A Precious Little Gem

This adorable cabin is very roomy. Sits on a quiet road that leads to the lake, yet close to shopping and eateries. May not matter to anyone else, but to me the water pressure was perfect. The bed in master suite was perfect, I slept like a baby. Everything was perfect... many thanks to Mark & Katie.

Why they chose this property

We are located in the center of Houghton Lake action! Just walking distance from lake access at the end of Burrill Drive, this area can be used for launching small watercraft (kayaks, canoes, etc). Larger boats can be launched at the DNR boat launch just 2 miles down M-55. Across M-55 is the ORV trail head with large parking area. We are also surrounded with all the essentials for grocery, restaurants, convenience stores and hardware!

We are now offering kayaks and a paddleboard for our guests enjoyment. Some life jackets and paddles will be provided. Please be sure to return all equipment in the same place and condition you found it. Thank you!
