Cozy home in nice neighborhood with beautiful lake views - close to shopping, restaurants, and other activities. The neighborhood is so conveniently located, but feels tucked away in a laidback, slow paced, little lake village.

This home is 1400 square feet. It has a master suite with queen size bed, twin size pull out sleeper chair, large closet and private full bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has a pull down twin size Murphy bed and high quality queen size futon. The house was originally a two bedroom. The master bedroom and laundry area were an addition. Due to how the addition was designed, you need to pass through the bedroom with the futon(the 3rd bedroom)to access the master addition. You can go outside and around to another entrance if you want to avoid having to pass through the 3rd bedroom, but so far our guests have not had any problems with the layout.
The main living/kitchen area is an open layout. There is a main kitchen table that seats 6, and a Jack Daniels barrel table with 4 barstools. There is a main 3/4 bath and a full wall of windows to enjoy the view of the main lake.
Outside there is a gas grill, poly table and 6 chairs as well as 5 poly Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. The water is shallow enough to wade right out from the private dock or bring your boat and explore the 22,000 acre lake!

We have tried to think of everything our guests would need to enjoy their stay. We try to provide, but can't guarantee, many extra little things such as pantry items, cleaning supplies, storage bags - saran and tin foil as well as plenty of bathroom supplies.

There is a washer and dryer for your use and plenty of parking.

Houghton lake has something for everyone - in the summer- boat, swim, fish or ride the trails with dirt bikes or ATVs. In the winter- ice fish or enjoy snowmobiling. Shopping and dining at the local stores is good all year around!

Thank you for checking out our home!

    This home was perfect for the two of us for a short cross country ski trip. The home was very clean and communication was excellent. I received a text on our check in day that it was ready several hours before the advertised check in time. This was very affordable for us, but would be even more so for a large group. We couldn't have been happier with our choice.

    The house was exactly as listed and in the pictures. We really enjoyed our stay during the week of mid October. It was very quiet, the lake view was perfect and fire circle very well designed for cozy fires. Very clean and owners easy to work with, would stay again if in area.Great location to town, Hartwick Pines and nearby State Parks.

Everything from the view, cleanliness and supplies provided to the communication with the host were absolutely fantastic. We especially loved the sunrises and the little duck families swimming by multiple times a day like they owned the place lol. Highly recommend. We plan to book next summer

    The cabin was spotless and beautiful inside. We had 5 guys and had room for four of us on beds and one of us on the couch. The beds and couch were very plush and comfortable.Plenty of dishware and miscellaneous condiments for use. Host provided a full welcome document with what we could or could not use as well as local recommendations for food. Host also had a Blackstone for use which was clutch for doing some grilling in the winter.Overall a great host and I would recommend this location to anyone.

    Our family of 5 LOVED this home! It was so clean, so accommodating and communication with Kathy was excellent. The extras in the kitchen and bathrooms was so appreciated! Our kids (ages 10, 8 & 6) said it felt just like home and were very sad to leave. My husband had excellent ice fishing and my girls and I had fun wandering through the mercantile down the street. I would highly recommend this home! Being able to park in the garage was an added bonus!

    This house was fantastic for 4 of us to get away for a golf weekend. The house was as described. Furniture and fixture were all high quality, which you do not always get in short term rentals. Beautiful spot I’d like to visit again. We were not in the house much but the time we were we were comfortable.
