July vacation
We had a wonderful time visiting family on a group vacation. The location is quiet and close to stores and Houghton Lake. Really appreciated the air conditioning and how quite it was at night. Our owner responded quickly and was always nice. Only wish there were paper plates or Tupperware for the kitchen. Overall a good VRBO

Quiet and convenient
The area was quiet during our stay and everything is a convenient short drive. The beds were a bit uncomfortable, but were fine for our short stay. We had an issue with the water at 5am. The property manager Melissa was quick to respond and was there within a few hours to bring buckets of water for the toilets and fix the problem. Things happen, so we understood. How they handled the situation was great and professional

Extra mile
The prior renters were disrespectful and trasyed the place. Upon finding the disaster, the host notified us and put us up in other housing until she could get it clean. She even bought an air mattress for us. She definitely went out of her way!

Incorrect Information
Check in was listed at 4, but it wasn't ready for us until 7:35. Beds are listed as queen and full beds, they are actually 2 full beds and 2 twin beds. The mattresses were uncomfortable. Probably won't return to this property.

Great weekend
Well overall it was a great experience and id rent the property again. The price wasnt to outrageous and the property was very delightful. The only hiccup was the hot water was out the first night but the property manager was on top of it and had it back on by the next round of showers..
