Adorable lake house with comfortable beds, super soft towels, and nice attention to detail from the host. All 8 of us were able to sit together around the table and play games in the evening. The couches were comfy too, and we spent a relaxing morning chatting there with our coffee. It was beautifully calm and quiet in the morning, letting us spend time on the screened-in deck as well.Overall, great stay, and I would not hesitate to come back here.

Great stay!

We loved it here! When we arrived we found fresh flowers and Valentine's candy, which was completely unexpected and just made the trip feel extra special. Aly and Georgia were very friendly and easy to communicate with. The place was spotless and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing on the couch and looking out at the beautiful frozen lake. It's located close to the X-country ski headquarters which was a big plus for us. We would definitely return.

Georgia was wonderful to communicate with. There was an issue with 2 bedrooms being warm but worked out great . We were worried we had the heat adjusted improperly. Thank you for a very nice home

Thank you so much for staying with us. I’m glad the fans and A/C unit provided some circulation for that unseasonable pop of warm air. We would love to host you again in Houghton Lake!

Wonderful property! Owner forgot to update about no longer any cable, so they sent us a snack/dessert delivery. Next time we will remember to bring our Ruku password. The beds were comfy and we would of had plenty of room to bring more family members with us with no problem. Kids would have loved the lake. I enjoyed taking out one of the kayaks for a paddle. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware,spices,and a coffee station. We used the gas grill, the airfryer, and the crockpot. It was wonderful to sit outside or in the screened room and listen to the waves. There were several golf courses close and we played 4 days. The closest party store closed at 6 on Sunday but we found another one just a few miles away. There is no question that we would like to come and stay here again!
