Overall great. It had everything we needed and located in a great area.

We had a great stay in this cozy cabin! Everything was as advertised on the listing and was very clean. We had three people and it was comfortable. 6 would be a bit tight but definitely workable. It was 90 degrees while we were there and the ac kept us plenty cool. We brought our boat and loved the proximity to the boat launch. The driveway is a touch narrow but absolutely doable.
Hosts were polite and good with communication. We will be back in the future!

Only good things to say about our stay! Great location close to the lake and property was super clean and accommodating. Would definitely stay here again.

Our stay was pretty good. The cabin was cute. However it did need to have updated linens sheets and bedspreads. It was nice to extra blankets. The mattresses seemed to be worn out as well. Even though the couches were slip covered they also were saggy. The only other observation was the appliances were not properly cleaned from previous guests. The cabin was in walking distance to beach area. The outside was kept very tidy. I did appreciate the immediate response from the property manager about items that were broken from previous tennants. I would stay here again.

We selected this place due to its access to Houghton Lake and because it was a great home base to be able to venture out and see various sites in Northern Michigan. It did not disappoint.
The place was spotless with a small stock of snacks/beverages upon arrival. We had some confusion about using the door code to get in and the property manager walked us thru it immediately - very helpful.
Just be aware that if you intend to do a trip that will entail washing clothes, this place does not have a washer/dryer (not an issue for us).

This was my first trip to Houghton Lake and I have to say that it was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. The Cabin was wonderful! The property manager touched base as we entered the property and gave us a mini tour. He even had snacks on the table and bottled water in the refrigerator waiting for us. Shampoo, lotion, body wash he had everything perfect for our stay. My fiance' and I enjoyed the fireplace, we brought wood but, wood was cut and stacked for us to use. What an amazing place to stay. I look forward to going and staying at the Cabin again!!!

Cabin close to the lake, wihin walking distance. Good location and perfect for our anniversary stay.

The house was very clean, and the amenities were excellent. There was firewood in the house for use, water in the refrigerator and snacks. The thing that fell short for us was the furniture. The couches were low and not very comfortable. The recliner was old and tilted to the left. The beds both tilted inward towards the middle of the mattress. Sleep is so important, and those beds and or mattresses needed replacing.

We have family and Lake City. So we were not at the cabin very often.
Pretty much just to sleep, but it was a very nice place.

Very cozy and clean cabin, perfect location for our ice fishing weekend.
5.0
Definitely a nice place. Very accommodating communication with property manager. I would definitely stay again. Only 1 knock and it is a very small one. It would be very tough to sleep 6 as the max occupancy says. There would be no place to move. But a very comfortable stay for our small group.

We really enjoyed our stay. It was really a great place to get away from busy life schedule we have in Florida. Mark and Donna were really helpful on letting us know about how to work everything in the cabin. Will definitely come back

We would definitely stay again! It was the perfect size for us, it was very clean and smelled good! The bathroom towels and bed linens were very nice and soft, not the typical hard hotel linens. We were looking for accommodations close to a boat launch, and this was perfect!

Cabin is tastefully decorated as an "Up North" retreat. Managers were in touch before check-in during and afterwards. We had to call management because the key pad quit working but with a quick phone call, it was very easily reset. There were extra bathroom amenities like shower gels, shampoo's etc., you are free to use.
On the kitchen table was a decent assortment of snacks to eat. There was a Keurig machine with plenty of different coffees to sample. We used the outdoor fire pit one evening, and that was fun for roasting hotdogs and marshmallows. The bed were clean and comfy. Wall AC units in all the rooms kept the place plenty cool.
Would certainly recommend this cabin to friends and family!

Such a welcoming cabin experience! We wanted for nothing and thoroughly enjoyed our time.
The personalized experience of renting this cabin was incredible. Every convenience was provided, including a welcoming phone call to explain details like using the AC units and the televisions. A basket of snacks were waiting for us in the kitchen, and essential toiletries were in the bathroom in case they were needed. The check-in process was very easy and we were just able to relax and enjoy. This is the perfect location for exploring, either more locally in the lake area or to other areas like Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Frankenmuth and points more northward. Our family had a truly wonderful time and would highly recommend renting!

We had a great time at the cabin for our short romantic getaway. The cabin was clean and cozy. We spent the day fishing in Higgins Lake, eating out at the Limberlost, and relaxing! We will definitely be back!

From the pictures on the website it “looks” pretty much the same. But the cleaning of the cabin is minimal at best. The window in the kitchen was full of dead bugs had to keep blinds closed. The bathroom towels smelled like smoke. This is suppose to be a nonsmoking cabin. Called contact person she offered to bring more towels but we found others that did not smell-that we still had to hang outside. The owner left sparkling juice to welcome us which was nice but there was broken wine glass. The fire pit was not cleaned out from the last visitors. And we were to take out all trash which we did and the trash container was completely full before we even tried to shove ours into it. The refrigerator leaked twice. It stopped leaking on its own. Our contact person would call us back. Donna told us she would put issues on a list and tell owner. When we were checking out I sent her a last email told her I wanted the manager to call me. She said okay. He has not. I’ve stayed in quite a few VRBOs this did not meet our expectations. We will not stay at his properties or be recommending this place.

Visiting family for a memorial service
Cute cabin. Donna was very responsive and helpful. The bathroom towels were super soft and smelled great. Perfect house for just me and my husband. We will stay there again next time we are in town.

Perfect
This was a last minute trip booked 5 days before we arrived. Super quick response with check in information. Cabin was perfect for a little weekend get away. Lots of detail put into making the stay as comfortable as possible. From the cleaning supplies left to everything you need for a fire in the fireplace. Thank you again for a all around great experience.
