Experience the perfect getaway in this beautifully clean and spacious home, boasting stunning lake views and ideal accommodations for families and groups of all sizes. With a welcoming atmosphere and a responsive host, guests consistently enjoy their stay and look forward to returning for future visits.

Sean's home was the perfect location for an intimate gathering to celebrate our vow renewals. He was so helpful and accommodating, and we were all so impressed with the space. The location is breathtaking and the views from inside the home and the balcony/yard are stunning!

Excellent lake house and location! Very responsive and helpful host.  Would definitely stay here again!

Such a great spot! The house has everything you can ask for, especially when traveling with multiple families of different age ranges.  There was a ton of room for us to hang out all together, as well as places for people to gather and hang in smaller groups.  The amenities at the house make it easy to feel right at home and the stocked kitchen made it easy to cook even when not in your own kitchen. Peaceful on the lake and still close to many activities, even in the off season! Pictures of the house more than live up to expectations!

It’s a very nice house aside of Houghton lake, beautiful landscape and peaceful surroundings, very good for weekend getaways. Strong recommend for group people over 10.
