Everything was great. Beautiful property, cabin was clean, had all the cooking stuff we needed. Only thing I wish it had was central heat and air, but we were able to stay comfortable.

Clean and updated property. Beautiful lake front view! Host Raymond was amazing! He thinks of all the extra touches! Firewood, fire starter, smores, nightlights, grill ready to go with propane! Great little two seater paddle pontoon boat was fun. Well stocked ahed with two paddle boards, left jackets, yard games, chairs/side tables for fire pit, fishing poles, roasting sticks. Only thing I wish was that houghton lake was deeper than it is. The aquatic vegetation was quite plentiful and it was grown right to the top of the water even in the middle of the lake! This caused issues with our waverunners.

We're so glad you enjoyed the clean, updated space and that beautiful lake front view! It means a lot to hear the little extra touches like the firewood, s'mores kit, and ready-to-go grill made a difference, and that the paddle boards, boat, yard games, and fishing gear all got put to good use. The lake's natural vegetation is something beyond our control, but we appreciate you sharing your experience so future guests know what to expect. Thanks so much for staying with us and for the wonderful review!
