Houghton Lake is a hub to enjoy northern Michigan’s rich natural beauty via a holiday in its popular vacation rentals. It lies in Roscommon County in Michigan’s north-central Lower Peninsula and is Michigan’s largest inland lake famous for ice fishing and various water sports and outdoor recreations.
This small town is on the southern shore of Houghton Lake and is blessed with cabin houses, chalets and plentiful vacation rentals to enjoy a perfect lakeside retreat. Boating and swimming apart, the lake is a haven for fishing walleye and pike and is quite popular for ice-fishing over its expansive surface in the winters. You could also hunt deer in the open season of November or play golf at the spectacular 18-hole Pine View Highlands Golf Course. Besides, Higgins Lake - one of the most beautiful lakes in the world - is real close and is flanked by state parks to enjoy a day in picnicking. Even the central town of Gladwin makes for an interesting day trip down south for shopping its Amish quilts and crafts or for practicing putt at its many golf courses.
Canoe or jet-ski the lake waters or enjoy a relaxing picnic reveling the lake view; hike on trails in the surrounding lush woods, shop and dine in the village or partake in the Tip Up Town USA annual fishing festival. A holiday in Houghton Lake vacation rentals will leave no stone unturned for enjoying northern Michigan to the maximum.
