Kid-friendly vacation rentals in Houghton Lake

I would one hundred percent visit again! And will this summer! Love the wild life and clear water. House was fully equipped with any thing you may need or may have forgotten at home. Beds were amazing! Comfy quiet place to watch birds beavers and water life, or curl up on the sofa with a blanket. Host has made sure to make things easy also including lots outdoor things to do

Great property and friendly community! We utilized the grill and lots of outdoor yard games. The host was responsive and helpful the entire stay!

Very good home on the lake. Location away from the main highway of Houghton Lake so very quite. Would definitely stay again.

We had a very short stay here but it was great! The cabin was very clean and peaceful. Would definitely stay here again if we are in the area!

Josh is a awesome host and was very responsive during our stay. The home was awesome and highly recommend!!

The copper door lodge was amazing. we stayed for 2 nights and we fell in love with the layout. There was alot of things to do the moment u walked in. They had so many games to play and enjoy. the cabin was bigger than what the photos showed. and the host was really responsive and always making sure everything was alright. they made us feel at home and they made sure nothing was missing They thought of everything. I would totally recommend this place.

Nancy and mark were very friendly and responsive. The house has everything you would need for a visit. Definitely will be staying here again in the future!

This was our second stay with Terry & we will definitely be back! He always goes above & beyond to make sure we have everything we need & is very communicative. Can’t recommend enough!

We really enjoyed staying at Fawn’s place!! This was a top tier place! She thought of everything and provided so many extras like snacks, an assortment of drinks and even chocolates on the pillows. The decor was very well done and it was so clean and comfortable. It was a great spot to stay as we explored some of north Michigan. We slept well and the surroundings were very peaceful and quiet. We would stay here again without any hesitation. Fawn was quick to answer questions and help in any way. We enjoyed staying here very much!!

Juli Lynne's place is very comfortable, very livable, very clean, and right next to a wonderful county park where you can take a nice walk. Juli Lynne was very nice, very communicative and made sure we were satisfied with everything, and we were. It was a great place for a weekend getaway!

An absolutely beautiful space and amazing hosts. I had the perfect stay with Monica and Gary, they were so friendly and helpful. The apartment is the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in by far, the view from the balcony is beautiful and the lake access is beautiful with a large sandy beach. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit lake city. Also, very comfy beds and a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend.

This was a great stay! It’s close to downtown without being downtown. It was nice to be closer to nature with the ease of the city being a short commute. The place was exactly like the pictures and the host is very responsive.

Christine's place was amazing, she was very helpful. Had a sweet dog to greet us when we got there and made homemade donuts for us. Place is even bigger than advertised. Wifi worked great, everything was clean and homey. Would definitely stay there again.

We had a wonderful, peaceful stay at Daphne & Will's gorgeous home. To say they went above and beyond would be an understatement – their space was filled with tasteful decorations, thoughtful touches, and high-quality finishes and furnishings. There was no way we could use every amenity available on a short 3-day stay, but that's all the more reason to come back and enjoy the space again sometime in the future. We particularly enjoyed the fireplace, view of the trees and lake, and comfy sofa – perfect for a relaxing trip. Will and Daphne struck the perfect balance of responsiveness, giving space, and friendliness. Airbnb perfection.

We were thrilled to find a last minute cancellation at this hidden gem for our labor day weekend trip! Kathy's directions were very thorough. The best part was that she included the use of all of her water toys in the rental - there were two stand-up paddle boards, numerous kayaks and a big rectangular floating pad that the kids loved. The biggest island in the center of Spider Lake is a very doable paddle from there. This property faces north on the lake which is the perfect vantage point to see the Aurora Borealis if the conditions are right, which they were for our time! This has been on my bucket list, so I am beyond thrilled! The stars are amazing too! We all felt comfortable inside and my husband said he had one of the best sleeps he's had in a long time. The kids loved the loft beds. We just wish that the spiders of Spider Lake weren't so abundant on the docks, so our arachnophobic girls could relax more, but there's not much that could have been done about them.

Very comfortable & peaceful stay!

Great place to stay. Beautiful setting. Nice place. Plenty of room.

The hosts were very accommodating and responded quickly. The place is huge, comfortable and spacious. Our family loved it and we hope to return in the future.

Doug was a wonderful host and very quick to respond and deliver if we needed anything at all. Stayed here with my wife and baby girl to be closer to the job in Hemlock. This location is in a peaceful, just outside downtown neighborhood. The entire city of Midland was very pleasant to be in ; everyone here was very friendly and just so much different from the Detroit Metro area. You definitely feel safe here. Being so close to downtown , there were plenty of restaurants, parks, and stores that are less than a 5 minute drive away. Will definitely be coming back in the future. Thanks again Doug!

Great place! We loved the lake and the lake views. I also loved that there was a beach and pontoon boat rentals were on-site!

5/5! The lake and cabin location was beautiful and well kept. The studio was clean and spacious and the bed was chefs kisses. I slept like a rock! The host was also great, timely responses and super friendly. I wasn’t made to feel like a burden if I had questions. I made a great choice by staying with Luke for my first trip to Michigan and would definitely do a repeat trip!

The condo was a home away from home.

great stay! the connected party store was super convenient. very peaceful downtown with a few restaurants in walking distance. close driving distance to bigger cities as well

the location was beautiful and looked just as pictured. it had all the amenities described and was lovely to have blackout curtains and some nightlights already in the place! we were there for a family wedding and it was a perfect homebase and our kids loved the pool (it was actually warm!). would stay again :)
