Beautiful Lakeside Home!
This home is located right on Houghton Lake, with beautiful views from the sun room, living room, dining room, kitchen and main bedroom! We spent time on both gorgeous decks overlooking the water, and rented a pontoon to explore Houghton Lake. This is a home we wouldn't mind coming back to over and over again!

Beautiful Houghton Lake Home
Everything was excellent. My challenge was with the trundle bed. Both my teen age kids are over 5’8”, so both of them sleeping in the trundle bedroom was not an option which was my plan. And the trundle was very squeaky. Thankfully, my brother is close by, so G’ma had another bedroom option.

Phenomenal
Place was absolutely beautiful, clean, comfortable, so many nice decorative touches. Owners had a nice welcome gift waiting upon our arrival and checked in with us several times during our stay. Would not hesitate to stay here again and certainly hope to do so in the future. Ron and Karen Michalski
