Great summer vacation place

This was our 10th year @ the View. Our family looks forward to our week here each summer. The swimming in front or the cottage is always lots of fun. We also enjoy the boating and on the weekends the east side of the lake has a sand bar that always has tons of boats and families playing together. The campfires each night are a great time to enjoy storytelling. The guys do a lot of fishing. The house is always full of friends and family and there is plenty of room for everybody. We already have next year reserved and can't wait till summer is here again. Our hosts are now good friends after 10 years of renting. I highly recommend it for a great vacation place.

Incredible view from this property and a perfect place to watch the sunset. I certainly won't argue that AT ALL! Be aware that if you decide to rent here, the dryer (clothes) is a COMMERCIAL dryer. Bring your quarters!!! This is not disclosed on the owner's listing here and it REALLY should be. Washer was not commercial, though. We utilized the clothes line for wet towels and swimsuits. Also...owner does stay in the "beach house" and DOES utilize the dock that you are paying to use so you are, pretty much, "sharing" the dock if the owner is staying on the premises. These cottages are, pretty much, rather close together at this location. There were some loud nights, but Houghton Lake is known as the "party lake"..if you are into that kind of stuff, it's for you! King bed was EXTREMELY comfortable, though, but the furniture could use an upholstery cleaner as there were some smells of "we've been used a lot and haven't been cleaned". Fire pit was awesome to have.....:) The beach chairs down by the fire pit are extremely worn and what is left of the upholstery is very ragged and need replacing. May want to bring your own. Sea Wall is a tad of a hindrance for swimming (especially to smaller, more timid children), but it is on EVERY property on this lake and not the fault of the owner....just something to be aware of when considering. ALSO....swimmer's itch is a GIVEN in this lake (even after bathing my kiddos got it). Be prepared for it. Again, not the owner's fault, but something we really wish we knew beforehand. LOVED Arnie's and some of the smaller stores/shops in the area. Coyls restaurant was a hit, too. Not too far of a roadtrip to Traverse City and a small drive to West Branch (Outlet).

Great Place for Tip Up Town

We have been coming to this house for years for Tip Up Town the last week of January. This is a great house for large group of people. My high school buddies have been getting together for years and found this house and will come back here for TUT till they kick us out. Our ring of friends has grown from just high school buddies to buddies of buddy’s and this house has the accommodations to handle as many people as we have for the weekend. We have people come in from all over the country for this event. (Myself from Texas) and could not think of a better place for our yearly reunion. Come and enjoy this house in any season but just remember that the last week of January is ours.

What a wonderful home to spend a week and more at!! We experienced Michigan weather from 90's hot and humid to low 60's cold and raining. Fortunately, the home is roomy and comfortable enough that our whole family was able to relax and enjoy. We witnessed a bald eagle on the hunt, only feet from the home and were grateful for the excellent view from all the windows. The home is well maintained and equipped very well. The owners were very helpful and kind. It was conveniently located near stores, restaurants and entertainment. A definite "return to" vacation spot. Thanks again to our host.
