Beautiful spacious lake home with everything you need to have for a vacation filled with family memories. Easy check in and out, lovey kitchen for family meals together and out door fire pit for fun. Our Grandson loved fishing off the dock and we walked just a few steps to swimming in the lake!

Our family enjoyed our stay on Houghton Lake. The house was perfect for our group of 7.
There was plenty of room for us to spread out and the beds were so comfortable. Kitchen was well-stocked with everything we needed and more. I appreciated that the basics- dish soap, laundry soap, toilet paper, trash bags, etc were supplied - such a nice bonus.
We loved kayaking and paddle-boarding through the channel out to the lake. There’s another great channel just to the right that we spent hours paddling. We loved walking down the street to the dock and watching sunsets. We ate at Spikehorn - great food and very reasonably priced.
The house is on a channel that wasn’t great for floating or swimming, but we had fun fishing. We rented a pontoon from Suncatchers - they bring the boat right to the house! We had fun out on the water, at the sandbars and going for sunset rides.
There’s no grill, but we cooked over the fire a couple times. Lots of outdoor seats.
There’s a coffee shop and ice cream stop about 3 minutes down the road that we enjoyed. We also loved Limberlost restaurant. There’s a park very close with pickleball courts and that was fun.
Overall it was a great trip and would definitely recommend this house for a stay on Houghton Lake.
The home was better than the pictures. There is a beautiful wood table large enough for all 8 guests to sit comfortably around to enjoy a meal or for family games. It was impeccably cleaned. Everything you need is there and available for use in the kitchen. I like to cook my own food rather than going out to eat. The owners have a book helping you to know what is around to do or good restaurants nearby. The owners answer any text messages in a timely manner. We had a great stay!
Family fun, very spacious, clean, had everything you could need. Fun fishing on the channel right in the back yard. The street was quit, with a cute dock at the end of the road where you could watch the sunset.
