Serene Lakefront

Houghton Lake is a gorgeous lake that we thoroughly enjoyed staying on. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the outdoor space was beautiful.

Grest lake house @

Perfect spot to relax and enjoy family and friends. Cute friendly restaurant within a walking distance. Lovely farmers market around the corner. Beautiful lakefront views.

The host was kind and helpful. The house met our needs. Overall, we enjoyed our time at the lakehouse. The only negative is that I personally didn't think that it was worth the money. It's a nicely refurbished older home in a town that is not great. Also the listing states that there is a hot tub, not true, there is a bathtub with jets.

Lovely house with a great view

Clean & comfortable house. Well equipped. Great view and location. We were unfortunate with cool and rainy weather during our stay so we didn’t get to take advantage of the outdoors much, but with better weather there’d have been a lot to do.

Nice Home for a Family Get Away

Nicely updated cottage on the South East side of Houghton Lake. Convenient to shopping on M 55 and there is a nice fruit and vegetable market just across the street. Well stocked kitchen. Nice living room with gas fireplace. Lake is right off the deck so nice to sit on swing and listen to the waves hit the sea wall. We had a few problems but property manager was responsive in getting back with us. Bedrooms were good size. Bathrooms were nice.

Houghton Lake Vacation

The whole family had a wonderful week at the Behl House. The house is right on the lake and the shallow, sandy bottom seemed to go out forever. Grear for the kids. Brandi was a wonderful host. Communication was great. I'll certainly recommend the Behl House to my family and friends

Perfect!!!

I booked this fantastic home for a family vacation. We had the best time!!! The house is furnished with everything you could need from the kitchen to toys and games the kids could play with. The beds were super comfortable. It is a nice sandy bottom for swimming/ would recommend swim shoes though little easier on the feet. The grandsons loved the paddle board and playing on the beach. We rented a pontoon and went fishing everyday. We had awesome weather. We have already booked our weeks for next year. Great stay, great place can't wait to go back.

Family Funeral

I couldn't have asked for a better hostess. Being the purpose was a funeral, time was short to make plans and arrangements. Brandi accommodated three families who do not get the opportunity to be together very often. She allowed us to have a dog on site and an extra person. She also allowed an early arrival time due to flights and distances traveled. We had everything we needed to get through the three days. Thank you.

Beautiful View

The view was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. We found a broken kayak paddle when we went to use them. Brandi said she would order a new one. However, the main reason we chose this house was the use of kayaks, so we were disappointed to only have one working paddle with the two kayaks. Some of the beds were uncomfortable. The house was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The outside area was nice for hanging out and relaxing. Brandi responded quickly to questions.
