Well overall it was a great experience and id rent the property again. The price wasnt to outrageous and the property was very delightful. The only hiccup was the hot water was out the first night but the property manager was on top of it and had it back on by the next round of showers..

July vacation

We had a wonderful time visiting family on a group vacation. The location is quiet and close to stores and Houghton Lake. Really appreciated the air conditioning and how quite it was at night. Our owner responded quickly and was always nice. Only wish there were paper plates or Tupperware for the kitchen. Overall a good VRBO

Quiet and convenient

The area was quiet during our stay and everything is a convenient short drive. The beds were a bit uncomfortable, but were fine for our short stay. We had an issue with the water at 5am. The property manager Melissa was quick to respond and was there within a few hours to bring buckets of water for the toilets and fix the problem. Things happen, so we understood. How they handled the situation was great and professional

Was ok

The house looked clean but when you walked around on the floor your socks and feet turned black and there was dust and everything everywhere. There was not enough toilet paper for eight people with the two night three days day. Also the coffee bar and drinks they said they offered for non-existent. The k-cup coffee that was offered on top of the cupboard, was expired. It says it slept eight however two queens and two twins does not sleep eight people. We had to have somebody sleep on the couch and a recliner. However, it was in a nice area and close to all amenities needed. The backyard was spacious and we enjoyed the fire pit.

Below average in Houghton Lake

The bedroom had garbage left on the floor & dresser. Hallway floor is so warped one guest fell into the wall walking to the bathroom. Vacuum cleaner was left out in living room. Dog toys laying in hallway. Wi fi signal was poor. No access to network television stations (streaming only). Owner took over 3 hours to respond to text message with simple question about operating the TV. The neighborhood is very run down. Lake view several houses away at end of street, but no lake access. Positives: newer laminate floors were nice. Bathroom was updated but doesn’t have an exhaust fan. Walls were painted a nice blue color.
