Cabin holiday rentals in Houghton Lake

Amazing location right on the river with beautiful views and excellent fishing. Incredibly relaxing! Highly recommend and would definitely return.

Excellent stay at this Airbnb. If you are thinking of coming to St Helen to ride the ORV trails, this is an excellent choice! It’s right down the street from St Helen Motorsports, two gas stations, 3 restaurants, 2 pizza shops and multiple trail head entrances within 2 miles or less!!! The house looks exactly like the pictures and description, and the hot tub, outdoor fire pit, and indoor fireplace were amazing! I will note….it is a bit on the small side. Beds are as described, but feet hang off the bed and rooms are small. 4 grown adults was pushing it here, especially with one bathroom. Also note. There is BARELY enough room for a small truck and trailer to park in front. The other truck had to park underneath the large garage due to no park space. Other than that, which is really just an explanation, it is the ultimate st Helen stop!

My husband spent two nights at this wonderful cabin and so enjoyed our time there! We ate at the boat house for lunch one day and walked the Wolf Creek Trailhead another, but other than that we enjoyed being at the cabin! The backyard was incredibly serene! We read and talked for hours around the bonfire until dark and then hit the hot tub both nights! What a wonderful space to get away and reconnect as a couple! I would absolutely suggest it as a couples get away! ❤️

We really enjoyed staying here for a five year anniversary getaway and relaxation. Our pup got her zoomies out and even explored by the River! We would definitely book again! Both Frank and Kaylee were responsive if we had any questions and great hosts!

A wonderful place!! Beautiful and peaceful! We had 8 people and it fit everyone comfortably! Plenty of space for kiddos to run around and play. Perfect for a weekend getaway, highly recommend!

Me, my wife and dog had the most relaxing couple of day stay. The lake was geogeous, the cabin was cozy, was just what we wanted

We truly enjoyed staying at the Funky Frog, the space was perfect for our needs with our two dogs, backyard, fire pit with wood, the beach was right down the road and we were easily able to take our dogs out for long walks which they loved.

We had a great weekend getaway at Jake’s place. Jake was a great host (very responsive and flexible). The home was filled with character and the location was excellent. Highly recommend!

Our family loved the time we had at Todd’s cabin, it was exactly what we needed. The cabin is in a very peaceful, quiet setting. The beds were very comfortable, both adults and kids loved the jukebox and games, and being able to have a kitchen that was equipped with all the pots/utensils/things we needed was huge. It made cooking at the cabin for ourselves a breeze. Todd was a great communicator and we had no issues during our stay at all. Thanks again so much!

Great Cute Place! The bed was comfortable. Love the garage space (man cave)! Town super close.

Beautiful location, secluded in woods. Great spot to go out a warbler tour.

This is my second stay, but certainly not my last! Cozy and clean, with all the thoughtful touches! Love sitting on the couch in the morning with a cup of coffee and looking out at the woods behind the cabin. Sunday morning we had a porcupine visit. Nothing threatening, just passing through. Rick is always very responsive, and the cabin is spotlessly clean! Close to Roscommon for South Branch AuSable canoeing/kayaking and also close to Grayling for AuSable Main Branch access. For pit is a treat. Quiet and peaceful retreat and located centrally for river access!

Our 3rd stay at the cabin! We love it so much, we will always stay there! Favorite places- Kiss Me Coffee, Trestle Park, Garrett's for breakfast- the Pour House had great dinner selections and huge portions!

Really loved this place! The view of the river from the deck was great, also a great view from inside. Well stocked with everything I needed. Hope to return someday!

it was a great cabin we had to leave early do to my husband brian injury but stay was great while we were there

We spent most of our time at South Higgins State Park for a Family Reunion during the afternoons. Mornings were awesome with the peaceful woodsy scenery. We spent the later evenings chillin at RACHAEL'S relaxing and watching a movie. The decking and Firepit were such great features! We would defiantly stay again. Warmest Regards, Cathy & Mark

This was our second stay at Cathy's Cabin. As always the cabin was clean and welcoming, just put the cooler contents in the fridge and begin enjoying the stay. I enjoy this lake. It reminds me very much of my grandparents lake cottage. Late May is still cool weather in Michigan and Cathy's brother made a special effort to get the pontoon boat ready for us. We enjoyed being out on the water and trying our hands at fishing. I caught a northern pike at the north end of the lake, Khi caught some small walleye right off the dock. For guests in the warmer weather there is every kind of summertime toys imaginable in the shed, kayaks etc... We would definitely look forward to returning to Cathy's Cabin again.

We loved our stay at Tami’s. It’s a great location to see the sun rise over Higgins Lake and beautiful orange skies to the west for sunsets. Neighborhood was great for taking a walk. Walking distance to the Silver Dollar Restaurant, one of my favorite places. It felt like home.

This is my second time staying here and everything was excellent as the first time. Rebecca and Steven were very helpful and friendly. Their cabin and property is fantastic, I love staying here.

Really enjoyed staying at Aric's place in the woods. Plenty of privacy. The back deck with a built in fireplace was a nice touch. We would stay there again.

If you are looking for a place to unwind and truly enjoy all that nature has to offer, this is the place for you. Kimberly was an amazing host. She was quick to respond to any questions we had. We loved seeing the farm animals. We saw so many different birds and tons of hummingbirds while sitting on the back porch. I needed a mental recharge and this trip was exactly what I needed! We will definitely be back!

Dane was a wonderful host and very accommodating for my long-term stay. Whenever a question, arose Dane was quick to respond and even came out to assist if needed. Dane's place is warm, cozy, and very peaceful. Looking forward to returning if ever in the St. Helen area in the future!

Jennie and Rob's place was just as advertised. The home was very clean upon arrival and had a great cozy vibe to it. The beach area was a perfect spot to get some sun right by the water. The neighborhood was quiet so if you are looking for a peaceful spot, this is a great place!

Had a wonderful 3 days at Richard's with my wife and 3-year-old son. Cabin was cozy and very peaceful during our stay. Caught 40+ fish from the shore over three days including many keeper blue gill, crappy, and bass (one 24" bass). Cabin had everything we needed for the stay. We would definitely stay again!
