About this property

Houghton Hideaway with lake access and views

Enjoy our cozy cottage with lake views from living room, kitchen, and family room. We have a fully stocked kitchen if you choose to eat in. A gas grill is available for your use. We have 2 kayaks and an assortment of life preservers to enable you to explore the water - there is a wonderful sandbar very nearby.
After day on the water or trail, or golf course, return to the cottage and enjoy the fire pit out back.
The lake access is a 4 minute walk to a warm, shallow, sandy bottom - perfect for young ones!
Relaxing and unwinding is the sole purpose!

Family visit
We had a wonderful time staying in this cottage! We were visiting our grandmother and we were looking for a quiet place near her home. This place was perfect! It is a very comfortable place in a nice neighborhood. It had all of the comforts of home and we look forward to staying here again! Its a cozy cottage with nice views of the lake!

Wonderful cabin stay!
Jeff was awesome in communicating when needed. Cabin was super clean. Comfortable and quiet. We had my 4 year old and she had a blast. So many options for beach vacation. I would definitely go back for a week anytime. Beds where comfortable also thats always a plus! Thanks for letting my family enjoy.
