Houghton Lake Fishing Trip

The cabin was very nice and exactly as described. Location couldn’t have been better we were close to restaurants and groceries and even though the weather kept us off Houghton Lake there were other lakes close by that we were able to fish. Would highly recommend both this cabin and the area itself.

not so cool getaway

left florida for the cool north, only to endure a heat wave in michigan.. not the hosts fault. the cabin was better than most, but the description of the section of mud by the lake as a beach, not good.and, the elevated walkway is wobbly, terrible, felt like it is unsafe.

About the host

Hosted by Sarah Weatherington

Host profile image
There is a certain magic to Northern Michigan that you just can't find anywhere else. Having grown up here, I’ve spent my life enjoying the lakes, the forests, and the changing seasons. My mission is to share that magic with you. I provide vacation rentals not just as a business, but as a way to help families and friends create the same kind of lifelong Michigan memories that I treasure. Welcome to your home away from home!

Why they chose this property

Because Houghton Lake is Michigan’s ultimate playground! I picked this specific neighborhood because it offers a quiet retreat just a stone's throw from all-season adventures like fishing, snowmobiling, and boating. You get all the convenience of being near the best shops and trails, but with the tranquil atmosphere of a residential lakeside community.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because it offers a front-row seat to Michigan’s largest inland lake with the comfort of a private sanctuary. Guests love our light-filled sunroom for relaxing regardless of the weather, and our kayaks and paddleboards make getting on the water effortless. End your day at the fire pit in our quiet neighborhood—it’s the authentic, hassle-free Michigan getaway you’ve been looking for.
