Houghton's Cove on Houghton Lake w/ Newer Pontoon INCLUDED

This beautiful home located in Houghton Lake Michigan can be enjoyed year round. With hitting the beach for a swim, exploring the canals on a kayak or stand up paddle board, summer boat rides (on our INCLUDED newer 2021 pontoon boat), s’mores around the camp fire, or playing cornhole/ladderball during the warmer months to making memories snowmobiling on the trails, sledding hills, or cross country skiing in the winter months. This waterfront home that has everything pure Michigan has to offer 12 months out of the year! We have fun games for all to play in our extra large garage/hang out area with air hockey table, foosball table (Large & small), Ping Pong, or some old fashion darts or card games (poker chips included). One of our best features is our like new 2021 Sweetwater 2286 SBX pontoon boat that comes included with the rental (must have valid drivers license & be 29+ years old to operate). We are located on a very nice semi-secluded dead end canal just a short boat ride away from the main lake. Its nice to not have to deal with the heavy winds like the lake side homes do but still have the benefit of watching the sunset as we are just north of the east bay. We have plenty of room to sleep up to 10-12 people, or ask us about having extra guests (fees included). We do not allow pets.

Home away from Home
We loved the accommodations, and the hosts and manager were very nice. This house was well equipped with everything you would need. The pontoon was very nice and spacious. The boat ride through the the canal to get to the main lake can be a bit challenging for someone that isn’t a frequent boater. The driveway is very spacious. The garage is well equipped and has lots of fun stuff. I highly recommend staying here.

Perfect location for young family
Wonderful, clean house with lots of great amenities! We loved being on a quiet part of the lake with two young children. We utilized the pontoon boat everyday we were there - that was another awesome perk. Communication with Joe, the owner, was easy and everything was well organized. Randy met us at the house shortly after arrival to explain the rules for the pontoon and how to operate it - he even went out of his way to drive my husband to the boat ramp to drop off our fishing boat. Perfect weekend, wish we could have stayed longer!! We will be back.

Gorgeous Gathering Place
Houghton Cove is a beautiful home with ample room for larger families/groups. The patios and outdoor spaces are gorgeous and overlook the cove. The owners provide access to multiple kayaks, canoes, a paddle boat, and a paddle board, in addition to the Pontoon boat featured in the listing. The garage holds a ping pong table and air hockey table, which our kids thoroughly enjoyed! The property was extremely clean and communication with Joe was excellent! We would absolutely stay here again!
