About this cottage rental
Enjoy our cozy cottage with lake views from living room, kitchen, and family room. We have a fully stocked kitchen if you choose to eat in. A gas grill is available for your use. We have 2 kayaks and an assortment of life preservers to enable you to explore the water - there is a wonderful sandbar very nearby.
After day on the water or trail, or golf course, return to the cottage and enjoy the fire pit out back.
The lake access is a 4 minute walk to a warm, shallow, sandy bottom - perfect for young ones!
Relaxing and unwinding is the sole purpose!

All was good except for issues with toilet. The Host was amazing and we worked together to fix the problem.

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.

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!

Jeff was THE most friendly and engaging host we have had the pleasure of dealing with through VRBO over the years. Everything was perfect...and you will not be able to find a better property (and overall experience) in the area. Thanks 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!

Will definitely be staying here again!! Thank you Jeff!!!

Great place to stay. Close to lake and Walmart. The VRBO map location does not match the Google location. Google maps puts it closer to the lake.

Better Than Expected
Very nice with all the amenities. The property was clean with no shortage of cookware, bath supplies, a spacious refrigerator and freezer, stove and microwave. The property sits right across the street from Houghton lake with a nice lake view out the dining room window. I used the Internet with no problems, the main reason I went there. Overall, the neighborhood was quiet and peaceful. There was no hint of cigarette smoke or mildew. There was even a Keurig Coffee maker stocked with coffee pods and a wireless phone charger. Wow, a barbecue and kayaks, what else could you want.
Jeff was responsive to my messages which made it pleasant. I would highly suggest staying there to my friends and family. It's worth every penny and more.

Winter Visit
We visited during February, and while we’re not snow mobilers or into ice fishing, we still had a lovely stay. Hartwick Pines is just a short drive away and was beautiful and so quiet all covered in snow, and my 3 year-old got a kick out of standing on a very frozen Houghton Lake. The house was comfortable, and the owners checked in on us frequently to make sure we had everything we needed. The home is obviously well-loved and cared for, the evidence of pride of ownership present despite everything being buried in snow. We’d love to visit again during the summer months.

Ice fishing get away
This lil cottage exceeded our expectations. It was very clean and had everything that a couple of fisherman needed. The owner contacted me a couple times to see if there was anything we needed and to see how we were doing. I'd give more than 5 stars if it was possible. If we ever back this way we'll definitely stay here again!

Wonderful stay!
Everything was seamless with this property owner. From the moment we decided on this sweet cabin, to our arrival, friendliness of neighbors and location and departure, we couldn’t have asked for more. We highly recommend this place for a quiet place to enjoy Houghton Lake.
