Nice little place

We spent our days away from the home but it had everything we needed and was in a quiet location. I would recommend cleaning the couches better as they smelled really bad of pets.

The perfect place to stay.

My family and I enjoyed our stay at Jonathan's cottage. It was just what I had hoped for, very quiet, clean and close to a beautiful little public beach. Jonathan thought of everything to make our stay cozy and comfortable. If you have any questions, he responds very quickly. Don't hesitate to rent this beautiful cottage, you will be happy you did!

Nice little cottage

Nice little cottage for the family to stay in. We are a family of 5 and there was plenty of room for everyone. The house was clean and is well kept. The owners definitely take care of the place and provided everything and more for their guests. Would recommend staying here. I personally didn’t care for the town but that is no fault of the owners.

Weekend getaway

We love staying here! This is probably the 4th or 5th time booking this home. It’s perfect, especially if you have fur babies. It’s so nice to have a fenced in yard. Perfect for people with side by sides. You can get to all the trails right from the house. We will be back!

Houghton lake weekend trip

We made a last minute reservation to this cottage days before our arrival date. When we got there we were in awe on how beautiful this home was. With a pull out couch, two sets of bunk beds and a separate room with a queen bed-sleeping arraignments worked out perfectly. We were able to make cooked meals due to the full kitchen providing everything (besides food) that we needed. There is a boat launch 30 steps down, and a grocery store 3 minutes up the street. The house host was so helpful with any questions we had. I definitely will be returning next summer!

Perfect House

We had the best time enjoying the beautiful fall colors and wonderful weather for our annual ladies weekend together! The house was perfect and clean and close to town for us to enjoy the restaurants and bars. We walked down to the water each morning to enjoy the beauty. We would definitely stay again, thank you for opening your beautful home to us!
