This home is located right on Houghton Lake, with beautiful views from the sun room, living room, dining room, kitchen and main bedroom! We spent time on both gorgeous decks overlooking the water, and rented a pontoon to explore Houghton Lake. This is a home we wouldn't mind coming back to over and over again!

Everything was excellent. My challenge was with the trundle bed. Both my teen age kids are over 5’8”, so both of them sleeping in the trundle bedroom was not an option which was my plan. And the trundle was very squeaky. Thankfully, my brother is close by, so G’ma had another bedroom option.

Place was absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable, so many nice decorative touches. Owners had a nice welcome gift waiting upon our arrival and checked in with us several times during our stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again and certainly hope to do so in the future. Ron and Karen Michalski

Our family of 4 spent a week here and were joined by my sister/niece and Mom at separate times. Hosts were very accommodating as we stayed under the 8-person cap, even though we booked for only 4. Made sure to ask/communicate first. Kitchen had pretty much anything you'd want/need; if we didn't find something, we just kept looking and found it eventually! Beds were comfy and linens were good. Very quiet street. Looked like the houses on either side were owner occupied but there were definitely a few other short-term rentals along the stretch. Everyone was very friendly. I'm not a fan of Wal-mart, but it's truly the best place for grocery shopping in town. For more interesting (but smaller) selection, check out R&G Best Choice Market just down the road. Best farmstand store was Bart's, on the other side of town. Lakeland recreation was a fun stop for mini golf (Monday is $10 for all you can golf, from 11a-6p). The house gets VERY bright early in the day, so you may want a sleep mask if you're looking to sleep in. Air conditioning is guest-controllable, which was a pleasant surprise. There's an exposed HDMI cable if you bring your own streaming device. You may want an extension cord or two, depending on what you're trying to do around the house. There are a few night lights, but bring your own if you need more. We'd definitely recommend a stay, we had a great time!

Lake House Was Gorgeous!
Lake House Was Gorgeous!
This vacation we used VRBO for the very first time. The process was super easy. The rental was exactly as described on the website if not better. The house was VERY clean, decorated very pretty. The house was cozy, comfy, a nice home-away-from- home feel for us. The deck was such a nice space to relax on. A huge plus was the yard and the steps that were so easy to use to get to the lake. The house had everything you could think of. I over packed, that's for sure. The owners had a great open line of communication with us. Our children didn't want to leave. They enjoyed this vacation more than I could have ever imagined. Thank you for letting us stay in your beautiful home!

Very nice home
Very nice home
We enjoyed our stay, very nice home with the lake just outside the windows! Perfect view from windows!! The Sun porch - screened (with windows ) was so nice to relax in. Step out onto the 2 tier deck to enjoy Both Sunrise & Sunsets!! Enjoyed my morning coffee on both deck or porch! We used the grill provided for hamburgers one night. Master bedroom is a nice size, open roomy family room includes dining room & huge kitchen. Very clean and everything you may need while you stay! We rented a pontoon boat for a day from Brians Marina and pulled up to Lakeside Inn for lunch. Also had dinner at Limberlost. Both meals were delicious. Save a lot was very close by for last minute things. Owners were very nice and answered any questions we had. Would definitely stay again!!
