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.

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.

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

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.

Sunsets -Wow!
This is a wonderful air conditioned home on Houghton Lake, with a sandy bottom and a shallow depth for quite a ways. It is slightly off of M55 which can be noisy, but if you are out back enjoying the scenery and water, or inside with windows closed, you don't notice it. The swing and picnic table on the deck provide great front row seats to the spectacular sunsets we witnessed every night. The house itself was well stocked with kitchen items, small appliances (waffle maker!), cookware; etc...most everything you need. The house was very clean with comfortable bedding, and the kayaks and paddleboard were a plus. Brandi was very responsive to any questions we had, and the wine and bottle opener were a nice welcoming gift!!
