Relaxing easy to get to
I went up with my best friend to attend a wedding on a different lake in a nearby town. The location of this cottage made it easy for us to get to and from the wedding. While the cottage has lake access, it’s not any type of beach front but you can load kayaks easily. However the ease to find a public beach is easy enough. There is plenty of parking for more than one car. The neighborhood is quiet and restful. The cottage itself was very clean and put together and had everything we needed for our trip. The host have been kind and gracious. I’d us it again.

Ideal Location
Comfortable beds, a full kitchen, grill, bicycles, kayaks, ample parking, TVs in every room, laundry, and a full bathroom; all for an amazing price.We stayed three nights and cooked the majority of our meals at the cottage. Our family enjoyed the proximity to the local attractions and beaches. Everyone was comfortable and had a very relaxing vacation.

Very cute little place
Overall was a very nice little place. The bunk beds were adorable. I would however, recommend having more hand towels in the kitchen available to make dishwashing a little easier, but this is more a suggestion not a complaint.

The lake house was lovely! The owners communicated very well. The only thing I would have changed is stating in the ad for the listing that you cannot walk to and hang out at the water. That was the sole reason for booking this location. My kids love to fish and were looking forward to just walked 200 feet to the lake, but we weren’t able to do that. Otherwise, the price was great, awesome setup and quiet neighborhood.

Cozy Comfy R&R
It was very clean and cozy. The weather was still cold to catch any fish so we stayed in more than planned. Located in a convenient spot. Close to restaurants and party store. Just over an hour to Traverse city. Not too far for groceries. Only could stay 3 nights. Communication from owners A. My husband made a good choice for our short getaway. Close to the lake and a marina. I would go back here.

No access
The house was very cute and comfortable. The only down fall is access to the lake. Even though we were only 200 ft. from lake, the property at the end of the road was private, so we didn't have access to ittroad

Cabin near the water
This cottage suited our needs for my son and I, and we took our beach chairs to sit at the end of the road, by the water, for a number of hours. Very nicely decorated, and all the conveniences of home. Cute welcome treats were a nice touch.

Quaint lake cottage
My twin really enjoyed the kayaks & bikes. It was a sweet quaint cottage on Houghton Lake w/ a good location. We are from the south & have very nice high quality water. Saying that, I'm not used to the smell of the tap water, which I was not be able to drink. It was comparable to a sulphur or an egg smell. Not sure if the water softener wasn’t working or not. Over all that is the only concern I had. The owners are very nice & hospitable. Enjoy the cottage & our time spent there.

Perfect little cottage
My husband and I stayed for a week for our anniversary with our kids joining us for the last couple nights. The cottage was absolutely perfect for the week! The big garage with bikes and extra kayaks was a huge added bonus. The place was so cute and comfortable, and we were very close to the lake. We had a fantastic week and would definitely come back!
