Stayed there for just one night last July...it was the worst place I have ever stayed! It was like a bad movie. Dangerous wiring, TV cord across front door, dirty kitchen with utensils that looked like they came out of the trash.They rented out boats and at night there was NO ONE there in any capacity to help with anything....

Absolutely horrible. Broken picnic tables, serious fire code violations, bed on rocks, and dirty. Boats break down pontoon seats are outdoor chairs not fastened down Nobody to help when needed. The most horrible experience and the Owners don't care....bad attitude.

My family and I travelled the weekend of Labor Day with our two pets. We had a fabulous time. The cabin had everything you could need. It was clean and cozy! My family and I rented a pontoon and cruised the lake. We enjoyed every morning waking up, walking to water and sitting on edge of dock enjoying the calm... More

We had yet another great time in Houghton Lake and enjoyed our stay at American Oak Resort. It's nice to be able to stay at a place that is not only affordable but has everything you need. Family owned, they put a lot of their own time and money sponsoring TIP-UP-TOWN and grooming the snowmobile trails. Not many people understand... More

My wife and I stayed for three days in late Oct. 2011. Everything was ready when we arrived. Denise, the attendant was very helpfull and attentive. We stayed in cabin# 6. It was well maintained and very clean. We have already made plans to return for vacation and this will be our choice to stay.

We arrived on Wednesday the 18th for a fishing trip. The weather was awful, high winds making whitecaps on the lake. The dock was not in and they told us due to the inclimate weather, the late arrival of spring and the high water it could not have been put in. They had a short 50ft dock in at the... More

After we checked in and paid cash for our stay, we found out that there was no dock available for our 16' fishing boat. The attendent did her best to try to find someone to put the dock up, but to no avail. We did try to make the best of the situation by tying the boat up on the... More

We rented a cabin/atv package for the weekend. The weather was hit and miss, but the cabin was very nice. Pine interior, but very nicely maintained. We didn't have the upgraded cabin with flatscreens, but I took a peek in one when we left. They have a large flatscreen in the living room and I would guess at least a... More
