Lovely, lovely, lovely! Great location/neighborhood. House is very warm and inviting. Kerrie sets the bar for VRBO hosts. House is so well-appointed with everything you could possibly need and surprise extra touches like farm fresh eggs, specialty popcorn, and even a s’mores welcome basket! It’s definitely home away from home. Highly recommend and would positively stay again!

You never know if a house will live up to its listing, it's why I'm happy to inform you that this is an awesome place. The house is clean and very well organized. Its well stocked with everything you need and even some nice treats. My interactions with the owner were highly responsive and cordial. The location is very nice and quiet. A comfortable home and a plus that we could bring our pup. Looking forward to visting again.

Beautiful and quiet little cottage on the canal
My husband wanted a quiet little bonfire for his birthday. This was the perfect location and was exactly what he wanted. Cake, bonfire, on the canal and up north Michigan!

Property is very nice
Amenities are good, only one tv, couch in living room and beds could use some updating. Should explain property is on the canal and you have to go through a very tight bridge with a boat to get on the lake. That was pretty hard to navigate. Overall good. The beds for us were the deal breaker and the couch. So uncomfortable.
Kitchen is well stocked. Tons of plates and pans. We cooked everyday and used the grills. We got several emails about our dog being leashed prior to arrival that was a bit annoying as we had already confirmed we agreed to the rules. Our dog is an ADA dog and travels extensively with us. She is always leashed and well behaved. It was excellent to have her along but felt the constant reminders were a bit over the top.

Amazing Houghton Lake Canal Home
Everything was as beautiful as the pictures. We had an amazing time. The home was spacious and spotless. We had 7 people and it never felt tight. Beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything. Being on the canal is perfect and only a short boat ride to Houghton Lake. Being able to dock your boat right at the house’s dock is so convenient. We will be back.

Wonderful time!
Our second time coming, always so clean and comfy. We came at a different time this time and enjoyed fishing and golf cart strolling to look at deer all around the community. Also, had a campfire and ate s’mores that they provided along with many other items to make our stay very relaxing and enjoyable.
Great Host and great stay, every time.
We will be back again, 😊

great place to stay
All the girls said they had a very enjoyable time everything in the house was prefect for our needs the host was very helpful when I called her for a question, the only problem we had was with the small restroom one of the girls did fall when she went to get out of the restroom also two more of the girls almost fell getting out, i think we thought it was because we didn't expect it to be so far down, all of us are over forty so it did scare us maybe a bigger floor matt or a sign, I do not know, I do know we would stay again. Thankyou so much

Almost Perfect!!
Very clean!! 5 star
Nice, quiet community...right on the canal 5 star
Very close neighbors so privacy is limited but its a lake community so privacy shouldn't be expected. Dock was available (Awsome) Almost Perfect.....Master Bed was too soft, kept rolling to the middle and pillows were hard. We woke up sore all 3 days...still loved it.
