Affordable pontoon rentals from the Houghton Lake Marina 1 mile away could be your ticket to an afternoon on the water.

Want to branch out from the Houghton and Higgins Lake Michigan area for the Pure Michigan experience? Shopping, golfing, hitting the beach, or learning Michigan history, we are conveniently located less than 1.5 hours in all directions to unique tourist favorites Traverse City, Petoskey, Gaylord, Mackinaw City, and East Tawas. In summer find a river to float, or experience fishing at some of the finest fresh water lakes our country has to offer.

In the fall, have you ever enjoyed a northern Michigan color tour and seen the tapestry of spectacular colors from oak, maple, birch and others? If not, or if you have and can’t wait to get back, northern Michigan in fall is a special treat to enjoy.

Are snow sports and the cold more your thing? Our house sits 400 feet from a main artery onto Houghton Lake for snow sled enthusiasts and several other options are nearby in Grayling and Harrison to ski or snow tube. If you can think it, you can do it from our property as our family as experienced. Up to 4 snow sleds or 2 Razrs can fit in our drive through garage to keep them out of the elements and safe.

Our family believes in the memories we create and the experiences we share which is what led us to get this place in one of our favorite locations. We hope you decide to choose our property and make memories of your own.

Close to trails and town
My husband and I stayed at the Cab-age for a long weekend getaway. The house was clean and in a great location. A short drive to town and restaurants and a short drive to the trailhead. The bed was so incredibly comfortable, we slept great. Our sxs fit perfectly in the garage and we were able drive the few short miles to the trailhead vs having to load up on the trailer. We had great communication with the owner! Just one note, I missed the message in the app about checkout instructions and only saw the note in the book provided at the house which only listed stripping the beds. Just wanted to mention so you don't make the same mistake we did. Thank you for sharing your home with us! We had a wonderful time!

Cab-age patch kids
And to think we almost didn’t take an end of the summer trip. Our family and friends enjoyed the house and used all the amenities including the smoker! The yard was spacious enough for yard games and both our vehicles. We went to Higgins lake a few times, the water is beautiful! The house had everything we needed. The upstairs did get really warm but we spent most our time outside. The older kids enjoyed the bunk room. Beds were cozy and we all loved the couches upstairs. We wanted to bring them with us when leaving 😂 We typically stay closer to Higgins but wouldn’t mind renting here again in the future. Andy was ON IT with any questions we had. Great time was had by everyone.

Cozy property, perfect for families
This cozy property at the north end of Houghton Lake was a great central hub for day trips in many directions. It was well appointed with kitchen and recreation supplies and in a lovely neighborhood safe for walking. The host is thoughtful and communications before, during and after our stay were clear and very prompt. We had a fabulous time without worry.
