True Houghton Lakefront | Double Lot & Dock | House in Prudenville
4 Bedroom House in Prudenville
Wake to glassy Houghton Lake sunrises and toast sunsets from the southern shore on a roomy double lot that’s made for families. Swim right off the dock, launch the kayaks at sunrise, and let the kids run in the big yard—this semi-private stretch of shoreline gives you space to actually unwind. Designed for large families and extended stays, we host up to 8 guests, with beds for up to 14 for flexible sleeping options. Four bedrooms and two full baths give everyone room to spread out. It’s perfect for families with kids who want easy lake swimming, room to roam, and a laid-back, semi-private spot that still keeps you close to Houghton Lake essentials!
Lake life, done right
Launch from your private dock, secure your boat to the mooring buoy (required; no tying to the dock), or slip out on the two kayaks for a sunrise paddle. Evenings mean s’mores around the lakeside fire pit and a big-sky star show! There’s ample parking for vehicles, trailers, and toys—bring the boat, snowmobiles, or ORVs and make the most of your lake time.
Cook, gather, unwind
A chef-ready kitchen (full cookware, bakeware, prep tools) plus coffee, and basic oils & spices makes meal easy. The open living/dining area lets the kids play while dinner simmers. Quality bed linens, fluffy bath towels, and a pack ’n play for little travelers make it simple to settle in. Fire up the propane Blackstone grill for outdoor cooking, then grill out on the deck and serve sunset dinners just steps from the lake! Adirondack chairs, towels, and s’mores sticks are stocked for lakeside lounging.
Four seasons of fun
In summer, spend your days boating, tubing, swimming off the dock, and exploring nearby trails and ORV/snowmobile routes. When the lake freezes, you’re in a prime spot for Houghton Lake’s winter fun: Tip-Up Town USA is just ~6 minutes (3 miles) away, with easy access to the DNR launch, ice fishing, and nearby trails. Spend the day on the ice or snow, then come back to warm drinks and movies while the snow falls outside.
