We checked in on Sept 25th and the cabin was listed with air conditioning. There was none, because they had removed it for the winter. But the host Doug was wonderful about coming right out and put it back in for us. The washing machine had something wrong with it and took all day to run one load. We let Doug know about it. Overall, it was just what we needed for the 3 days. It was very clean and much better than a local hotel. Doug was very accommodating.

I was happy with the house, and used the barbecue also we had a good time with the fire pit. I think the main bedroom mattress should be replaced too soft and worn but overall it was a very clean and cozy house!

This was a really nice unit. Not on the water, but within a few minutes drive time to Houghton Lake, and 20 minutes to Higgins Lake. Lots of beautiful trails, boat launches, and public parks. Located on a quiet street, close to stores and restaurants. Would stay here again. The host was more than accommodating, and made sure every need was met. The house is well equipped, even down to a crate for your dog. The washing machine and dryer were an added bonus!
