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!

Great stay up North.

We enjoyed our second stay here. The house was neat and clean, and we found everything we needed. It had plenty of room and 2 nice big bathrooms. Despite some morning showers, the evening weather was perfect for a warm fire out back. Definitely plan on staying again

Guys weekend riding trails

A group of us guys in the family spent the weekend up here to go ride the trails. Great little house that had many amenities you wouldn’t think you’d get. Access right to the trails and not too far from good local restaurants. Will definitely be looking to stay here again sometime.

This is a nice, well kept property in a great location with lots of room to relax and stocked with everything someone could need. Theres a fire pit in the back (with stacked firewood) and enough chairs for everyone to enjoy a s’more or two. We also got to meet Annie, the sweet Golden Retriever next door. Thanks for a great stay and the banana bread was a pleasant surprise.

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💕💕
