You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Newly updated Lakefront Houghton Lake home - close to popular sandbar.

Cozy home in nice neighborhood with beautiful lake views - close to shopping, restaurants, and other activities. The neighborhood is so conveniently located, but feels tucked away in a laidback, slow paced, little lake village.

This home is 1400 square feet. It has a master suite with queen size bed, twin size pull out sleeper chair, large closet and private full bath. The second bedroom has a queen size bed and the third bedroom has a pull down twin size Murphy bed and high quality queen size futon. The house was originally a two bedroom. The master bedroom and laundry area were an addition. Due to how the addition was designed, you need to pass through the bedroom with the futon(the 3rd bedroom)to access the master addition. You can go outside and around to another entrance if you want to avoid having to pass through the 3rd bedroom, but so far our guests have not had any problems with the layout.
The main living/kitchen area is an open layout. There is a main kitchen table that seats 6, and a Jack Daniels barrel table with 4 barstools. There is a main 3/4 bath and a full wall of windows to enjoy the view of the main lake.
Outside there is a gas grill, poly table and 6 chairs as well as 5 poly Adirondack chairs and a fire pit. The water is shallow enough to wade right out from the private dock or bring your boat and explore the 22,000 acre lake!

We have tried to think of everything our guests would need to enjoy their stay. We try to provide, but can't guarantee, many extra little things such as pantry items, cleaning supplies, storage bags - saran and tin foil as well as plenty of bathroom supplies.

There is a washer and dryer for your use and plenty of parking.

Houghton lake has something for everyone - in the summer- boat, swim, fish or ride the trails with dirt bikes or ATVs. In the winter- ice fish or enjoy snowmobiling. Shopping and dining at the local stores is good all year around!

Thank you for checking out our home!
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned vacation home, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private patio. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.
This smoke-free vacation home features games and water skiing nearby.
Guests will find features like internet access and onsite parking.

Great golf getaway
This house was fantastic for 4 of us to get away for a golf weekend. The house was as described. Furniture and fixture were all high quality, which you do not always get in short term rentals. Beautiful spot I’d like to visit again. We were not in the house much but the time we were we were comfortable.

Great family vacation
The property was too close to the sand bar. No real swimming for adults. Water too shallow. It was a great place to relax with relatives and share big family meals. Kitchen very well stocked.

Wonderful Property
My family and I made wonderful memories in this home. This house felt like a home to us. It was exactly as described and pictures. The home had absolutely every little odds and ends we needed to complete our stay. The owners were quick to reply and very kind. You will not regret renting this property. The views and local access was perfect.

Amazing place!
This place is awesome. Right on the water, super clean, very well appointed and excellent communication with the owners. The place is right near the sand bar and the water is shallow pretty far out, it was perfect for younger kids. We absolutely loved our time here and hope we can come back next year!

Perfect location at Houghton Lake
This is a lovely home, beautifully furnished - right on the lake. Very responsive owner when we had a problem. My only caveat is the "third bedroom" which is very small and actually a pass-through from the garage/master bedroom area to the front of the house where the kitchen and 2nd bedroom are. Not much privacy! Otherwise, one of the very best VRBOs I have ever stayed in.

Very nice property!
The description says, it is newly updated and it is! The home was very nicely furnished, equipped, and clean. The owners have been doing some remodeling and it shows. Our stay, which consisted of 4 adults, was in the winter as we went skiing somewhat nearby. I can imagine that this property would also be fantastic in the summer as it is right on the water. A question came up, during our stay, and the owners were very responsive. Reading some of the previous comments, in the guest book, there is mention of return visits. I can definitely see why. We hope to come back and stay here again.
