Check in was super easy. Communication with host was great. Dave and his wife couldn’t have been nicer or more accommodating. The views were spectacular, esp the sunsets. We spent the week swimming and fishing. The fishing out front of the cabin and just west of the cabin was spectacular action. The best we’ve had in years. The cabin provided everything you need for a week stay. It’s a five star place for sure. We’ve already discussed as a finely staying there again next year. And now a few things that fell short of our expectations. The bathroom could have used a little better cleaning upon move in. There is no washer and dryer, but there’s a laundromat literally 3 minutes from the cabin. The sun porch on the side of the house was always too hot. It had the prettiest views of any of the rooms, but it was just too hot. The dining area was located in the sun room and was therefore unusable, making dining indoors awkward. To be fair, we did stay during the hottest week of the year. In cooler weather, we would have spent all of our time out there. And lastly, the water was so shallow, knee deep for hundreds of feet, that swimming was challenging unless you waded out a really long way. Those are all very nit picky things. Overall, you can’t find a rental property that is nicer or provides more than this place. Again, it’s a five star rating for sure. My family has been going to Houghton lake for decades and have stayed at a different place every year for the last 10 years at least. This is the first place in years that we all agree we should rent this place again. Thank you Dave for the wonderful time.
