Golf Trip with the guys

It was perfect for our golf trip ... great place to lay your head at night. We had everything we needed to make breakfast every morning. We went in to town to the Springbrook Inn (The Frog Tiki Bar) and that place was great to hang out at and grab some dinner. Overall great experience!

I believe this was the third time we stayed at this house. We were at the lake for a family reunion. However, we were disappointed when we arrived, to see that the carpets on the kitchen (at least) were not vacuumed.

Making memories

We loved your cozy cottage, and it was fully stocked. Also the neighborhood was really quiet and friendly 💕. Loved going to North Higgins state park for the day on friday before the rain. Saturday was spent at Sullivan beach which was very nice and relaxing. Thank you for allowing us to stay here💕💕

Great location!

Gwenda’s place is located in a quiet neighborhood with mature trees. Kitchen is well-equipped. A pan of of homemade brownies awaited us at check-in. Our gracious hostess provided wood for the backyard fire pit and charcoal and starter fluid for the grill. Short drive to Sullivan Beach and Dairy Queen.

This was the 1st time u ever used this type of booking. It went very well.

Property is your typical up north cabin/house. The host is very nice and you can tell she really keeps property clean and accommodating for her guests. We were 5 males, 1 adult and 4 teen boys. We had plenty of space and 2 bathrooms was a major bonus. We had a very nice stay.

Our stay was great, plenty of room for the 5 of us staying. We also had family members come for the day, and we all enjoyed the atmosphere, and the things to do in Houghton Lake. The house was well equipped with everything we might have forgotten back home. We loved being in the backyard having bonfires every night.

Nice place to stay

Property had everything needed for our stay. Plenty of room. Unfortunately we stayed the hottest weekend of the year, right about 95 plus or minus 2 degrees. No fault of the owner. The portable air conditioner couldn’t keep up with heat.

This is just as stated, it is very spacious. Any issues that are had are met head on with the owner. I loved the old school VHS and the variety of movies. Also, the charcoal grill. I love grilled vittles in the fresh up north air. :)Would definitely stay again. Thank you!

Houghton Lake Snowmobiling Trip

This rental is absolutely perfect for snowmobiling trip. The house was roomy and comfortable. Its location to the trails is great go down two unplowed city streets and cross M55, then you're at the trail connector. Plenty of room for two vehicles, my 27' enclosed trailer plus the 4 sleds. As long as there's snow, I would definitely book this place again!
