We had a lovely time at this beautiful little cottage. Absolutely beautiful sunsets. There is not a beach but the lake has a sandy bottom that you can walk out quite a ways and it still stays shallow.

This place was beautiful! All remodeled, and very clean. It’s on the smaller side, but was perfect for our family of 3, (even had a pull out couch for bigger families) and very functional! The owner Jen was wonderful, answered any questions you had, and responded very quickly! Amazing view of The sunset every night! We would stay here again, highly recommend!

Winter weekend in Houghton Lake

We had recently sold our place in this area and wanted to enjoy a weekend in the area. This was a great little place on the lake. It was clean and decorated nicely. We enjoyed our weekend and are already thinking of another weekend to return.
