This property works perfectly for us when we come into town to visit family. The house is clean and full of amenities and the hosts are very responsive. We have stayed here now twice and have a great time both times! Thank you for being wonderful hosts!

Nice stay. Could’ve felt a little more cleaner. Kind of smelled like dog & had dog hair on
We had the best time here. Very close to stores, beaches and anything else you might need. The house was very clean and smelled amazing. Communication with host was very easy and fast responses. We had no issues. Thank you so much for hosting us, we look forward to hopefully coming back in the future!
Well overall it was a great experience and id rent the property again. The price wasnt to outrageous and the property was very delightful. The only hiccup was the hot water was out the first night but the property manager was on top of it and had it back on by the next round of showers..

We are bummed the water heater did that & appreciate your patience while we took care of that. Thanks for the feedback 😀 and we're happy you enjoyed your stay at the cottage.
We had a wonderful time visiting family on a group vacation. The location is quiet and close to stores and Houghton Lake. Really appreciated the air conditioning and how quite it was at night. Our owner responded quickly and was always nice. Only wish there were paper plates or Tupperware for the kitchen. Overall a good VRBO

Pictures are true to property. Generally the house was fine. Nice place to stay for a short visit. Some items to consider: Do not expect code anytime prior to the 4 o’clock check in or information prior. The check in/out book was not correct. There are no drinks in the fridge and the coffee supplies were so old the creamer was actually solidified. There wasn’t a hamper to put the bedding in or a blue basket for the towels.Only enough silverware for 4, expect to have to do dishes after each meal. Only one sad, small fry pan. The Wi-Fi was impossible to use, and while the code was given so many others have the same provider that you had to guess which one was the properties since username was not provided.
The prior renters were disrespectful and trasyed the place. Upon finding the disaster, the host notified us and put us up in other housing until she could get it clean. She even bought an air mattress for us. She definitely went out of her way!
