SxS weekend in the snow
Preplanned trip before snow prediction. 2 couples have cottages in neighborhood but both were winterized so we decided to rent a house nearby. Rough travel going up but house was delightful. Clean and comfortable. Communication with owner was good. Easy entry. Would recommend. Plan on renting again.

An extra place for our visiting family
We rented this house for our daughter, son-in-law and our 2-year-old grandson who joined us for a weekend. We own a condo in Houghton Lake, so it was convenient to be nearby to provide towels, food, etc. Thrre was very limited communication with the owner. We enjoyed an evening bonfire (the owners supplied a bundle of firewood.)

Cute spot
Carpet was very stained and the cottage had a musty smell. Grateful that we had cool nights that we could open windows. However, it’s in a great location and has access to an empty adjacent lot with a fire pit .

Nice place
It's a good location and the house is decent. It is extremely "musty" smelling, but you get used to that quickly. Just so you are aware there is no A.C.. Gets very hot during the day, but cools off at night. (keep it closed up on a hot day and there are plenty of fans, then open it up in evening) Would have been nice if they had a vacuum or a manual push sweeper or even a broom and dustpan, but there wasn't. If you happen to track dirt in or spill something on the floor you're out of luck. We went and bought a broom and dustpan for $7 at the dollar store that's about 100 yards away. One of the deciding factors on renting this was a boat dock we could use. But, we were unable to use it as it is in very shallow water. About 1.5 feet at the deep end. And would be hard to tie off as the posts don't go higher than the dock, so you would have to reach under the dock to wrap around a post. If you have a pontoon or a small boat with a small motor you would probably be ok. There are about 15 docks in the same area and they are all pontoon boats. Almost all the other docks are much longer than this one. All in all it's a nice location. Not that far from lake and still close to stores and such. Nice large yard and fire pit. Note: You have to answer all the above questions. I only put one star about the property manager to pass the question. We did not have any contact with them. We were only staying 3 nights.

Really nice shower with glass doors. Kitchen is has lot of counter space. The family room has a double bed, half bath and it's own outside entrance which made a great private bedroom suite. Even had room to do some yoga! Had brand new entrance and storm doors indicate continuing upgrades and maintenance

This was the dirtiest house I’ve ever rented. My feet were black from walking on the floor. It’s also next door to a very creepy abandoned house!!! I would not recommend this house unless you want to be in a horror movie! I was very disappointed.
