Cabin vacation rentals in Houghton Lake

Cabin was clean,completely outfitted with everything that you need .Quiet and peaceful. We will be returning..

Tom was great! he helped us out with a trailer issue, highly recommend staying here! will be going back again

We had a wonderful time at the cabin! Very toddler friendly and the access to the water was perfect.

I had an amazing time! So thankful for a few peaceful and cozy days.

This was our second stay at Cathy's Cabin. As always the cabin was clean and welcoming, just put the cooler contents in the fridge and begin enjoying the stay. I enjoy this lake. It reminds me very much of my grandparents lake cottage. Late May is still cool weather in Michigan and Cathy's brother made a special effort to get the pontoon boat ready for us. We enjoyed being out on the water and trying our hands at fishing. I caught a northern pike at the north end of the lake, Khi caught some small walleye right off the dock. For guests in the warmer weather there is every kind of summertime toys imaginable in the shed, kayaks etc... We would definitely look forward to returning to Cathy's Cabin again.

We had a wonderful stay! The home is perfect, clean and spacious. It was just what we needed for a fun girls weekend! Mike is SO nice, responsive and easy to communicate with. He certainly wants you to enjoy your stay! Cannot wait to visit again!

This was my first time renting an Airbnb and I was hesitant given the reputation. Christina's cabin was beyond 5 stars. Quiet, remote, peaceful, and beautiful. There were instructions for any questions you could think of. Christina has thought of everything. Even if something was forgotten, Christina had extra. I will be back for another fall vacation at this cabin in the future.

Chelsea‘s cottage was a great, cozy, clean northern retreat. We will definitely be back!

Amazing location right on the river with beautiful views and excellent fishing. Incredibly relaxing! Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Excellent stay at this Airbnb. If you are thinking of coming to St Helen to ride the ORV trails, this is an excellent choice! It’s right down the street from St Helen Motorsports, two gas stations, 3 restaurants, 2 pizza shops and multiple trail head entrances within 2 miles or less!!! The house looks exactly like the pictures and description, and the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and indoor fireplace were amazing! I will note….it is a bit on the small side. Beds are as described, but feet hang off the bed and rooms are small. 4 grown adults was pushing it here, especially with one bathroom. Also note. There is BARELY enough room for a small truck and trailer to park in front. The other truck had to park underneath the large garage due to no park space. Other than that, which is really just an explanation, it is the ultimate st Helen stop!

Would definitely stay here again! Beautiful area- right on the lake, quiet and peaceful, heard elk from a far…etc. It was 25 min away from downtown but the hot tub and bonfire provided entertainment. Loved the house!

My husband spent two nights at this wonderful cabin and so enjoyed our time there! We ate at the boat house for lunch one day and walked the Wolf Creek Trailhead another, but other than that we enjoyed being at the cabin! The backyard was incredibly serene! We read and talked for hours around the bonfire until dark and then hit the hot tub both nights! What a wonderful space to get away and reconnect as a couple! I would absolutely suggest it as a couples get away! ❤️

This stay was exceptional. A perfect place to relax and unwind. The lofted bed was very comfortable, the kitchen was incredibly well appointed, and of course access to a top-of-line hot tub doesn’t hurt. We also loved using the blackstone. The whole cabin was thoughtfully built, decorated and maintained. We loved having a coffee/drink on the upper dock overlooking the river every morning and evening. Easy access to the river. Walking the neighborhood felt akin to a nature reserve. 10/10 stay, we hope to return many times

My wife’s family wanted to go to the casino in Standish. We didn’t, but it was an excuse to get away. This is 30 minutes away. As soon as we walked in the door, we fell in love with the place. The smell of fresh pine is everywhere, and it’s real. As I walked through the place, I thought of asking about the process they went through to make this beautiful cabin. There’s actually a picture book on the mantle that shows how they started with an empty shell. Very cool. If you look only at square footage, this is a small cabin. But, they use the space very efficiently. I never thought for one moment that the place was small or cramped. And, this is way better than a cabin at a campground. But, the real highlight is the host. It soon started feeling like we were family. Not family that makes you go to a stupid casino, but someone that’s there for you, always responding within minutes, even at 12:30 in the morning. I wish my family were more like that. Highly recommended!

A wonderful place!! Beautiful and peaceful! We had 8 people and it fit everyone comfortably! Plenty of space for kiddos to run around and play. Perfect for a weekend getaway, highly recommend!

Me, my wife and dog had the most relaxing couple of day stay. The lake was geogeous, the cabin was cozy, was just what we wanted

What a gem of a cabin in beautiful setting! Krystle was soo helpful and responsive and let us have an earlier check-in time. There was great instructions for check-in and check-out, which made it all easy. She was a fabulous host. Very responsive and helpful. We would love to come back again and stay longer!

Thank you for sharing your Up North Cabin with our family.

Truly an exceptional stay. Top tier hosts that have gone above and beyond to make the stay feel like home. Incredibly clean, no bugs. A really nice little house. Property is beautifully maintained. So relaxing. Wildlife everywhere. We loved all the turtles. The only negative would be the goose poop all over the yard, but that’s just wild life being wild (I would just pack footwear accordingly) Overall, we are super happy with our stay and hope to be back! Thanks for everything!

This was our 2nd time staying here & everything was as we remembered. beautiful location & wonderful neighbors ❤️

This is the second time I've stayed. For personal reasons, I had to leave early, but the hosts were very gracious and kind. The house is great and comfortable as always. The host is always easy to reach and great to speak with. I hope to make more trips here in the future for some rest away from home!

Nice spot, perfect for our needs - fishing the au sable river nearby. Good beds and furniture. Kitchen was spartan but totally adequate. Out in the woods, whitetail deer wandering on property. Beautiful pine forest. Very secluded but easy to find.

A beautiful spot for a nice time away! We loved the hot tub, bonfire pit & our stay all around! Perfect hang out spot with a beautiful view! Great communication and the information they provided was very helpful! We would most certainly stay again! 😄

it was a great cabin we had to leave early do to my husband brian injury but stay was great while we were there
