Awesome newly redone property. Easily parked our boat in the drive, close to both Higgins and Houghton Lake. We are avid road cyclists and the location allowed us to take off each morning for 25-40 mile rides on beautiful paved roads. Highly recommend this property. Will definitely reserve property again if we are looking for a rental in this area.

Just got home from our stay at naughty in the woods wow an amazing spot if you’re into using side-by-side or riding the trails at Houghton Lake. Great location, conveniently located by plenty of bars and restaurants auto parts stores and a Walmart. Only 1.2 miles from the Denton Creek trailhead which is a blast. It offers great trails in great scenery. When we got done, we lit a fire outback, and sat and laughed about all the time we had on the trails. We will definitely be back a great spot!

Was very nice. Felt upscale. Only one small drawback. Would have been nice if it had a half bath to go along with the full bath. But we made it work.

About the host

Hosted by Kaylan Field

Host profile image
I live in Fenton but love the Houghton Lake area! We enjoy riding our ORVs as much as we enjoy the water, so this place is great for us.

Why they chose this property

Being able to ride to the trails right from the house and having the lake so close really sold me.

What makes this property unique

Being able to ride to the trails directly from the house while still being so close to the water, nice fire pit and the trail through the backyard are my favorite features.
