Porch + Views: Waterfront Home on Houghton Lake!

10/10 Excellent

"House was fantastic! Highly recommend."

Cozy Houghton Lake Heights Cottage w/ Private Yard

10/10 Excellent

"The house has views if the lake with a wooden dock at end. The beds were comfy and the property was great for our dogs with a fenced in back yard and property on side (not fenced) with bonfire pit. Outside furniture ok would bring your own camp chairs for comfort. Bbq is charcoal but did the job. There is a portable AC unit in living room that helps cool down that part of house. The family room worked as a third bedroom with half bath on it right off kitchen. Might suggest a curtain for the kitchen door pain so it is more private as it was an outdoor door at one time. The house does need a little airing out if it was closed up for a bit but thats how lake houses are. It was great and would recommend staying here. Was a great time here."

Two Queen Beds w/ Lake View | Free Breakfast | Pool, Jacuzzi, & Lake Access
