Holiday rentals with lake access in Oscoda County

Great location for ice fishing. Listing is accurate, spacious and clean. Will definitely book again and look forward to checking this home out for a summer trip. Host is very responsive, friendly and helpful!

We had such a fun and peaceful weekend at Rob and Carey’s home. It’s perfectly between Houghton and Higgins! Even with a lot of things being closed for the season, we still managed to find some awesome thrifting options and yummy food around us. It was the perfect reset and the home has just about everything you would need and then some. Thank you so much for letting us stay and we hope we’ll be welcomed back in the future! 😊

We had a wonderful stay at this lakeside getaway. Would highly recommend!

Place was great! Beautiful and clean house with plenty of room for everyone. You can’t beat that lake view!

Convenient launching pad for winter adventures. Under 10 minute drive to Treetops which was perfect for our weekend ski trip.

Great house and host!

Debra was wonderful to accommodate our needs to be able to check in and get to our Elk viewing in a timely fashion. House was very clean. The area was beautiful with lots of fresh snow.

Wow. Just wow! What a beautiful home! Our stay was just what we needed and more. It was so cozy, felt like a home away from home, Derek was an awesome host, house was beyond clean, beds were super comfortable, and it had very comfy furniture to relax in. They have done a fantastic job with this oasis on the lake.. I guarantee it will fit anyone’s needs and standards! Highly recommend… go ahead and book it, you won’t regret it! 5 stars without a doubt!

Sarah's place was a dream. My husband and I stayed for my birthday weekend in April 2025 with our toddler and infant. We felt right at home from the moment we walked in. We loved the huge kitchen with space to cook our own Easter meal, decorate eggs, and spread out all of our children's Easter goodies on the large dining table. The kitchen and living area are the best parts of the home -- spacious, clean, and free of clutter. We loved waking up each morning to the lake view along with the accessibility of the grill and hot tub just steps from the kitchen/dining/living area. Sarah was a proactive and welcoming host, and did everything she could to try to make it right when we found the coffeemaker missing (a previous guest had broken it, and it was being replaced). This is a remote location perfect for getting away from the city, but Tawas is a quick 30-40 minute drive away with a cute downtown, pier, and state park. We definitely felt rejuvenated after our stay -- thank you!!!

The cottage was incredibly clean and welcoming. Natalie has truly thought of everything, and the homes was stock well beyond any standard expectation, which made our stay super comfortable. Communication was great from start to finish, making everything easy and stress-free. We had a short midweek visit, but we’re already hoping to come back again to enjoy the firepit and the quick walk to beautiful Higgins Lake. Highly recommend!

The cottage was cute and cozy. Perfect for a weekend getaway. Great location! Sherri was a great host! Thank you for a great stay!

I asked my 9, 8 & 5 year old about the best part of our stay, and they all agreed that the hot tub, fire pit for s’mores and the board games were the best part. I enjoyed having a quiet space to get homework done with a view of the water. This was the perfect get away for a family of 5! We enjoyed staying inside, cooking meals & enjoying the house itself. It is beautiful inside and out, exactly like the photos and had everything we needed for our stay. We can’t wait to come back during the summer time to go out on the lake!

It was a really great place to stay in and a beautiful location. Very clean and great amenities, would recommend to anyone traveling up to Houghton. We will probably reserve again when the time comes. :)

My family, friends, and I enjoyed staying at Tim’s property once again. Tim is easy to reach if needed for anything, and was a great host. The property is well located and beautiful! Walking distance to dine out, or just a few minutes drive to get groceries, while still feeling tucked away. We hope to stay again next summer.

We went up for the fall colors and had a very enjoyable stay. The view of the lake is beautiful during the day. Without light from nearby towns we could see shooting stars at night. The cottage was exactly as described. Cute, well stocked and very clean. Being older it does have some minor quirks, but nothing that took away from our visit. These were also communicated in the description. The home is very dog friendly. The fenced in yard is great. The fact that it's in the front of the yard means it doesn't interfere the lake view or access. The inside also has retractable gates if you wish to restrict your dog access to rooms as well. Kaitlin quickly responded to all of my questions. She also has a very thoughtful and detailed binder for local attractions in the area. There is only a Dollar Store and small food market in town, so you will need to the next town if you need more than convenience items. The pizza at Smokey's Restaurant & Tavern was really good!

We had the best time staying at Renee and Claudia’s, there was an insane snow store and it was difficult to get in the night we arrived. Literally within the hour they had the drive to the cabin plowed and the cabin driveway plowed. It was a peaceful and wonderful week. Will definitely be back next year!! Thank you!!
