Recent Houghton Lake guest reviews

We loved it here! When we arrived we found fresh flowers and Valentine's candy, which was completely unexpected and just made the trip feel extra special. Aly and Georgia were very friendly and easy to communicate with. The place was spotless and the beds were comfortable. We really enjoyed relaxing on the couch and looking out at the beautiful frozen lake. It's located close to the X-country ski headquarters which was a big plus for us. We would definitely return.

We had the most relaxing week here playing cards, fishing off the dock, and going on our boat to the sandbar daily. The house had everything we needed and then some! The beds were all super comfortable and the rooms were spacious. The host was very welcoming and responsive and even touched base with us on check-in day to make sure we had everything we needed. Thank you for a wonderful end of summer vacation!

Our family enjoyed our stay on Houghton Lake. The house was perfect for our group of 7. There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the beds were so comfortable. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed and more. I appreciated that the basics- dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, trash bags, etc were supplied - such a nice bonus. We loved kayaking and paddle-boarding through the channel out to the lake. There’s another great channel just to the right that we spent hours paddling. We loved walking down the street to the dock and watching sunsets. We ate at Spikehorn - great food and very reasonably priced. The house is on a channel that wasn’t great for floating or swimming, but we had fun fishing. We rented a pontoon from Suncatchers - they bring the boat right to the house! We had fun out on the water, at the sandbars and going for sunset rides. There’s no grill, but we cooked over the fire a couple times. Lots of outdoor seats. There’s a coffee shop and ice cream stop about 3 minutes down the road that we enjoyed. We also loved Limberlost restaurant. There’s a park very close with pickleball courts and that was fun. Overall it was a great trip and would definitely recommend this house for a stay on Houghton Lake.
