Nash Bash family weekend
Great “home base” property for our Houghton Lake adventures. The huge fridge was great for all the wonderful food my family brought, and nice big kitchen to prepare meals in. Loved the Adirondack chairs for sitting by the fire and the fenced in back yard was amazing for my pup! I would add a dust pan for the broom for daily clean up. We brought a lot of dirt in from the backyard and couldn’t find a dust pan. And maybe water access out back for dog water or grill cleanup.

Houghton Lake house
Was very clean, beds were comfortable. Dining table was very small we had 8 people including kids and table could only accommodate 4 comfortably. Also needs to have more furniture in the living room

Great getaway
The house was well appointed and made for a comfortable stay. We brought our dog so it was nice to have a fenced-in back yard. But, enjoying the back yard can be a bit loud as it is on the corner of a main road (E. Houghton Lake Dr.) While the property is located only a few blocks from the lake, the closest access is just a boat launch so be prepared to drive to a public beach if your goal is to enjoy the lake. One bonus was the short walk to Unchartered Grounds coffee and ice cream shop!
