The house was neat and tidy, with a large yard. Very convenient to stores and restaurants. Downside: large black ants in the kitchen and sheer curtains on all of the windows. No privacy.

This is a nice quiet place to stay (with a large yard!) in a neighborhood close to all that Houghton Lake has to offer. Host was very accommodating with excellent, responsive communication with a toilet issue that we had. The house was clean and organized on arrival and check in was extremely easy.

Response from VrboOwner on 28 Jun 2026
Hi Tom. Thank you so much for your kind consideration. You were my second guest for this year and I found out who the culprit is for the toilet issue. My first guest flushed down a bottle of deodorant down the toilet. My plumber was able to fish it out. I guess the toilet was still working coz I didnt get any complaints from them until it finally get real stuck somewhere down the line then you guys checked in. I closed my cabin for the winter and nobody stays there the whole time. I check everything after dewinterizing. I appreciate your patience and understanding.

Clean and comfortable

We’re a family of five and this was a perfect stay for us. Comfortable, clean, nothing fancy, just what we needed with no frills. The yard is beautiful and I love that it’s all fenced in. Made me feel very safe that my little ones could play outside with minimal supervision. Would definitely stay here again.
