About this property

Cute, cozy, updated cottage just steps from gorgeous Houghton Lake

This adorable little cottage is just steps from Houghton Lake in the wonderful East Bay area. The cottage is clean, comfortable and has been renovated and updated over the last 2 years. It comes with everything you'll need for your lakeside getaway.
You'll feel right at home the moment you arrive at the lakefront abode. Grab your bags from the car, get yourself situated and then start enjoying everything lake life has to offer!
Moor your boat off of the small beach area that transitions to a smooth sandy bottom.
Sit outside in the comfortable Adirondack chairs and enjoy the sunsets.
Dine outside at the pub style table with 2 stools or the dining table with 2 benches that seats 4.
In the winter you can walk right out onto the ice for fishing or to watch the snowmobiles and side by sides race on the track that's built every year around the time of Tip Up Town.

Inside you will find 650 sq ft of living area featuring lake views from the living room and master bedroom.
The master bedroom sleeps 2 in a queen memory foam bed while the second bedroom sleeps 2 in a full/double memory foam bed. The living room also has a Lazy Boy full sleeper sofa.
Other comforts include air conditioning, free WiFi, 52" smart TV, family games and 2 comfortable sofas.
The living room opens to the fully equipped kitchen where you will find updated appliances, counter space, Keurig coffee maker and a small table that extends to accommodate 4.

Houghton lake has something for everyone! Both summer and winter sports, trail riding, mini golf, go carts, shopping, antiquing, dining, movies, coffee shops, ice cream shops, sweet shops and open air fruit markets.
There are drinking/eating establishments very close as well as a meat market, ice cream shop, coffee shop and open air fruit market all within walking distance of the cottage.

Business out of Town
We had business in Houghton Lake. The owner went above and beyond to work with us, giving us a lovely place to stay over a month. Such a nice guy to work with. Highly recommend

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.
