Entire place

Cute cabin located in the Houghton Lake area.
Good old camping at your fingertips! Nothing fancy. Just a clean and comfortable place for you to stay. But definitely an upgrade from tent camping or even a regular rustic cabin. If you would like to take a breather from daily stressors or plan a technology break, then this is the place for you. From bonfires and smores to kayaking and biking or just a relaxing day at the beach. This cabin is not waterfront but only half mile away from the nearest lake access. Close to trails, boat launches and town center. Popular destinations like Traverse City or Torch Lake is not too far away either if you just plan to take a day trip. Houghton Lake is not only a quaint little town that gives you that up north feeling but it also offers the convenience of having stores and restaurants when you need them. Friends and families will surely have a blast. So relax, enjoy and make memories! Life is better at the lake!

We did enjoy our time here! Very cute “cottage”. And quiet although it was 4th of July weekend. Houghton lake is super close walk to Lakeview Beach and Sullivan Beach is just a quick drive down the road too. Higgins

Liked: Cleanliness, communication
The house was neat and tidy, with a large yard. Very convenient to stores and restaurants. Downside: large black ants in the kitchen and sheer curtains on all of the windows. No privacy.
We’re a family of five and this was a perfect stay for us. Comfortable, clean, nothing fancy, just what we needed with no frills. The yard is beautiful and I love that it’s all fenced in. Made me feel very safe that my little ones could play outside with minimal supervision. Would definitely stay here again.
Minutes from FUN!! Quiet neighborhood. Communication between Hostess and myself was professional and prompt. A very quiant and humble residence. Thank you Ms. Mary for opening your home. Highly recommend.
