Beautiful Home on Houghton Lake
We had a wonderful family vacation on Houghton Lake. The house was very well equipped with everything you would need plus some extras. There were lots of games and puzzles to play since our entire trip was chilly and rainy. The big windows overlooking the lake were beautiful. I’d recommend for your next family gathering!

Great House
We stayed in this house the last week of May and first part of June, 2024. It was perfect for what we wanted this trip. It was one of the lowest prices I saw for lakefront property. We took day trips to Mackinac Island, Boyne, Traverse City and Petoskey, and had breakfast and a light dinner each day at the house. The house is large and well maintained. My contact person Brook was quick to answer my questions.My daughter is a college athlete and needed a gym to workout a few days. Redeemed was a great gym, and was extremely helpful for out of town vacationers.

Family Getaway
Our group loved the 5 large bedrooms and roomy open plan living space on the main floor. The kitchen was well equipped. The lake was beautiful. The dock and lift worked well for our pontoon boat. The kids loved the shallow sandy bottomed swimming right behind the house. The neighborhood was great: well kept, friendly, and not crowded. The exterior deck area was roomy. However, we needed to sweep the exterior walls, ceiling, and deck as well as wipe down the furniture before using it. The spider webs and bugs were thick. A good power washing and spray for spiders would greatly improve this area.
