Beautiful location!

This was our second time staying here. Very nice view. Good sized house. We had a nice long weekend with family. Could use a bit of updating, better mattresses, couch, pans in kitchen. The grill was brand new and very nice!

Great family vacation!

This was a cozy property and we all had a great time. The property had everything you needed. There is no beach which we didn’t realize but the water is so shallow in that area, it was a lot of fun!

Cozy Getaway

The house was very clean and in a great location, close to town. We had everything we needed in the kitchen. We enjoyed having a fire under the stars and walking out to the sandbar during sunset. Our dogs loved playing in the shallow water and roaming the backyard which they did at ease with the partial fencing. Will definitely book again!

Beautiful Lake House

This is a wonderful cottage right on the sand bar at Houghton Lake. The cottage was perfect for our party of 6–my wife and I, our 2 year old and 4 year old, and my parents. We had a wonderful time relaxing and swimming. Our kids had a blast. Highly recommended!

Great Place, Neighborhood & Location

On the water at Houghton Lake, felt right at home, entirely well-stocked & everything worked, it was a perfect 4 days! We drove around the entire lake & it seemed we were in the best location possible, private yet only a 2 or 3 minute drive to everything!

GREAT GETAWAY

My brother, his son and I stayed here between 11/19/2022 and 11/23/2022 for a 4 day rest and to binge watch Yellowstone. The first morning we noticed it a little cold in the house and kept trying to turn it up but it wouldn't warm up. I was texting back and forth with the owner. She at first couldn't find anyone to call to come out and fix or look at it. So she ordered from Home Depot an electric fireplace heater for the front room until we could get it fixed. Here husband came in from his hunting trip to check things out and see what he could do. By then we had a furnace guy there and they let him do his thing. By the end of the evening we had heat and was comfortable the rest of our stay. She told us not to worry about being out right at 10am, to take our time. Plus she refunded our pet fee for the inconvenience of having to go pick up a heater and find a heating guy. (I just so happened to know a guy) So, great people to rent from. The house is right on the lake in Prudenville and was very clean and nice. I would stay here again, only maybe summer time next time. Cheryl

Second Stay and can't wait to go back again

This is a lovely property and the host is always helpful and responsive. We had a great time and the place had everything we needed (for cooking, relaxing on a rainy day, playing in the yard/lake). We used the bedroom with 2 beds for a pack n play for our little. It could have fit in the other rooms a bit but it would be tighter. A wonderful location, can't beat the lake and view, and a very nice property. Thank you for everything, can't wait to bring the family back in the future!

Houghton Lake Holiday

This home is a gem on the lake. The view is spectacular to be enjoyed from the yard or the sun porch. The house was very clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked. If I may suggest two additions, an ice cream scoop and some wine glasses would be welcome additions. Check in and out was easy and efficient. There is plenty of seating on the patio, and a lovely table and chairs for six. The neighborhood is quiet and well maintained although it wasn’t summer yet. Communication with the contact was helpful. She even called our first evening to make sure all was well.
