Everything was great, communication was excellent and Russell was great working with me on check in time and allowing us to keep fishing on the ice after our check out time. Would definitely recommend this property to friends that love fishing and I will book again! Thanks

Great sleeper

Lots of bed space and very comfortable mattresses. This is a family lake cottage that they open up to renters. Houghton Lake is a great water activity lake. This was the best place we found on VRBO to have the 4 adults in our family stay in and attend a family reunion nearby.

Great location

8 adults stayed, there were 6 beds plus couch and we brought a blow up mattress. Lake was to rough to fish, but golf was excellent at Pineview course. Good location and nice place. Russell great to deal with. Thanks.

Golf team 2 night stay

It was well appointed with dishes and other kitchen essentials. They even had spices from previous guests which helps. The only thing I would suggest is that they invest in some cheap frying pans and sheet pans and throw the other ones out. It was hard to cook in them and even harder to clean them.
