Family visit

We had a wonderful time staying in this cottage! We were visiting our grandmother and we were looking for a quiet place near her home. This place was perfect! It is a very comfortable place in a nice neighborhood. It had all of the comforts of home and we look forward to staying here again! Its a cozy cottage with nice views of the lake!

Wonderful cabin stay!

Jeff was awesome in communicating when needed. Cabin was super clean. Comfortable and quiet. We had my 4 year old and she had a blast. So many options for beach vacation.

Houghton Lake stay

The home seemed if it had never been updated and the plugs would not stay in the receptacles. The toilet was a problem from day 1 as it wouldn't accept much toilet paper and seemed as if it was always going to over flow. Therefore it had to be flushed more than once while using not to clog it or overflow.The fire-pit had a lot to desire. Also there was wood but no kindling. During our stay we found another place that was spectacular and right next to the lake. I would never waste my time or gas to go back. Sorry Jeff.

This was a beautiful cabin located on one of the prettiest streets in Houghton Lake! The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed! Jeff was a great host and had exceptional communication ensuring we had a wonderful stay! Just a very short walk down to the water where we were able to watch a gorgeous sunset. Will definitely be staying here again!! Thank you Jeff!!!
