and check-out and the owners were easily assessable if needed. The kitchen was fully stocked with anything needed to prepare meals. Great water pressure in the shower! Clean, fresh linens throughout. The lake was relatively quiet during the week and busier on the weekend. Everyone we encountered was friendly and helpful. Had a couple great meals at the very nearby Limberlost bar and grill, which is right on the water. Having the boat launch steps away from the cabin was perfect! My husband and I will definitely be back!!

Awesome week at the lake!!

The cabin was just as described. Pictures represent the location well. It was a super easy check in and check out. The owners were very friendly and helpful, although we didn’t have any concerns that required the owners during our stay! We brought out small ski boat and a jet ski. The boat launch is super close and we’re able to keep them on the dock. We also brought two kayaks and a inflatable paddle board. Super easy to put them in the water from the dock. The water is shallow so it was perfect for the kids to jump in and play. Awesome fire pit to sit and relax with the waves and star gaze in the evenings. If you are looking for a small family getaway at a great rate this is your place.

Houghton Lake Vacation

Cabin was very clean and well equipped. Property owners were easy to contact about minor questions. Boat launch is very close to the cabin so put our jet ski in was easy and ORV trailhead is only a couple miles down the road.

Relaxation on the lake

This little cabin was an absolute gem. Tony and his family went above and beyond. The cabin is well stocked, comfy and cozy. Lake access is right outside your door, with a fantastic fire pit overlooking the sunsets. We had a fantastic week!
