Change up your scenery to the beautiful blue waters of Houghton Lake at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental. Begin your mornings with a cup of joe on the patio, followed by relaxing days of fishing and boating. Go skiing or snowmobiling in the winter months. When dawn turns to dusk, retreat to the warm embrace of this charming cottage. Serve a hot meal from the fully equipped kitchen, gather by the Smart TV for a movie night, and roast s’mores in the backyard.

    We've been staying at different rentals each month as a group to utilize riding trails and this house was the best so far! Beds were so comfy (and the pillows) and there was a good amount of toilet paper, coffee and other supplies! Close to trails.
