The property and the location of it couldn't have been any better. Very quiet location and the views were great. Bedrooms and bathroom are quite small, but doable. All and all, a very nice, peaceful place.

Cottage was up to date, cozy, and clean. It is on the south side of Houghton lake so it can get very windy and wavy but when calmer its beautiful swimming. Beautiful sunsets!! Overall perfect cottage for couple or small family of 3.

Fabulous views- great place to stay

Loved our time here- we came in the middle of winter and the hosts had extra blankets in every room. There is everything you need here and the views can’t be beat. We’d love to come back!

We enjoyed our stay at the cottage in Prudenville, in spite of mostly cloudy weather and cold temps. We were hoping to see more fall color, but that is never predictable. This seems to be year of more muted colors, but they were lovely. The cottage was very clean, and the view of the lake is outstanding. As a previous comment said, from inside the cottage you almost feel like you are on a boat, except there’s no swaying! The cottage is smaller than the pictures make it appear—especially the bedrooms are very tight, but the beds are comfortable and there is good use of space for hanging or using a dresser. The bathroom is also very tight, but supplies are plentiful. Parking is a little awkward, but once the neighbor told us how to maneuver, it was fine. Our favorite dinner was at Randy’s Family Restaurant. If I lived nearby I’d be a regular!
