Cozy lake retreat with great views of Houghton Lake. Close to ORV trails.

Welcome to a cozy cabin with a beautiful lake view and just a few minutes walk to the shore of Houghton Lake. This cabin is the perfect place to enjoy time with your family. The kids will love the outdoor space complete with grill and firepit. Enjoy the firepit as you plan your day trip to nearby areas including walking to Houghton Lake, or a quick drive to Higgins Lake and the AuSable River. There are wonderful hiking trails and beautiful parks and beaches in the area as well as over 200 miles of ORV trails.

About the Cabin: Located off the main drag, this cabin is across the street from road end access to the lake. This gives you great views and a quick walk to enter and exit the lake at the public access road end.

Bring your boat, kayak, snowmobiles, jet skis or ORVs to explore the area and have great adventures. There is room to park at least one trailer along with two other vehicles. When the sun sets, rewind back at the cabin with a bonfire that overlooks the lake or watch the SmartTVs/Rokus with your personal log ins.
