Houghton Lake Fishing Trip

The cabin was very nice and exactly as described. Location couldn’t have been better we were close to restaurants and groceries and even though the weather kept us off Houghton Lake there were other lakes close by that we were able to fish. Would highly recommend both this cabin and the area itself.

not so cool getaway

left florida for the cool north, only to endure a heat wave in michigan.. not the hosts fault. the cabin was better than most, but the description of the section of mud by the lake as a beach, not good.and, the elevated walkway is wobbly, terrible, felt like it is unsafe.
