We had a wonderful time at this Lake House. The property is perfect for all ages. There are LOTS of toys for children and adults. The lake is sandy & shallow a long way out. Beds were comfortable, good plumbing & plenty of room! We had a pontoon boat, the lake is beautiful & huge but warning, it is quite shallow which can be a challenge. The owner was very prompt in responding to all of my questions. All in all my entire family had a wonderful time! I highly recommend this property!

Some air fans didn't work — contacted host — next day 3 new fans from Walmart arrived. Even with fans — at sunset — cottage was in the 80’s inside. Didn’t know Swing Set was Public Property

Perfect Getaway

Our family booked this adorable cottage last minute, as our original plans with extended family were canceled due to valid concerns of travel during this Covid-19 situation. We checked in on a Monday and checked out on Friday. A quick trip, but just enough time. Nate was very accessible for any questions or concerns. Upon arrival, all was exactly as described. Very clean, neat and uncluttered. Beds were comfortable, plenty electrical outlets and fans (no AC here, but not a problem w/ breeze coming off Houghton Lake & tons of windows in the cottage.) Hooks, towels & basic supplies in bedrooms & bathrooms added to this user friendly rental. Internet was up to date and speedy. Parking was available for at least 5 or 6 vehicles. Quiet street, although not far off of busy road with a bit of traffic noise at times. Outside shed had extra chairs, firewood, rafts, etc. Plenty of chaise lounges for relaxing on beach. We used the boat lift with no issues. Sandy lake floor and knee deep clear water at least 300 ft out! Perfect location for watching sunsets, which were AMAZING each evening. A bonus for us: dogs allowed! Our 2 German Shepherds loved every second of their 1st lake adventure together. We will definitely plan on booking here again! Thanks Nate for sharing your property with us :)

Nice house on the lake

The location of the house on the lake was nice. The only areas of opportunity we dealt with were that the fridge was dirty, and the coffee maker had old grounds in it from a previous guest. It would’ve been nice to have a broom to help keep the place tidy while we were there.

Nice but chilly

First and foremost, Nate was a very accommodating property owner. He respons to emails quickly and answers any questions you may have. This cabin seems like it would be a great place to stay in the summer and fall, but we stayed in February and had trouble keeping the place warm. That is my only complaint.

Enjoyed our stay

The space and layout were exactly as expected from the pictures, and we had a very good time. Only the weather kept it from being perfect. We enjoyed hanging on the small beach and in the water on the two nice days. The back sun room with views of the lake was a great place to hang on the bad weather days. Also enjoyed our late evenings around the fire.
