Families can dock their boat right out front or use the kayaks right on the property. Use the firepit area to roast marshmallows or pop popcorn! The area out front on the water is sandy and not very deep which is great for kids.

It is a beautiful, well designed home and property. The scenery is spectacular and our accommodations were perfectly comfortable and pleasant.

About the host

Hosted by Paul and Katherine Palmiter

Host profile image
Our family is from the Lansing, MI area and fell in love with this quiet area but beautiful area of Michigan.

Why they chose this property

There is so much to do if you are active. There are a few state parks that are close (near Houghton and Higgins), there is hiking on the north side of Lake Saint Helen, there is boating, fishing, and swimming. You can even swim out front of the property. There are multiple trails if you like to four-wheel or snow mobile very close to the property.

What makes this property unique

This property has been completely remodeled down to the studs, electrical, and plumbing. It has a very large kitchen that is well equipped compared to most other vacation rentals we have stayed in. There is a lot to do nearby or relax on the property or water.
