Wonderful weekend away!

My husband and I booked a long weekend to visit family and this place couldn't have been better! It was clean, warm, welcoming and everything we wanted in a home away from home. Our host was wonderful and they had any/all little extras you could possibly need!

The best stay!

They were awesome! The home was just so lovely, clean, stocked with snacks and treats. They were so considerate with what we could possibly need, gave us a gift card and left treats for our animals. Truly a wonderful experience for our family.

Houghton cabin

I stayed at this cozy clean cabin over Labor Day weekend with my family. The cabin was close to the boat launch. There were breathtaking views of the sunsets and clear skies for viewing the stars at night. The host went above and beyond supplying snacks and coffee firewood and much more!We didn’t lack anything on this trip.

Perfect Getaway

We stayed for a last minute long weekend. Everything was perfect and clean. The host left us a great welcome package and left many thoughtful goodies. It was during TipUp so it was great overlooking tge lake and watching the snowmobiles. We will definitely be back.

Exceptional host

Our “usual” Vrbo in the area was booked and we luckily found this listing. Communication with host was awesome. Property was definitely a home away from home. Cozy, quaint, clean and a great location. Very friendly and quiet neighborhood. Host was extremely accommodating. We will surely book this property again!

Home away from home

Great place to stay, host made us feel at home! We loved the extras that was provided from the variety coffee to the snacks and of course the games. The view you get at Sunset is breath taking, you won’t want to miss it! The home is warm & welcoming from the time you walk in, close to town if you need something! The beds are super comfy! We will definitely be back to this little place. The neighbors are very kind as well. Great place and great hosts, they went above and beyond to make sure you felt welcome!

Great place to watch the sunset !!!

It was great that they left a gift card for a pizza, and the snacks for us and our dog. The neighbors were great and it was quiet and peaceful there. The only things we were not impressed with were no lights worked in the kitchen area, except the stove light. It was a bummer that there was no screen on the doorwall or the one bedroom window, so we really could not get a good cross breeze in there. I also never received a phone number to call the owners and got use to always getting a number when we have booked through here. I had sent a message asking if we could check in earlier and never received a response. I have always been able to do that with the rentals, just not this one.

We have been renting vacation homes for decades (literally) and this one was one of the best we have stayed in! The host is fabulous, even left a hand written note and gift certificate for a local pizza place. There is coffee, snacks and everything you need for your stay. This is the first time we didn't have to bring ANYTHING or run out to the store for something we needed that wasn't provided. The house was clean (and adorable!) and the beds were so comfortable. I planned on bringing my dog with me but ultimately didn't, but the yard is fenced and perfect for a furkid. I absolutely will be staying there again and will plan on bringing her next time. I have friends that live in the area and the location is perfect to have my own space while visiting. Thank you again for a great weekend stay!

Upon arrival the location was noted as better then described. With 2 different view points of Houghton lake, the property was great! We did have a small dog with us for our trip who loved the fenced in backyard and small gestures to accommodate us. The house was very inviting, comfortable, clean, well decorated and stocked in every way a guest could need from kitchen to bathroom....you could literally pack clothes and show up here and you'd be just fine. The communication was great and the owner was very proactive before arrival and on arrival. My family would stay here again and highly this cabin!
