This charming 2-bedroom cottage offers 850 sq ft of classic Up North character, with warm knotty pine throughout that gives the whole home a cozy, cabin-in-the-woods feel. The cheerful breakfast nook is the perfect spot for morning coffee before heading out on the water, and the second bedroom is set up with multiple bunk beds, ideal for kids, guests, or extra weekend company. With a deck on both the front and back, you'll have plenty of space for grilling, entertaining friends, or simply relaxing after a day on Michigan's largest inland lake. Location couldn't be better. You're just a short walk to the DNR public launch for easy lake access, plus RJ's Market for supplies and the Nottingham Bar for a bite and a drink with friends. This home is truly turnkey and comes fully furnished. Just bring your fishing pole, your boat, and your weekend plans. Whether you're looking for a family getaway, a year-round residence, or a rental investment, this Houghton Lake cottage is ready to welcome you home. This home previously was a successful Airbnb but please do your own due diligence with the county about current and upcoming regulation changes.
