Beautiful refurbished cottage. Oak flooring was easy to clean and maintain. Perfect dwelling on the water for a family with children. Sandy shallow (0'-2') of water for several 100 feet from shore until deeper water.

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. It was very clean and well stocked. The large dock was great for reading a book while the kids played in the water or watching the beautiful sunsets each night. Thank you to our hosts, it was just the vacation we needed to recharge.

From the get go, Kyle was incredibly attentive and detailed about our stay. His check-in instructions and property information were thorough and helpful. The house is stocked with the essentials, and is in a perfect location for picking up groceries. There are plenty of spots to find a comfy seat inside the spacious living room. The bedrooms were perfect for our family, and had nice touches like ceiling fans and updated outlets for charging devices. The spa bathroom was an unexpected plus! The outdoor space was also perfect for us, as we were able to walk out in the shallow water or chill on the lily pad. We would definitely stay here again!

This cottage was amazing and so very comfortable! A home away from home... It has GREAT amenities and personal touches. The sunset views were the absolute best!!! Loved the waterfront side with end to end windows. Dock was awesome. This home is very well taken care of. Owners were very friendly and available whenever needed. We would stay here again and again! LOVED IT!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! OX ❤

This was the perfect spot for our family! We were looking for a place to relax, have fun, and hang out. After our first full day, my 14 year old son said, “This place is so comfortable. It feels like home.” Kyle and Suzanne have done a great job thinking of everything a group might need or want during their stay. We made so many incredible memories here!

My family and I wanted to do a nice vacation without leaving the state. What we found was a beautiful spot right on Houghton Lake. Kyle’s cottage was exactly what we needed!! The scenery is stunning. We sat out and watched the sunsets and sunrises. Also there was a family of ducks that were quite entertaining to watch as they were around each day. The cottage itself was very cute and just the size we needed. I loved the ability to open the back door walls and listen to the waves. Also a huge benefit was the outdoor speakers and fire pit which we used almost daily/nightly. The only downside was we had a couple of rainy stormy days but there many things to do in town or we just stayed in one day and played family games. Kyle was very accommodating and hospitable. We can’t say how much we appreciated that! Thank you Kyle!!

Our family rents lake cottages in Michigan every summer. This was the most accommodating thus far! Pros (of which there are many!) - Great and easy communication with Kyle - Lake access was clean and sandy - House was spotless and modern - Plenty of outside seating - Had everything we needed - plenty of towels, well stocked kitchen including all the utensils needed, napkins, plates, foil, and even a couple of snacks to get us started! - Extra throw blankets were a real plus as it was pretty chilly when we stayed. Cons (of which there are very few): - House is right on M-55, so lots of traffic including emergency vehicles daily could be heard while sitting outside. (Not inside though) - Master bed is very firm to the point we found it rather uncomfortable. But again - some may prefer firm. Other notes: - Water is only knee high very far out, this could be a pro or a con depending on what your goals are. We wanted to do a little fishing and kids wanted to "swim." They were still able to use their kayaks and our paddle boards and we waded around a lot.

Great cottage with everything you need for a fun vacation. Beautiful sunsets and view over the lake.
