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.

My wife and I went up north to get away for a few days and went into American Oaks to reserve a cabin for Friday and Saturday nights, Traci stated that they only had one cabin left and the carpets were being steam cleaned on Friday and the cabin would not be available till saturday so we rented the cabin...

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

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

Spent the last weekend of Tip Up Town at this resort!!! They were very accommodating and a perfect place to stay. Cabins were spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and extremely helpful! The location of the resort is awesome- lake, trails, night life or shopping! I love the outdoors, this is definitely the place to stay weather you snowmobile,... More

We and my dad I a great time on the atvs. we saw a bunch of wildlife in the trails. the staff was very accommodating and helped us with all our needs. We are look forward to returning soon, I would recommend for someone trying to have a good time and not spend the whole bank!

Guess it depends what you're visit is for. I would recommend this place for an awesome four wheeling adventure for you and your partner. I would also say pay a little extra and rent the chalet, not the cabin. The chalets are very spacious and relatively clean. It was ideal for my husband and myself. The owner gave us a... More
