The price wasnt to outrageous and the property was very delightful. The only hiccup was the hot water was out the first night but the property manager was on top of it and had it back on by the next round of showers.. ##### James J.

Upon finding the disaster, the host notified us and put us up in other housing until she could get it clean. She even bought an air mattress for us. She definitely went out of her way! ##### Kelli K.

The beds were a bit uncomfortable, but were fine for our short stay. We had an issue with the water at 5am. The property manager Melissa was quick to respond and was there within a few hours to bring buckets of water for the toilets and fix the problem. Things happen, so we understood. How they handled the situation was great and professional ##### Melanie B.

Beds are listed as queen and full beds, they are actually 2 full beds and 2 twin beds. The mattresses were uncomfortable. Probably won't return to this property. ##### Mary D. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 Verified ### 4/10 Poor #### Steven H. 1 Jun 2025 Disliked: Cleanliness, communication, location #### Below average in Houghton Lake The bedroom had garbage left on the floor & dresser. Hallway floor is so warped one guest fell into the wall walking to the bathroom. Vacuum cleaner was left out in living room. Dog toys laying in hallway. Wi fi signal was poor. No access to network television stations (streaming only). Owner took over 3 hours to respond to text message with simple question about operating the TV. The neighborhood is very run down. Lake view several houses away at end of street, but no lake access. Positives: newer laminate floors were nice. Bathroom was updated but doesn’t have an exhaust fan. Walls were painted a nice blue color. ##### Steven H. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Wendy J. 19 Oct 2025 ##### Wendy J.
