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.

    The property was just as described. We had a wonderful time. The neighbors were great, having our boat docked right there was perfect. The deck is perfect for enjoying the lakeviews. Master bedroom bed was super comfortable. The owner was very wuick to respond to questions.

    We had a wonderful extended weekend celebrating the dads in our family! What a beautiful property with every thing needed for a great time at the lake! We didn’t want to leave and will definitely be booking again! The kitchen was well stocked with great cookwares which was a pleasant surprise from our usual VRBO experiences. The dock was also an added plus for us to rent a boat for few days. Recommend Macon Marine. Overall one of best vacations! Thank you!!
