"I have stayed at the Rivertown Inn several times and it is always clean. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Parking is convenient. The rooms are dark and simple but have everything you need. I found the best rate booking through Expedia."
"Had a wonderful stay! The location was perfect for sightseeing, and the hotel staff made us feel at home. Rooms were clean, spacious, and had all the amenities we needed. I highly recommend it!”"
"We only stayed for one night, so we did not get a chance to experience all of the amenities. Unfortunately, we ran into several issues during our stay.
On Saturday evening around 6:00 PM, we went to the restaurant and were given menus. After a few minutes, we were ready to order, but when the waitress returned, she apologized and told us they were out of everything on the menu. The only option available was the buffet, which was $40 per person.
Our room was a decent size, but it had a very strong mildew smell. We turned on the streaming TV for our son, but the WiFi went out after about 30 minutes. Since we had no cell reception with either Verizon or AT&T, we were unable to call anyone to report the issue.
We also had a problem with the hot water. After letting it run for about 10 minutes, it went from ice cold to barely warm and never improved. As a result, our showers were quick and cold. We checked again early the next morning, and the water situation was the same.
That said, I do think this place has potential, and I may consider giving it another try in the future. The rates were reasonable, and the property seemed like it had a lot to offer. Maybe we just had bad luck during this stay."
"The property itself is nice-small footprint on the lake, but still very enjoyable. The downside was that it didn’t seem like anything had been prepared before our arrival. The yard leading to the beach hadn’t been mowed and looked untouched since winter. There were tools in the shed, so we spent the first couple of hours cleaning things up ourselves, which wasn’t how I planned to start the trip.When we first entered the house, there were dead bugs on the floor near the entrance, and the place had a musty, closed-up smell, as if it hadn’t been aired out in quite some time. Opening windows helped, but many of the vinyl blinds were already deteriorated (broken) from sun exposure. I took photos before touching anything so there wouldn’t be any confusion about damage. It would really help if the listing mentioned issues like that upfront—otherwise renters worry they’ll be charged for things that were already in poor condition.We also had to turn on the well ourselves to get water, which would’ve been good to know ahead of time.On the positive side, the house itself is nice and the bed was great. We did find a mouse dropping on the table, which wasn’t ideal, but we just adjusted how we stored our food. I also avoided using the Keurig because when I removed the water reservoir, there was green growth inside. I didn’t feel it was my responsibility to clean that, so I left it for the cleaning staff.Overall, this could be a great place with a bit more attention and upkeep."

6BR Houghton Lake House w/ Indoor Pool, Hot Tub, and Golf Simulator - Sleeps 24
10/10 Excellent
"We had a great stay overall! The property itself is beautiful, with gorgeous lake views and plenty of space for our group to spread out and relax. The pool was also a big highlight — really nice and a lot of fun for everyone. Hot tub was also nice with a beautiful pool. A couple things to note for future guests. The listing mentions 6 bedrooms, but the 6th “bedroom” is actually the game room with a twin trundle. It’s fine for kids, but not the most ideal setup for an adult, so just something to be aware of when planning.We also had an issue with the heat one night — it dropped to 62 degrees in the house, which made things pretty uncomfortable (and too cold to enjoy the pool). That said, the host was responsive and sent someone out the same day after we reached out.Overall, we had a really nice time and enjoyed the property — just a few things to keep in mind when booking! We would love to return. "
