Vacation rentals with beach access in Houghton Lake

Great place

Not too big, not too small. Lindsay's place was everything we needed and nothing we didn't. We felt cozy and at home, perfect for resting between busy days. The beach is quite a walk but the hand drawn maps help to find the way!

A real "Gem" as the name says. We had a very nice time and the host and hostess went above and beyond to make us feel right at home. From check-in to the hugs at check-out, Monica made our stay very enjoyable. We would highly recommend staying at Grem's Gems cottage. We were sad to leave, felt like we were leaving our own family.

We had a great time staying at Juli and Corky’s place! Everything was so nice and the amenities were well thought out and very thoughtful! And Juli was great to talk to and super helpful and very pleasant. If I’m up here again I will definitely check availability of their homes!

Love, love, LOVE this little apartment! It was so homey and cute. Handicap accessible, which is a must for us on this trip. My SIL could easily navigate her mechanical chair through the area as it was so open. The beds ended up being too high to move my SIL in and out of, but the pull out couch was perfect height. All the beds were so comfortable- we all commented on how it was the best sleep we’ve all had in a while. Stacey was super awesome to work with and quickly responded to messages. Easy check in process. And, we could walk to the softball tournament. The only bummer is that we didn’t have enough time to walk to the art fair next door. We walked to the park, walked to get ice cream & Starbucks- great location! Strict 10pm “quiet time” was a non-issue: we were so tired every night, we went straight to bed. Great stay in Traverse City. Thank you, Stacey and Roy!

Great spot close to great breweries and restaurants. Easy check in and parking. Loved the balcony in the evenings.

I had a great stay! Riley and their team was attentive kind and professional!

We had a great time staying at Erin’s place. A great condo with plenty of space and the provided amenities (soaps, laundry, linens, kitchen supplies, etc) went above and beyond. Erin was very responsive when needed but also stayed out of our hair which was nice. This was one of the best Airbnb experiences we have had and would highly recommend this condo to anyone coming up to TC!

We have stayed at Tom’s place a few times now. He is a very responsive and accommodating host that has a place that is exactly as described. This place is great for staying in the woods with perfect accommodations. There is also a bar/restaurant down the street that is a fun place to go. Tom even recommended the excellent pizza at the Sunoco, demonstrating his knowledge of the area. We are definitely going back as it is totally worth the experience. We use it to atv ride at the Leota trails, and thus allows us to park and ride the whole time. It’s great. Thanks again Tom!

Host was super quick to responds and sent a ton of info of things to do in the area. A very nice, peaceful time on the lake.

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

Had a great time at this place! It was in a great spot, and the home was as beautiful as advertised.

We had an amazing time here! The lakefront is absolutely beautiful and we enjoyed the water and the home very much. The house was equipped with absolutely everything we needed and more. Rachel responded to any messages within 10 minutes. Would absolutely stay here again and definitely recommend!

We had a great time at the chalet on our trip to cross-country ski in the area. Great location and quiet. Appreciated the treats (hot cocoa and s’mores). Kids loved the upstairs. Super comfy beds and nice open layout. Snowed quite a bit before and during our stay- excellent ski conditions and we enjoyed exploring the many xc ski areas within 7-25 min drive (XC Ski Headquarters, Forbush Corner, Hanson Hills, Hartwick Pines). Best lunch was at The Stone Turtle Cafe at XC Ski Headquarters.

We had a great weekend spending it at the Captains Quarters! Host is very responsive and helpful to our call when needed. There isn't any AC so needing to keep the windows open at night was hard because we didn't want to be loud for the other cottages. Overall our experience was great and would come back to stay again.

We loved everything about it! Fran was a wonderful host!! Very very happy and would love to stay again!

The condo was perfect for us! It’s in a great location, clean and comfortable! John was very helpful with restaurant recommendations and a super friendly host! We’d definitely stay here again- thank you so much!

We loved everything about this stay! The condo was very clean, well cared for, spacious, and had everything we needed. The location is so quiet and peaceful. We will definitely stay here again if we come back to Traverse!

Beach Bliss was a perfect get away with gorgeous views! The unit was very clean and inviting. Dandan was very attentive with any questions we may have had. I would highly recommend her place.

Great place! Loved the kid toys and beach chairs. Lots of little extras made this an amazing stay

Beautiful accommodations. K.C. was a fantastic host and went above and beyond to accommodate us and made sure that we had a wonderful stay. Everything was perfect and we will definitely be back and recommend to our friends and family.

We loved our stay! The listing was exceptionally clean and amenities were as described. We enjoyed the location and having a coffee shop and (delicious) burger joint in walkable distance was a great bonus! The view of the beach and water right off the private balcony was wonderful and having a heated pool/hot tub combo right on property made this an ideal booking for our family. We’d come back and would recommend to others!

This was our first time to Traverse City and we lucked up finding this condo on the beach/water! It was decorated so cute with modern/clean touches. Very easy to enter/leave with press-lock. The bed is SO comfortable. We were very appreciative of the 'Welcome' book with recommendations of things to do/places to see around Traverse. Would definitely book here again!

We had an amazing stay! The Airbnb was very modern & clean. We enjoyed the hot tubs on the rooftops. Very centrally located to downtown & wineries. We’d stay here every time visiting TC! Thanks again!!
