Good Warm Weather Lake House
Staying in winter is great if you want to see the lake partially frozen, but one bedroom is virtually unusable due to the cold and distance from the heater. Be aware when booking. Kitchen was well stocked for cooking, and the house made for a great place to stay! I loved being right on the lake.

Houghton Lake Stay
We enjoyed ourselves at here. The owner was in contact with us and make the check in very easy. The lake was rite there. Very shallow a bit out, all sand, so great for kids. We would recommend staying here.

Cute and cozy
We weren’t at the cabin a lot because we were at our family cabin which was full, but when we were there it was cozy and comfortable. Provided us with everything we needed and some extras. Appreciate the little things like bottled water, paper plates, etc…Loved not having a key to enter. 😊
