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.

Summer Getaway
This was a planned family vacation and our first getaway with married kids and grandchildren. Great location on the water and property ambiance! The property had all the essentials and more--kitchen essentials, corn hole, kayaks, laundry, etc. Easy access to stores and a nice area to run or walk.

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

Family Funeral
I couldn't have asked for a better hostess. Being the purpose was a funeral, time was short to make plans and arrangements. Brandi accommodated three families who do not get the opportunity to be together very often. She allowed us to have a dog on site and an extra person. She also allowed an early arrival time due to flights and distances traveled. We had everything we needed to get through the three days. Thank you.

Beautiful View
The view was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. We found a broken kayak paddle when we went to use them. Brandi said she would order a new one. However, the main reason we chose this house was the use of kayaks, so we were disappointed to only have one working paddle with the two kayaks. Some of the beds were uncomfortable. The house was clean and had a well stocked kitchen. The outside area was nice for hanging out and relaxing. Brandi responded quickly to questions.

Perfect!!!
I booked this fantastic home for a family vacation. We had the best time!!! The house is furnished with everything you could need from the kitchen to toys and games the kids could play with. The beds were super comfortable. It is a nice sandy bottom for swimming/ would recommend swim shoes though little easier on the feet. The grandsons loved the paddle board and playing on the beach. We rented a pontoon and went fishing everyday. We had awesome weather. We have already booked our weeks for next year. Great stay, great place can't wait to go back.

Houghton Lake
For the price of this "Luxury Cottage" we were hoping for it to live up to its description. Within the first day of our arrival we had noted the place was not VERY CLEAN. Spider webs with bugs in the dining area, in the kitchen, sheets with stains, towels with large holes, items founds in drawers from previous guests, décor pieces containing trash, oh and don't look under the couches!! Only to add to the experience was poor swimming conditions that our kids were really looking forward to; thick debris and sludge worms in the water all week (no fault to homeowner). I will note that Brandi was quick and easy to communicate with regarding issues and questions. The location was great, close to shopping, restaurants, and attractions.
