Awesome stay at Houghton Lake
We loved our stay at the Blue Anchor. The room was clean, well equipped, not fancy but definitely a nice room for the price and a great value. The bed was extremely comfortable, the towels, nice and cushy. We had a great night sleep. We’ll be back.

The Blue Anchor was very clean, quiet, accommodating, and just what we needed for our visit to Houghton Lake. Instructions for accessing room upon arrival, etc. were simple. The entire experience ran smoothly. Would stay there again.

Great spot to stay in Houghton Lake! Quick responses from management if there are any issues and they are super friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!
Chris, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

When we first arrived we were a little confused, there's no sign for the property. This was our first experience with no staff around, just go to your room & put your code in. That easy. Bathroom is a little small & definitely needs a vent in it! Bed was comfy! Overall great little place!

The floors were so slanted and uneven.
Kimberly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The accommodations were exceptionally clean and tastefully renovated. The bedding was not to our preference, we are not a fan of memory foam.
Christine, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The rooms were very nice......the bathrooms a little small but workable. You can tell that it was an older property but all nicely remodeled. Very clean and well kept. I liked the proximity to everything. I would definitely stay here again. I really liked the no check in procedure they just texted me a code and we were done.

4/10 Fair

The lack of seeing any employees at any time of our stay was very unusual. We needed toilet paper and had no way to have any supplied for us. It’s rather uncomfortable.
Mark, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

Great towels, actual decent toiletries and very clean rooms. Queen beds were way to stiff and the showers are a bit out of date but other then that it was a great stay and amazing service!
Megean, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Perfect place for a getaway!
Very cute place and would stay again! Everything looks and smells new. Beds were comfortable. Loved the walkway to the rooms. Good location across the street from the water and next door is a gas station with all the things you may need. Would stay again!
Connie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

My family and I enjoyed our overnight stay at The Blue Anchor at Houghton Lake. We weren’t familiar with this hotel prior to the renovations that were done but we were pleased with the nice updates. Our room was very clean. The mattress was extremely comfortable. We had booked through Expedia and the check-in process was easy. We had trouble closing the bathroom door and contacted management, they were quick to respond and accommodating.
