12/10 – Perfect Family Getaway!We had the most amazing stay at the Little’s Lake House on Houghton Lake! The cottage was clean, cozy, and felt like home the moment we walked in. The kitchen was fully stocked—even an air fryer!—and there were tons of toys, games, and cozy blankets to keep everyone happy and entertained.The boat rental process was super easy. Cruising to the sand bars was a blast, and we enjoyed a delicious dinner at the Shrimp Shack nearby.The best part? We made lifelong memories with four generations under one roof. This place truly has something for everyone. We couldn’t recommend it more—book it now if it’s available! 12/10!Thanks for everything, Cindy!

North Houghton Lake
Really enjoyed our stay. Though an old cabin, it was purchased in the last two years by the current owners with tons of very comfortable updates. Beds were very comfortable, nice dock, 300 yards of gradual sandy slope in the water. We had a good time.
Wish we knew how/where to fish this massive lake better but that would be the only disappointment. Very comfrtable, quiet, relaxing vacation.

Amazing place!
My family and I all thoroughly enjoyed this vacation. Cindy was very accommodating and great to rent from. Rented a boat and jet ski one day and there was plenty of room on the dock for them! Shallow area to swim and breathtaking views! My 3 yr old son loved the hammock and running up and down the dock. House was very clean and bunk house was an added bonus…it was like brand new in there. All redone. Thanks again Cindy! Maybe next time we can rent your pontoon! 😉 lol
