We stayed here for a couple of days to just get away and was looking for something that was on the water, allowed pets and was peaceful. Which is exactly what we got. Cant wait to stay again!

Great location
The house was amazing. I loved that it was off a Canal. It was easy to tie our boat to. If I had a question the owner got back to me fast. We really enjoyed our time at this house.

yearly family fishing trip
The trip was a great trip with my four Kids, a Grandson and my brother. Staying on a canal was nice for mooring our boat, pontoon and relaxing, out of the weather. Unfortunately the slips were not clearly marked which made a daily problem with having space in our slips. Each night we would come in from fishing, there wouldn't be room in our numbered slips for our two boats

GREAT TIME AT A REALLY GREAT PLACE!
I really enjoyed my stay here! VERY clean and cute place with everything a person needs. I especially loved the fact that I just had to go out the kitchen door wall and walk about 10 ft. to go fishing in the canal!

Houghton Lake getaway
Well, for one thing we couldn’t get in due to door code being wrong, after that we each took a bedroom, with one sleeping on air mattress in garage and one sleeping on air mattress in living room, we’re big guys that need room. Exterior of house was filthy, needed power washed with a couple exterior lights needing repair, inside of house was clean, nice kitchen, we ate breakfast there and went to different restaurants for supper. The Keurig coffee pot leaked like a sieve. Everything else was operational, except for television. It was supposed to stream off your personal devices but that didn’t work, we had my 6 year old grandson, and it would have been nice for him to watch something, but the three computer technicians I took with me couldn’t get anything going there. So that was a dealbreaker for us. It was good enough to fish from for 6 days, but won’t go back there.

House was exactly as posted. Lots of the small things you might forget were on site. Lots of kitchen tools, dishes, pots, serving bowls at house to use. Great location!
