This property was great.Everything was spot on from the description. Plenty of room to stretch out even with 8 of us there. Don't be off-put that it's a small cabin...the way it's been renovated and opened up inside, it was wonderful. It had everything we needed to make an enjoyable stay.It made our "girls weekend"Who could ask for anything more....a room full of windows overlooking Houghton Lake.I would highly recommend!

Pure Michigan

We were very happy with the whole venue. Sunsets were amazing and the firepit made evenings memorable. Just wish they allowed pets -- my dogs and I are looking for a month long rental for next summer.

This cottage was perfect for a family for a week on the lake. The cottage was the best rental I've been to, with plenty of supplies. No need to bring extra paper products, dishwasher detergent, etc. There were even coffee pods for the Keurig, Thank you for a great week.
