Houghton Lake is a gorgeous lake that we thoroughly enjoyed staying on. The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, and the outdoor space was beautiful.

Check in was easy based on thorough instructions we received in advance. The house had everything we needed and then some - oven, microwave, dishwasher, coffee maker, refrigerator with a spare fridge in the garage, dish ware and silverware. WiFi was high speed for work check ins and streaming services. Directions for driving to the home were clear and detailed. We enjoyed the lake for boating, fishing, kayaking, lily padding and wading and swimming! The house had great beds and good space for cooking, relaxing and being together. Very comfortable and well furnished with spectacular sunsets!

Nice Home for a Family Get Away

Nicely updated cottage on the South East side of Houghton Lake. Convenient to shopping on M 55 and there is a nice fruit and vegetable market just across the street. Well stocked kitchen. Nice living room with gas fireplace. Lake is right off the deck so nice to sit on swing and listen to the waves hit the sea wall. We had a few problems but property manager was responsive in getting back with us. Bedrooms were good size. Bathrooms were nice.

Our family of three and another friends family of four stayed together. This house was situated right on the lake with a lower and upper deck. They had kayaks, a stand up paddle board, a Lilly pad mat for floating, and kids beach toys. There was a fire pit and grill. A walking distance restaurant/bar for those that want to get out of the house. The kitchen had pretty much everything we needed. The AC worked well. Would go back.

To close to a busy road and the water was way to shallow for us. The bedrooms were very nice

We had a great time and enjoyed walking trails and visiting the area park for tennis and gaga ball.

Lovely house with a great view

Clean & comfortable house. Well equipped. Great view and location. We were unfortunate with cool and rainy weather during our stay so we didn’t get to take advantage of the outdoors much, but with better weather there’d have been a lot to do.

Houghton Lake Vacation

The whole family had a wonderful week at the Behl House. The house is right on the lake and the shallow, sandy bottom seemed to go out forever. Grear for the kids. Brandi was a wonderful host. Communication was great. I'll certainly recommend the Behl House to my family and friends
