This place is exactly as it seems. Very well maintained, provided everything you need and more! Excellent communication from the owner and extremely friendly!! They even provided us with a high chair for our baby. Cannot stress enough how easy it was for us to get checked in and out. 10/10 experience and will return again!

We had a wonderful week as a family staying in this home. The location was perfect being on the North end of Houghton Lake. Not as busy as South and it was perfect to dock there and relax as we rented a boat for the week. Although we thought there was a slight beach it was a slanted cement seawall. Since we had no children with us it was not an issue. The accommodations fit well with the amount of people we had with us(6). We did not need the bunk room but it would accomodate kids, not sure about adults as they were twin beds. Had an area with couchs but we did not use that. The screened in porch was nice on mornings you wanted to sit out with your coffee and store all your shoes and swim toys for the night. I usually do not enjoy writing negatives on rentals but there were a couple, although not severe. Just a little TLC needed to the place. Foremost, the kitchen was in desperate need of organization. Many open bags of flour, sugar, etc..that made me squeemish especially in view of bugs at a lake! The cupboards & pantry are in desperate need of "cleaning out". The coffee pot needed a cleaning! Couldn't find vinegar to do it. We couldn't find any Zemo filter replacements for the bugs that were an issue at dusk as they entered through the screened porch and infested the living area. Two of the beds could be an issue for someone if they do not like very hard mattresses. All in all was a great place to relax on a great lake.

We had a lovely 5 night stay at Marianne’s Houghton Lake House. There were 8 adults and one 8 year old. This was the start of what I hope will be an annual family getaway tradition! The Lake House was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, and all the pots and pans you would need. We cooked all but 1 of our meals at the house! The home was so comfortable and fit all of us perfectly! We were able to go in the lake the last 2 days and had a blast! Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a large home to accommodate your group, you won’t be disappointed!!

Let me start off by saying I had a great girls trip with my friend but we were sadly disappointed with things about the house. First I’m from Texas and what attracted me to this house was the fireplace (I do not like to be cold) I thought it would be great to get cozy in front of the fireplace. In the description of the home it only states that there’s a fireplace not that it was gas or wood burning, so we brought firewood for it only to find out it’s a gas fireplace and that the gas isn’t on till December. Great disappointment! No pride was taken in the cleaning of the home, dust everywhere, small bugs in the corners of the kitchen, the kitchen floor was sticky, the dining table had leftover crumbs and something sticky on it and hair in the master shower. The check in process was easy but when she texts you the check in process she doesn’t mention that there is further instructions on the fridge for checking in. One of the big items on the list that you find on the fridge is that you have to turn on the hot water heater, I thought it had the same instructions that she texted me so I didn’t think I needed to read it. Also wasn’t thrilled with the long list of must do’s upon checking out on top of an early check out time (don’t worry though if your not out at exactly 10 because you are trying to do said list you will receive a text reminding you of the check out time). On a positive note the location is great, the kitchen is well stocked although no organization to it, communication with property manager was good, very responsive.
