10/10 Excellent
"Welcoming and comfortable lodgings! Great amenities! We could tell a lot of thought and care went into preparing a very inviting and useable space for guests…loads of thoughtful touches!"
Private Lakefront Cottage with 90' of sandy East Bay frontage on Houghton Lake
10/10 Excellent
"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!"
Knotty by Nature! Firepit and Parking! Less than a mile to trails and the lake!
10/10 Excellent
"Great location and property!"
Dragonfly cottage 1/2 mile to Higgins Lake & 6 miles to snow/orv trail systems
10/10 Excellent
"A great experience in every way."
Charming 2-bedroom cottage in welcoming Houghton Lake with Hot Tub, AC, WiFi
8/10 Good
"Rustic, with some nice updates. Kitchen was modern and spacious. The stairs for the loft sleeping spaces aren't great for older or tall people. Would rent again, as price, space, hot tub, and location to my parents small cottage were great."
Waterfront house with sandy beach near downtown
6/10 Okay
"The property itself is nice-small footprint on the lake, but still very enjoyable. The downside was that it didn’t seem like anything had been prepared before our arrival. The yard leading to the beach hadn’t been mowed and looked untouched since winter. There were tools in the shed, so we spent the first couple of hours cleaning things up ourselves, which wasn’t how I planned to start the trip.When we first entered the house, there were dead bugs on the floor near the entrance, and the place had a musty, closed-up smell, as if it hadn’t been aired out in quite some time. Opening windows helped, but many of the vinyl blinds were already deteriorated (broken) from sun exposure. I took photos before touching anything so there wouldn’t be any confusion about damage. It would really help if the listing mentioned issues like that upfront—otherwise renters worry they’ll be charged for things that were already in poor condition.We also had to turn on the well ourselves to get water, which would’ve been good to know ahead of time.On the positive side, the house itself is nice and the bed was great. We did find a mouse dropping on the table, which wasn’t ideal, but we just adjusted how we stored our food. I also avoided using the Keurig because when I removed the water reservoir, there was green growth inside. I didn’t feel it was my responsibility to clean that, so I left it for the cleaning staff.Overall, this could be a great place with a bit more attention and upkeep."
