Family-friendly holiday rentals in Houghton Lake

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!

Extremely unique layout and design of house. The house easily accommodated our whole party and the deck, hot tub, River, and kitchens were wonderful. The house is fully stocked with all amenities that other AirBnBs often lack like towels, toiletries, kitchen appliances/basic spice/condiments. The property is densely forested and feels very secluded. Great stay.

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.

Great stay, the CUTEST location. Quiet, relaxing..right on the lake! couldn't ask for a better up north vibe!

The angler's retreat was just what we were looking for. Private, secluded and very peaceful. Jeff & MJ provided everything we needed for a comfortable stay. All we needed to bring was food and clothes. There was even fresh cookies for us to enjoy. Will definitely be visiting again!

Our family took our spring break vacation at this wonderful place! We were able to unplug from the real world and enjoy time together! The location was wonderful! Even though it was cold, we had the game room downstairs and a bunch of board games that were provided by Brenda! The best part was the VHS tapes that our children never had seen before. The kids loved it as much as we did! Thank you for such a wonderful experience!

Great little cottage. Loved the location and the proximity to town. Everything we needed. Will definitely return hopefully when it isn’t cold and rainy so I can enjoy the beautiful screened porch and nice yard/firepit.

We recently had the pleasure of staying in this charming, rustic cabin that was the perfect blend of comfort and tranquility. Nestled in a serene, wooded setting, the cabin felt like a true retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The cabins interior was warm and inviting and the soft lighting and cozy furnishings made it an ideal place to relax, especially after a day spent outdoors. The stove was a highlight and many baked items were made. Helpful signage and detailed instructions made check in a breeze. Will recommend to friends / family.

Great place on a snowy cold weekend. Enjoyed the fenced in backyard for the pups and our ten year old, the potbelly stove to warm up, fully stocked kitchen, games, books, internet. Was perfect.

Really great home and really great host. Thank you so much, Tim.

Dorothea and her husband Glenn were fantastic hosts. They seemed just as excited as us to be there. Dorothea was very kind and outgoing, and very accommodating. Even checked in on us mid-way to make sure everything was to our liking. The location was just a few blocks away from Higgins lake, and house had a very neat theme and was immaculate. Our favorite part of the trip was seeing a family of deer every day and night! Thanks again. I would highly recommend!

Beautiful views, quaint, comfortable, and homey place to unwind and recharge! Local store and restaurant within walking distance. Everything you might have forgotten and need is a short drive into town.

Beautiful place, so peaceful and quiet. The cottage was incredibly clean and welcoming. There are several restaurants close by. If you are looking for a quiet place to rest and unwind, I would highly recommend staying here.

An absolutely beautiful space and amazing hosts. I had the perfect stay with Monica and Gary, they were so friendly and helpful. The apartment is the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in by far, the view from the balcony is beautiful and the lake access is beautiful with a large sandy beach. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit lake city. Also, very comfy beds and a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Melissa did a nice job and everything was as presented. She provides good communication and instructions were right on. We were golfing at Forest Dunes so the location was perfect. Local restaurants and pizzeria nearby as well as a nice grill for steaks. The place suited our needs perfectly.

We really enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay here again when we are in the area. The house was comfortable, well stocked & made us feel like we were at home. Loved our home away from home!

Very nice place, perfect for our team participating at the GLEF horse show !

Very cozy home! We enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and lack of phone service. A great getaway!

Terra place was nice with a nice lake. I enjoyec the peace and the lake. she had kayas and a paddle boat the kids really enjoyed the lake.

We have had multiple family members stay at Jodie’s place over the years and she has always taken care of them! We are so thankful to have a place that feels like home and to know our family will enjoy their time :) Thank you, Jodie!
