We are a group of ladies that do fall weekends at Houghton Lake. This was the best house we have visited. Very cozy, clean, organized, appointed with anything and everything you could need. Beds were comfortable, closets clean and approachable for storage and the outside property was quiet and beyond pleasant/relaxing. Sonia was very responsive and kind with communications. Looking forward to a winter weekend in the new year. Thank you

Peaceful, Cozy, Quiet - Early Fall Long Weekend

The house was perfect for our family of five. The lake view and generous size yard were better than we expected. The house was clean, comfortable, and well appointed with everything you need for a stay away from home. We would definitely stay here again to get away from the hustle and bustle and just relax.

Great for a girls weekend

The communication was great from the house manager. The house was clean and stocked very well. Loved the labels on the cabinets and the amount of extras it would make it really easy to have a family stay there. We had a girls weekend and outdoor space was perfect for hanging out.
