Suite with Shared Private Beach! PET FRIENDLY!

This suite has shared private lake access with the resort and access to everything the resort offers, including the lake. This is a one room studio with a bathroom and a full kitchen with gas stove, microwave, refrigerator, toaster, Keurig and a drip coffee maker and enough cooking utensils, dishes and flatware to get you by. There is a small dining table and Queen Size Bed.
We are a pet friendly resort, so please bring your furry friends along! There will be a fee of $25/pet/night charged for the stay of our furry friends.

1 GB of WiFi works all the way to the end of the dock, and there’s also Roku Television with Spectrum.

Outside there is a small table to dine at, Weber Charcoal Grill, and a couple of chairs.

Shared amenities are the beach, dock, fire pit, kayaks, tetherball, shuffleboard, and a fish cleaning station. There is plenty of private parking right across the street for your vehicles and trailers.

The Houghton Lake area almost has too many things to mention. We are walking distance to the copper gazebo where the birdwatching and fishing are incredible. Swimming, boating (several places to rent pontoons, or we have some small fishing boats to rent too), waterskiing, GOLF (many great courses in the immediate area), fishing, hiking, ORV’s are for rent right down the street (snowmobiles too), geocaching (one of the largest in the state), shopping, eating, kayaking, color tours, cross country skiing, sledding, and many, many more things to do here.

Make door of the room you rented is booked
Communication with owner and the lady who's the manages the rentals was fantastic. They were considerate but couldn't help out since the whole place was booked that day. It emptied out the following day and we didn't get offered a better spot. According to Vrbo we thought we rented the one 20 steps off the water because of medical reasons and ended up 150 steps off the water with a small concrete slab and a gravel parking lot outside our door. No place for 2 adults, one with a knee problem and 2 dogs with nowhere to go. No grass area unless we intruded on the neighbors rental. Vrbo communication had no manners, bad english and didn't seem to care about our concerns having the wrong rental. I would stay there again though I would book through Air B&B next time. Thanks Tom for trying to figure this out. We did appreciate your effords.
