Houghton Hideaway with lake access and views

Enjoy our cozy cottage with lake views from living room, kitchen, and family room. We have a fully stocked kitchen if you choose to eat in. A gas grill is available for your use. We have 2 kayaks and an assortment of life preservers to enable you to explore the water - there is a wonderful sandbar very nearby.
After day on the water or trail, or golf course, return to the cottage and enjoy the fire pit out back.
The lake access is a 4 minute walk to a warm, shallow, sandy bottom - perfect for young ones!
Relaxing and unwinding is the sole purpose!

Houghton Lake stay
The home seemed if it had never been updated and the plugs would not stay in the receptacles. The toilet was a problem from day 1 as it wouldn't accept much toilet paper and seemed as if it was always going to over flow. Therefore it had to be flushed more than once while using not to clog it or overflow.The fire-pit had a lot to desire. Also there was wood but no kindling. During our stay we found another place that was spectacular and right next to the lake. I would never waste my time or gas to go back. Sorry Jeff.

Family visit
We had a wonderful time staying in this cottage! We were visiting our grandmother and we were looking for a quiet place near her home. This place was perfect! It is a very comfortable place in a nice neighborhood. It had all of the comforts of home and we look forward to staying here again! Its a cozy cottage with nice views of the lake!
