Houghton Lake House w/Fire Pit - 2 Mi to Trails!

Reviews

• 4/5

  We had a wonderful week as a family staying in this home. The location was perfect being on the North end of Houghton Lake. Not as busy as South and it was perfect to dock there and relax as we rented a boat for the week. Although we thought there was a slight beach it was a slanted cement seawall. Since we had no children with us it was not an issue. The accommodations fit well with the amount of people we had with us(6). We did not need the bunk room but it would accomodate kids, not sure about adults as they were twin beds. Had an area with couchs but we did not use that. The screened in porch was nice on mornings you wanted to sit out with your coffee and store all your shoes and swim toys for the night. I usually do not enjoy writing negatives on rentals but there were a couple, although not severe. Just a little TLC needed to the place. Foremost, the kitchen was in desperate need of organization. Many open bags of flour, sugar, etc..that made me squeemish especially in view of bugs at a lake! The cupboards & pantry are in desperate need of "cleaning out". The coffee pot needed a cleaning! Couldn't find vinegar to do it. We couldn't find any Zemo filter replacements for the bugs that were an issue at dusk as they entered through the screened porch and infested the living area. Two of the beds could be an issue for someone if they do not like very hard mattresses. All in all was a great place to relax on a great lake.

• First annual family getaway

  5/5

  We had a lovely 5 night stay at Marianne’s Houghton Lake House. There were 8 adults and one 8 year old. This was the start of what I hope will be an annual family getaway tradition! The Lake House was perfect. The kitchen was well stocked with dishes, utensils, and all the pots and pans you would need. We cooked all but 1 of our meals at the house! The home was so comfortable and fit all of us perfectly! We were able to go in the lake the last 2 days and had a blast! Don’t hesitate if you are looking for a large home to accommodate your group, you won’t be disappointed!!

• Family vacay 2024

  5/5

  Our expectations were happily exceeded!! The house was absolutely perfect! Clean, well stocked kitchen and towels. Our family of 9 were so comfortable there, the kids room was awesome!! The large kitchen table was so nice, we played games and had great family dinners together. The backyard and the view were fabulous, peaceful and beautiful. The kids loved swimming off the dock, it was shallow and clean. Thank you for a week of making great memories!!
