Houghton Lake Cottage Escape w/ Patio!

Change up your scenery to the beautiful blue waters of Houghton Lake at this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation rental. Begin your mornings with a cup of joe on the patio, followed by relaxing days of fishing and boating. Go skiing or snowmobiling in the winter months. When dawn turns to dusk, retreat to the warm embrace of this charming cottage. Serve a hot meal from the fully equipped kitchen, gather by the Smart TV for a movie night, and roast s’mores in the backyard.

The location is nice and easy to find. Quiet and peaceful. House is beautiful and back porch and yard allowed for slit of space for our group of 8. Beds were comfortable and we used the kitchen for a few meals. Would recommend!
