We used the house primarily to sleep when we were not golfing or visiting friends on the lake. All good on that end.

My family stayed at Romanski for three days over the Fourth of July; there were 7 of us in total. Though the cottage is small, there is a ton of charm, sleeping arrangements were easy due to a room with two bunk beds, and they have one of everything. Want a wine cooler? Got it. Keurig? Yep. Porch seating with a pergola and an outdoor fan? Fire pit? Charcoal grill? Kids toys? Fully stocked kitchen and grilling utensils? Children's plates? They have that too. Just about the only thing Romanski doesn't have is central air. However, they do provide several tilt-adjustable floor fans that worked some magic for us during our stay. We also brought a box fan and placed that in the front window of the living room which really helped to keep things cooler. There is a shed in the back with even more goodies. Cornhole, kids toys, etc. The only thing anyone in our family had to say as a negative was the mattresses. The master bedroom mattress is rock-hard. Additionally, one of the bottom bunk mattresses slopes, so you find yourself rolling to one side. These were minor inconveniences to us - as we spent quite a bit of time on the back deck, grilling, or spending time nearby at Houghton Lake. I would stay at Romanski again and highly recommend it to families or groups of friends who want a nice retreat with a lot of charm.

We enjoyed our stay. Close to the heart of town but none of the excess traffic that comes with it. A lot of small items included for the deck and in the kitchen and bathroom. The back deck is a really nice area to relax on and we were able to accommodate a family of six. The only negatives from our trip stem from the weak internet signal in the home and not having AC. To be fair, it was a very hot weekend and there are several fans available in the home. We made the most of those negatives however and still had a very nice trip. We would book again when we come back to the area.

This cabin was decorated SO adorable and had everything we needed and more!! The renters were very prompt with all communication! Location to Houghton Lake was just across ( the main ) road. The heating is not ideal, as the vent blows into the living space only. So when the heat is on, you were literally sweating while trying to watch a movie or playing a game. But if you shut the bedroom doors/bathroom door it is very chilly. Please keep in mind we only kept the heat at 66°. The room with the queen bed, was where my husband and I slept. The mattress is VERY firm. Just not what we are used to, but if you prefer a firm mattress, it will be perfect for you! Location was not ideal. Yes just a quick walk across the street to the lake, but it is located across the street from a business that constructs sheds. If sleeping in is for you, you might want to consider a different rental property. They begin their work, even on Saturday mornings, by 8 AM or earlier. Other than these issues, like I mentioned, this was a very well taken care of, adorably decorated, clean rental property!
