-THE LOCATION-
You are central to picking your Michigan adventure on a given day, rain or shine.

S Higgins Lake State Park and N Higgins Lake State Park with incredible sandbar and scenery both sit 10 minutes away in different directions for a day at the beach, or just check out the local family fun adventures Houghton Lake has to offer. 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.
