Winter Waterfront—Ice Fishing, Trails 5 mi! | Ski Chalet in Houghton Lake
3 Bedroom Ski Chalet in Houghton Lake
Waterfront East Bay retreat on Houghton Lake with a phenomenal sandy beach, private dock & mooring buoy, and glowing true west-facing sunset views from the eastern shore—minutes from the M-55 corridor to dining, shopping, and family fun! This 2023-remodeled home blends up-north warmth with modern comforts, designed for easy, memorable gatherings.
Houghton Lake winter waterfront: fish the ice, ride the trails, ski XC; Hanson Hills 30 mi, Treetops 60, Caberfae Peaks 67—cozy-up in the evenings by the gas fireplace enjoying cups of hot cocoa!
Spend summer carefree days boating, fishing, tubing, and paddling right from the shoreline. Launch a kayak at sunrise across glass-calm water, then wade the sandy entry while the kids build castles. Wind down at the lakeside fire pit, enjoying s’mores, as the sky fades to tangerine, swap stories, and fall asleep to gentle lake sounds!
Inside, enjoy fast Wi-Fi, mini-split A/C, luxury bed & bath linens, and a fully stocked kitchen ready for family feasts. The layout is practical for extended families, with quiet nooks for morning coffee and big, open hangout loft space for game night.
