Clean, safe, and close to everything. Was nice to be steps away from the water. We enjoyed watching the ducks, geese, fish and sunsets. First VRBO with nice pots, pans, knives, etc.

I can’t say enough about this property and the host, Kyle. The cottage is situated Lakeside directly facing the sunset across the lake and extremely close to anything you might need as far as retail or entertainment goes, although it is stocked with every amenity you might need. Obviously recently remodeled and in tiptop shape. Kyle bent over backwards to ensure our stay was great and accommodate every request. You will NOT be disappointed with this rental!!

This house was absolutely amazing! The pictures don't do it justice at all. The kitchen is fully stocked with any and everything you could possibly need. But so is the whole house! They also left us a couple of snacks for the weekend, and that was a very nice gesture. The lake view was perfect (would have liked less wind but can't help that). We did go in the lake as thr water was still a bit to chilly for us. We will definitely be saving this house as a must rent again. All in all a perfect girls weekend!

The lake house was great for a weekend getaway. Kyle was a great host and communicating with us to see if we had any questions or concerns. We liked the the fire pit overlooking the lake and the lake view was the best part of it. Would definitely recommend this house and consider staying here again in the future.

Great place on the lake

We had a wonderful time at this cottage. It was very clean and well stocked. The large dock was great for reading a book while the kids played in the water or watching the beautiful sunsets each night. Thank you to our hosts, it was just the vacation we needed to recharge.

Up North Getaway!

We had a great experience staying at this home! We loved being right on the water. The house is close to food, ice cream and multiples stores for easy convenience. Kyle is an amazing and attentive host. Anything we needed he was on it immediately. We saw beautiful sunsets and enjoyed the bonfire pit and indoor/outdoor speaker set up for music. We hope to stay at this little slice of paradise again!

Pleasant stay at cottage.

Beautiful refurbished cottage. Oak flooring was easy to clean and maintain. Perfect dwelling on the water for a family with children. Sandy shallow (0'-2') of water for several 100 feet from shore until deeper water.

Amazing Summer Getaway

From the get go, Kyle was incredibly attentive and detailed about our stay. His check-in instructions and property information were thorough and helpful. The house is stocked with the essentials, and is in a perfect location for picking up groceries. There are plenty of spots to find a comfy seat inside the spacious living room. The bedrooms were perfect for our family, and had nice touches like ceiling fans and updated outlets for charging devices. The spa bathroom was an unexpected plus! The outdoor space was also perfect for us, as we were able to walk out in the shallow water or chill on the lily pad. We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful view of Houghton Lake

This house is in a beautiful location on the east bay of Houghton Lake. We got to see an amazing sunset from the dock. The sliding glass doors provide gorgeous lake views from the dining area and living area. The host provided all kinds of extras such as popcorn, candy, shampoo, Keurig cups, and much more. Everyone in our group young and old enjoyed the outdoor fire pit, kayaks, floating pad. Hope to stay here again.

Ahhh-mazing!

This was the perfect spot for our family! We were looking for a place to relax, have fun, and hang out. After our first full day, my 14 year old son said, “This place is so comfortable. It feels like home.” Kyle and Suzanne have done a great job thinking of everything a group might need or want during their stay. We made so many incredible memories here!

Great Experience and hosts, tons of lake front

Nothing bad to say at all. We really enjoyed our stay (family of 4) and our girls had a great experience. Beautiful views of the lake and large piece of property (double lot?). Ok, the driveway is a bit tricky getting out of on a busy day but plenty of space to park multiple vehicles or a boat etc.

The cottage was well-stocked for outdoor fun! We enjoyed using the kayaks and paddle board in the water and had several great bonfires while listening to music using the outdoor speakers. We loved how far we could walk out in the shallow water and the soft, sandy bottom of the lake. The interior of the cottage was nicely updated while retaining the original charm of the wood paneling and wood floors. The kids loved the basketball hoop in the middle of the living room too.

Wonderful lakeside home

We had a wonderful time at this lake house. Owner was easy to communicate with and sent us an email a few days prior with a run down of everything we needed, including local highlights like restaurants and boat launches. The only draw back was the road noise at night, but with the windows closed and the air on it was quite. Beautiful sunsets while sitting around the firepit. House is fully stocked and gas grill was a bonus to dine at home. Would definitely visit again.

Absolutely Beautiful

My family and I wanted to do a nice vacation without leaving the state. What we found was a beautiful spot right on Houghton Lake. Kyle’s cottage was exactly what we needed!! The scenery is stunning. We sat out and watched the sunsets and sunrises. Also there was a family of ducks that were quite entertaining to watch as they were around each day. The cottage itself was very cute and just the size we needed. I loved the ability to open the back door walls and listen to the waves. Also a huge benefit was the outdoor speakers and fire pit which we used almost daily/nightly. The only downside was we had a couple of rainy stormy days but there many things to do in town or we just stayed in one day and played family games. Kyle was very accommodating and hospitable. We can’t say how much we appreciated that! Thank you Kyle!!
