We're a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 young children) and just returned from a 5 night stay at this cottage and had a wonderful time. The cottage is located in a beautiful neighborhood at the start of Long Point (east side of the Lake), a quiet and relaxing location away from the business and traffic of the south end of Houghton Lake. The cottage is a bit on the smaller side and has a small cozy rustic feel, but was very clean and definitely well stocked with everything you needed for cooking meals to eat in. The owner was also terrific to work with, very easy to get a hold of and responded to texts almost immediately. He seemed to be very attentative to not delaying his guests. Reached out to him also on a couple of occassions to let him know about small things I might have misplaced or damaged, and he seemed very easy going about it and told me not worry. Overall Luke was a terrific owner and one of the better ones I've ever rented from. The best part of this cottage though is the location. It is a very friendly neighborhood. Met my neighbors Dave and Gaetan early on during our trip and they couldn't have been any nicer to me and my family during out stay. They made an effort to stop by and introduce themselves and asked if we needed any help with anything. They went out of their way and lent my son and I fishing poles and even a canoe later on when they saw my son strugglin to catch fish off the dock with his little kids pole. Gaetan even took us out one evening on his boat to give us another shot at fishing. Just wonderful neighbors overall which made our stay that much better. Finally, should mention the physical location of the cottage is also great in that it usually gets a good breeze coming off the lake and made even the week of mid 80's to low 90's weather seem very comfortable, especially towards the evening when the breeze picks up. The AC window units in the bedrooms worked well and were strong enough to make you cold at night if you wanted. We really enjoyed being right on the lake for beautiful sunrise and evening sunset views while enjoying a good breakfast or dinner. The dock has a ladder at the end as well, so you can easily climb in/out of the water to go swimiing. The water depth is very shallow and sandy for several yards out so swimining is easy and safe for the kids. Overall we really enjoyed our relaxing easy going week at this cottage and would recommend it for any small family looking for a lake getaway.
