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

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!

We stayed at this beautiful home for Witches Weekend in Houghton Lake. At first I thought the house was very tiny. However, i was pleasantly surprised at all of the same and the cozy feeling of the house. The beds were a 10 out of 10!

Wonderful lake house

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.

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.

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!

We loved this cottage right on the lake. It was very clean, had all the things you needed for your stay, and plenty of room for a bigger group. The weather was fabulous and the owners very helpful and prompt to answer a question I had about entering the property. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfect for us! The only drawback would be the one bathroom. We ate breakfast at MJ's, really good, and at Garrett's Family Diner which had the most delicious American fried potatoes.

This property was awesome. It was the first time we have ever done this and it was a siblings getaway and we all had kayaks so we wanted to be on the water. There were tons of games for us to play in case of rain. The house was clean, well taken care of! We plan on going again for a longer time!! Loved sitting out by the fire at night looking at lights across the lake and just being able to relax, it was so peaceful.

The cottage worked out perfect for our family. Kids 12 & 7. We rented a boat down at Heights Marina and enjoyed a day of boating and fishing. Cottage was clean and had everything we needed to cook. The yard games were great and overall the time away was just what we needed. Make sure you stop at the custard cup at least once. Its delicious! Perfect location with beautiful sunrises and awesome lake views. You wont be disappointed in this cottage.

Amazing cabin!

Amazing cabin!

Upon walking into the cabin, it was immediately apparent that the owners take great pride in their property! The cabin is well kept w/ new amenities (AC unit, TVs, WiFi, cable, etc). The backyard offered a breathtaking view of the lake and personal dock for ease of access to/from our pontoon rental. In addition, we really enjoyed the firepit in the evening. Overall, exceptional cabin. We definitely intend to rent again next year! Thanks Sue & Chris for the great Houghton Lake memories w/ our fam!

Classic little cottage on a beautiful lake!

Classic little cottage on a beautiful lake!

This is a charming little cottage right on the water on Houghton Lake. It was a perfect location for the hottest days of the summer as we were able to wade in the waist deep water right off the dock. The lake is shallow and beautiful. The cottage was well taken care of, clean, and stocked full of supplies. Chris and Sue were great hosts and it was a great “up north” escape for my wife and I and our young kids!

PERFECT - Just what you’re looking for!

PERFECT - Just what you’re looking for!

Let me start off my saying... this place is beautiful!!! You simply will not be disappointed. If you don’t want to read this long, great, helpful review. Read no more & know that this place was PERFECT! Chris and Sue were amazing to work with. Let me also note, their neighbor is wonderful!!!! She was so helpful with parking and things to do (although you don’t need anything other than the lake and great company). On to the property.. The house is great. Sleeps tons of people! They have blankets, extra beds/mattresses for you and 2 couches that pull out into a bed! Chris and Sue were so accommodating to our group. I mentioned it’s a bachelorette weekend (not a rowdy bunch) for my sister to simply enjoy the water and each other and without hesitation, they said absolutely! And also said we could put a tent out if needed (but little did I know.. we definitely didn’t need it). 10 of us slept comfortably in that house. They also had yard games for us to use!!!! Huge huge bonus! They had chairs and a bonfire which made for a great night. One thing to note with a big group, be sure to bring lots of coolers with you. The fridge space is filled quickly when you bring pre made containers (not a big deal at all). Also note: try to carpool as there is a parking ordinance and you must be off the street at night. We brought a ton of floaties and kayaks/paddle boards and enjoyed the beautiful water that is literally right there and so shallow for quite a ways!! I really cannot say enough good things about this house, the location and how great the owners treated us. We will absolutely be back!!!!!

Great Lakefront Property!

Great Lakefront Property!

Wanted a quiet getaway on the water and this place fit the bill nicely. Small 3 bedroom home with lots of beds for a small-medium group. Beautiful view of the lake and yard felt semi private with the landscaping and fence. Fire pit and deck were great to enjoy. Owner communication was great and spoke before arriving at the property for any additional information. Everything felt clean and just what we were looking for, would rent again!
