Such an adorable cabin inside and out. Very clean and stocked with everything you need. The kids enjoyed the upstairs loft. Beach down the street and close to other beaches as well. Many restaurants, cute stores and activities near by.

Cozy & Welcoming Cabin
The cabin was welcoming and clean the moment we stepped in. Enjoyed time outside on the back deck and Sullivan Beach. One of the mornings was a bit chilly but the small electric fireplace was great. Host was great with communication and wanting us to enjoy our time. We are planning to return. Kelly & Samantha

We Did Not Stay - Location Not Described Accurately
We did not stay. We left the cabin/property less than two hours after we arrived. We spent the majority of the time we were in the cabin calling and speaking to both the host (property owner) and a VRBO representative. We explained to both individuals that the property was not what we were expecting. The property listing stated that the cabin was "located just steps from beautiful Houghton Lake ", when actually the cabin was at least 0.2 miles from the lake. I explained to the host and VRBO that I recently had back surgery and was unable to walk any appreciable distance. The host/owner asked if supplying us a wagon to carry things to and from the beach would help. I told her thank you, but a wagon wouldn't change the fact that I would still be required to walk the distance to the lake. We could not resolve our issues with the owner or VRBO so we locked up the cabin and departed for home. We had informed both VRBO and the property owner that we were not going to stay, and that we would be leaving and driving the 2-1/2 hours to get back home. The VRBO property listing also states in three separate places that the cabin's location was on a lake and/or beach.

Family vacation
This was a great family vacation spot. Cottage was very clean and accommodating. We enjoyed a beautiful week filled with a pontoon rental, grilling out, dinners out, Lakeland Recreation center, putt putt, golf, Roscommon Zoo, board games and campfires. A lot of conveniences close by and ownership was very courteous.

Perfect little cabin!!
From when we took the 1st step in the cabin we feel in love. It is the perfect little cabin. Clean cozy, my idea of a perfect little up north cabin. The corner lot is nice and big for kids to run around and play. Backing in my boat in the nice large paved driveway was easy. Friendly neighbors and people all around. Everything you need is no more the 5mins away. Danielle is amazing to rent from. GEAT communication with questions answered quickly and anything you need to make your stay great! I highly recommend this cabin for your up north, lake getaway. Thanks you for opening your door! We will definitely book it again in the future. Sincerely, Paul, Chelsea, and Maddox

Great time in Houghton. House would have been better if upstairs beds could been used. Due to furnace being right next to the bed it was impossible to stay up there. Two of our guests had to sleep on the living room floor.
