Beautiful cabin on Houghton Lake
The cabin was everything I hoped for. It was beautifully decorated and the view is just beautiful!! It is equipped with everything you would need. Had a few questions and Lisa responded fast. Thank you for letting me stay at your beautiful cabin. I’m already planning my next time to come back!

Perfect Lake house
Our family of 6 adults and one baby stayed for a 3 day weekend. We loved having the private dock to tie up our water toys and boat, as well as the house comes with some fun floaties and kayaks. The house was stocked very well for us to cook at home or close to restaurants. Great air conditioning for the summer and we will be back for winter time! We fit three vehicles in the parking space but you wouldn't have too much room for a trailer etc. Marina is close by.

Wonderful
My dad, husband, and I had a great time staying at this place. My dad was able to bring his boat and tie it to the dock right on the property. We had pretty good luck fishing on the lake! House was clean and we loved being on the deck. We would definitely go back to this place!

Great place!
We have stayed at Houghton Lake over the past years and this has been our favorite place, yet! Some little things, like, could use a “pooper scooper” for geese poop on the property. Also, I accidentally left my make-up bag (while trying to pack up with an autistic son) and it wasn’t found, as of yet…. My Apple Watch that was inside the bag was charged fully and still not located, at this time…. But besides that, GREAT view, great location, great stay….
