Winter stay
Our family had a wonderful stay. We enjoyed ice fishing, building snow forts with the kids and snowmobiling. The house was extremely clean, fully stocked with toiletries and kitchen amenities. There was even coffee and filters provided. Plenty of room for our family. We were very impressed with the communication when we needed to contact the management company. I highly recommend this house and our family even talked about coming back in the summer to enjoy the lake. family of

Celebrating Dad
My spouse, myself, siblings, grandchildren as well as my mom came to Houghton Lake to remember and celebrate my dad's life. He loved Houghton Lake and the area since he was a child. The house worked out perfectly for us! It was very clean and roomy. Everyone had privacy when wanted and places to come together when wanted.

Houghton lake
The house was very nice. The only real issue we had was the a/c. The upstairs was uncomfortable unless we turned the air lower downstairs. But then it would automatically go up to 75 degrees which made it pretty warm upstairs especially in the middle bedroom that has no vents. The beds were very comfortable and we had a great time

Just what we needed
Great house with plenty of beds and space. We had 5 kids (6-13 y.o) and the paddleboard and kayaks were the biggest hits. Nice house and an easy way to spend a simple weekend.

Wonderful property
We could not have been happier with our stay! The property was beautiful, and fit our large family so nicely. The garage/game room was a huge hit, and provided entertainment every day, but especially when weather was less than perfect. The host was fantastic and answered all of my questions in a very timely manner. Overall, we had a fantastic time, and will definitely be back!
