- "Stayed here for a family Christmas party for one night. Water park for the kids was wonderful. We requested that all 4 rooms be close together (all separate reservations, too) and that was accommodated by the professional hotel staff. Location directly on Houghton Lake was beautiful, even in the winter. Hotel was clean and nicely decorated for Christmas. Bathroom linens were plush and abundant. The king bed was firm and had high quality linens on it. Breakfast hours and selection could be improved with offering some kind of protein such as eggs and sausages. The carb-laden breakfast was not healthy and the hours of 6 to 9:30 am was too early for us. We had a great time overall and would definitely come back here."

- "The rooms were far from the water, not like to picture. The living space was nice but the beds were very uncomfortable, we didn't even stay our second booked night. The room was very cold and drafty, and the thermostat was programed to 68 degrees and we very cold, it did not warm well. It didn't even come with towels! We had to go and buy our own. We wanted to rent snowmobiles and was told it was too warm, it was 35 degrees outside! When we asked around they said that it was not true, plus we saw many other people riding snowmobiles.

- "The place had everything we needed! It was quaint and cozy and was right by the water. It only took about 20 minutes to drive up to Houghton Lake State Park. Tons of nearby shops and stores. Perfect place to come back to and unwind after a day in the sun. The hosts were super communicative and kind! Will definitely be back!" - "We had some troubles getting up here cus we were about a 3 hour drive, the owners were very kind and understanding, even going as far to say we could stay an extra day for free because our water pump broke on the car and we couldn't get it apart! We ended up getting it figured out and leaving when we were supposed too, but the whole stay was very nice, cold but nice! I would suggest bringing some extra blankets and thick Hoodies if you come in the winter months! With it being so close to the water it gets FREEZING!! But they provide space heaters in every room and one main heating unit in the dining room/ kitchen area! All in all 10/10! Me and my husband will definitely be coming back! (After we get a new car 😅)"
