"My husband and I became members at this very nice location overlooking Houghton Lake. The place is always clean and well maintained. I feel blessed to belong because the people are warm and friendly, always welcoming. The wait staff is great. All the servers, bar and kitchen, are wonderful kind people. Prices are very reasonable. The chef is quite good. We enjoy attending taco Tuesday, and Friday night fish dinners. Monday night chicken dinners have also been quite tasty. In addition, special events offer entertainment, good food, and lots of fun. I look forward to becoming more involved post covid."
