Cottage vacation rentals in Houghton Lake

Beautiful peaceful place , private and easy to find , clean, neat . I loved it only suggestions is bring spray for the nats inside they were annoying it was better sitting outside no bug problems. Lol 😆 🤣

The cottage was immaculately clean, with plenty of amenities that made us feel right at home. Excellent communication by the hosts again made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended, and we'll be back in the summer for sure!

Just as described only better!!! Absolutely spotless in every aspect! Patti went out of her way to answer any question I had before and during our stay. To be honest if I listed everything I loved about this place i could write a book! My family can’t wait to go back!!! Zero complaints except to myself for not staying longer!!!

The home is perfect for a family with children. Very clean, everything was great! I recommend to everyone! We will definitely come back here 🙂

My family, friends, and I enjoyed staying at Tim’s property once again. Tim is easy to reach if needed for anything, and was a great host. The property is well located and beautiful! Walking distance to dine out, or just a few minutes drive to get groceries, while still feeling tucked away. We hope to stay again next summer.

We really enjoyed our stay, the place is for those looking for peace, tranquility and rest! The cabin is beautiful, perfect, just like the ones I saw in the movies when I was a child! The lake is beautiful, my husband had fun fishing and rowing the boat. I highly recommend it for spending some quality time.

We couldn’t have been happier with our stay! We appreciated the gorgeous lake and large yard. The lake view from the sun room was a highlight, and the sunsets were breathtaking. The cottage is well stocked with every amenity, and there is a thoughtful guide to the house and area. Our host was amazing and very attentive, ensuring we had an amazing stay. We feel lucky to have found such a lovely place to stay this time of year during peek fall foliage week; it was very peaceful and relaxing. We will be happy to come back again during the summer, as it was not the season for water sports. Beautiful, immaculately clean, and welcoming home!

Wonderful little cabin on Chippewa Lake. The accommodations were great. The lake view and sunsets were amazing. I would definitely stay here again.

Erin has such a hospitable heart and it shows in her renting of the family cabin. Filled with many cute boho-esk touches and a plethora of accommodations, erins place really stood out in its entirety. Thank you for your flexibility and hospitality! My kids are already asking when we will be back!

Great place to stay , the host was attentive and ensured a seamless stay. Highly recommend for anyone seeking relaxation by the water!

We had a fantastic stay at this lakeside gem! The house was spotless, and the instructions for check-in were clear and easy to follow. The hosts were incredibly responsive and made sure everything was perfect for our visit. The game room provided hours of fun for our group, and the kayaks were a wonderful touch for exploring the lake. Saturday morning on the water was absolutely picture-perfect—calm, serene, and stunningly beautiful. This is the perfect spot for a relaxing getaway. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a clean, fun, and peaceful retreat by the lake!

JUST BOOK THIS LISTING!! We had such a fantastic stay at this lovely home! The house was spotless, spacious, and had everything we could possibly need for a comfortable getaway. There were plenty of rooms, which made it perfect for our group. The peaceful setting by the private lake was just perfect – the water was so clean, and the neighbors were all so friendly. Kathy was incredibly kind and proactive, making sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. She was incredibly responsive, even before we arrived and took the time to answer all of my questions. I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone looking for a relaxing and peaceful retreat. We are definitely coming back next summer!!

We had another great time with my brothers and a few close friends for our annual ice fishing getaway. This house fits our needs perfectly. It was a very snowy weekend, but was still able to get out and ice fish and enjoy the Houghton Lake area! I would highly recommend this home when visiting the Houghton Lake area.

Great place to stay, comfortable, and quiet, with a great view of the river and easy access to everything.

What a beautiful little lakefront cottage! We came to Higgins Lake for cross country skiing at CX Skiing Headquarters, 5 minutes from this cottage. Anita was very responsive and left little extras like wine and chocolates. We truly felt at home and the lake views were so beautiful. Thank you!

I booked this beautiful home after my first reservation and host cancelled on me due to the storms. Well, I can say… we are so happy with our stay. It was exactly as described and even better than expected. April really is a one of a kind host, so good that I had to take notes for my own Air bnb adventure. She thought of everything! I’ve never had a better stocked kitchen. We always cook and make a big meal and we sure did not want for anything. We were even greeted with a local baked good and extra sheets and blankets for the dogs. These hosts were the best I’ve had in Michigan, if not the whole country. I’m thankful for people who truly consider someone’s stay and thinks of it all. Thank you again to the hosts. The Cabin was spotless and one of my favorite features was the deer lights.

Beautiful cottage to stay at! My 4 teenage boys, my Dad, and myself all enjoyed it very much! The boys really liked the Recreation room and even the activities in there to bring outside and play, such as basketball and badminton. Robert and Jill were quick to respond and very friendly. The cottage was clean and had some cute little touches to welcome us. I would definitely stay here again and would highly recommend it!

It was a great location for a beautiful getaway. The home was very cozy and as described. The host was very informative, proactive, and friendly. We would highly recommend!.

Even with cold, rainy weather, we still had the best weekend staying here! The cabin is so cozy with everything we needed, we felt right at home. Being right in the water was fantastic, especially enjoying the view from the hot tub on the colder days. If you're in the area I would highly recommend staying here!

We had a great time at Stacey’s place. Her home was very relaxing, a quick walk to the lake and dog-friendly—which is huge. Everyone in the area was friendly and respectful. We enjoyed spending time at the maplehurst dock, in the backyard at the bonfire pit under the tall trees and bistro lights, and relaxing inside playing games and watching shows. From s’mores ingredients and condiments to paper products and bath essentials, the house had all the extras that lots of other rentals ask you to bring. If you’re going to be staying during a hot week (above 80), we recommend bringing an extra fan for the main space. Otherwise, the windows kept the place cool and comfortable. We’d definitely stay here again.

My family enjoyed our stay here! The kids loved playing on the lake. There were more amenities than in the listing so if you aren’t sure if they have something then just ask! Ping pong in the garage was fun and we used the paddle boards.

Game room & decor was beautiful

Kathleen was a very responsive and communicated well. Her place was exactly as described in the description. It was a very nice cabin, perfect for a couple families to enjoy themselves without being right on top of each other. The hot tub was especially nice after a long day on the ski hill! Would definitely stay here again in the future! Thanks for such a nice cabin and great experience!
