Vacation rentals with a kayak in Houghton Lake

Great place for a get way, bring all you need before coming. Get a jeep and go off roading on the budweiser trail. Overall it’s fun.

Great location for ice fishing. Listing is accurate, spacious and clean. Will definitely book again and look forward to checking this home out for a summer trip. Host is very responsive, friendly and helpful!

We had a wonderful stay. The house was cozy and we felt very at home. Comfy beds, this home has everything and more. Lots of games, activities, the hot tub was an added bonus. Beautiful neighborhood. It was a perfect week get away! We will be back!!!

The house is great setup for a relaxing family vacation. It is a nice quiet lake with a private beach and great fishing off the dock and around the whole lake. Our toddler loved the sand toys and we relaxed around the fire pit after dark. We also explored kid-friendly activities in Big Rapids and Mount Pleasant during our stay. The house was well-equipped and we really enjoyed our time here!

My husband and I, along with our 3 Siberian huskies stayed for 2 nights. We wished it was for longer! Jenna granted us an extra hr for check out which we really appreciated! Also, this house is incredibly clean. We were both impressed. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would love to come back. Something to note: there’s about 3-5 ft of water before you get into “muck” and the lake is full of seaweed. We brought our paddle board and floated around. The water is very clear and it was actually quite beautiful to look at the fish and even the seaweed looked beautiful. There are some deeper parts that you could definitely avoid touching any weeds. But just something to note if you plan on swimming. Also, we didn’t explore the entire lake so not sure what the far half is like. SUNRISES ARE GORGEOUS HERE! I would book this place just to watch the sunrise. And lots of wildlife. I would think kids would really enjoy it! Turtles, geese, tons of fish, loons. Again, overall highly recommend

This home was lovely and provided everything we needed for our crafting week. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen well stocked with cooking supplies. The home was very clean and modern. The host was very responsive when we had questions. We didn’t need to contact them while there since we had no issues at all. Would highly recommend this home when staying in the Prudenville/ Houghton Lake area.

We were staying in the area to XC ski - and so the location was great! The driveway was cleared of snow when we arrived. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable - in spite of the deep freeze temps for two of the days we were there! Crystal was quick to remedy the situation when one of the coffee makers didn’t work. We enjoyed our 12 day stay.

Such a beautiful home, well maintained and Kim & Tony had everything you could need. We enjoyed our stayed and loved using the hot tub every night. Also loved the clear sandy beach!

We had a wonderful stay at this cute little lake house! Our family was very comfortable and had everything we needed! It was nice waking up lakefront during our stay in Harrison! Thank you!

We booked this cabin for a nice little relaxing girls getaway and it was just that! Located in a very quiet neighborhood. The cabin itself was very nice and clean. Only snafu was the neighborhood was without power for several hours one evening (obviously not fault of the host). I would recommend this cabin to others and would definitely return. Thank you for hosting us Marissa!

The Blue Gill Cottage was a beautiful place to spend Memorial Day weekend with our family! The location is so peaceful and relaxing. We enjoyed the beautiful lakefront view, kayaking and fishing during the day and bonfires at night! Barbara was a wonderful host who was quick to respond with any questions we had. We highly recommend! We plan on many more visits in the future!

We had a wonderful stay at the Lily Pad Cottage. The surroundings were peacefull and serene. We enjoyed the beauty of nature everyday. We saw Orioles & hummingbirds, bunnies, a mama deer with her fawn, a snake, frogs, a loon on the lake. We fished, we kayaked. We enjoyed the beauty of Bass Lake. The cottage was very cozy. We especially enjoyed the sun porch and its beautiful views. Patti has a great response time. We had one small issue and it was fixed within an hour.

This place was amazing! Perfect for a family of 10 plus two pups. This house had everything you needed and more! It had all the water toys, games for family night, fishing poles and chairs to surround the fire at night with everyone. The dock was perfect to stand for hours to fish and catch any quantity and quality of fish. My family and I were amazed with our stay in an air bnb. I highly recommend this place to stay in, and we’re already planning our next trip here. Evelyn was very helpful, tentative and warned us of storms heading our way. We really appreciate everything.

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.

Great spot, exactly what we needed! It’s small and cozy, in a quiet area 10-15 minutes drive from anything you need. Smooth check in, clean spot, had whatever amenities you could think of. One thing: If you are taller than me (6’4) you may have some trouble with the bathroom. I made it work but were I an inch taller I wouldn’t have been able to fit for certain activities 😂

The Airbnb was perfect for our mother, daughters weekend get away. It was clean and had everything we needed. The lake and outdoor spaces are very nice. Deanna was friendly and quick to respond. I highly recommend and would definitely book again.

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

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!

My wife and I went here with our two dogs for our 4 year anniversary and the location was perfect. It was very peaceful and we are very happy that we were able to stay at this property and make memories.

Our family had an amazing time. Great location.

Super cute and cozy cabin that was perfect for our group of 6 while we were in town for the Bayshore Marathon. We enjoyed our stay!

We stayed the weekend for our anniversey and it was so peaceful! Loved all the views from inside the house. My husband loved being able to step outside and fish. Would definitely book again.

6th year staying at Dennis and Danielle’s cabin in Gladwin. My family loves staying there, great veiw of lake , great size for my families needs there’s usually 8- to 12 of us. We’ve had good luck fishing, 33 inch Pike, huge bass. We rent a pontoon boat! Will be back next year! Thanks Dennis and Danielle

My husband and I came here for our 20th Anniversary get away. We wanted something small, and private and it was all that and more! From the moment we pulled up, the property was tidy and so was the home. It was small and super cozy which made it very enjoyable. The rooms were just perfect; we appreciated all the attention to detail. The beds/mattresses were very comfortable, the sheets and pillows were of great quality, and so were the blankets! The indoor fireplace was so stinking cute, I loved using it! The kitchen, pantry and bathroom were stocked with all the necessitates and then some. The hot tub was a great touch, it was clean and very enjoyable, especially being outside surrounded by nature. The sound of the river water was also so peaceful. We enjoyed the outdoor fireplace and the seating area, that was the ideal way to enjoy a good book. Barb and Art were a pleasure to communicate with. They were quick to respond and that made things go very smoothly. We had an amazing time!
