About this property
Houghton Lake Cottage w/ New Private Deck!
Tucked away on the shore of Houghton Lake sits your next family vacation rental. Located in the quaint town of Prudenville, this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom cottage provides a perfect all-season escape. On warm days, bring the boat and spend sunny afternoons cruising around the lake or head to a nearby park to fish or ATV. In the winter, there are still plenty of outdoor activities to keep the whole group entertained. No matter what, be sure to return home for dinner and great views to end the day!
