You even said the pipes were probably frozen and with it being cold that’s probably the case. I was told by the person last minute he wasn’t able to come. Tried finding someone else to come but wasn’t able to find anyone on short notice.

Bad water? Never knew of any of that and I didn’t know anything about the ants until the end of your stay. I could have had them out way sooner. Previous renter didn’t tell me about an ant problem and there wasn’t any ants when I was up there last in may. That’s the way the bathroom has always been. Nothing I can really do about that.

About the host

Hosted by Mike

Host profile image
I’m from Lansing Michigan. It’s about 2 hours south of the property. I like being a host to give others an opportunity to discover a new place and feel at home.

Why they chose this property

This was my family cabin growing up. Now that both my parents have passed, I can’t get up there as much so decided to rent it out.

What makes this property unique

Block from Houghton Lake and close to shopping, dining, movie theatre and golf. Off of M 55, where most everything is in Houghton Lake. About an hour from Traverse City and 2 hours from Macinac Bridge
