About this house rental

Get Ready to be “Wowed”.
We invite you, your family, and friends to relax and enjoy our 2,240 Square Foot, 3 Bedroom, 3 Full Bath home situated on the beautiful South Shore of Michigan’s Largest Inland Lake. South Shore Escape is a completely updated home. Spectacular water views welcome you upon arrival.
South Shore Escape will become your home away from home as you relax and unwind. Whether you're spending time in the spacious living area, eating at the rustic dining table, or gathering in the large open kitchen, the unobstructed views of Houghton Lake’s main body go on and on. With 58 feet of private water frontage and a large lawn, you and your family will have all the room you need to enjoy everything Houghton Lake has to offer. We are confident you will also enjoy the spacious Township Park next to our home. Entry and exit from the lake is provided from each of our docks. We have a 50 foot section of dock on our east property line with an additional 30 feet of dock on the west property line. You are welcome to keep your boat tied to our dock or anchored in front of the house throughout your stay. A large DNR boat launch less than 1 1/2 miles from South Shore Escape.
The Main Living area is furnished with comfortable furniture, Smart TV with cable, and an Onkyo surround sound stereo system. A set of sliding doors and large windows fill the room with natural light and beckon you onto the elevated lakefront deck with a propane grill and additional seating.
We are certain you will find our kitchen to be stocked with all the supplies needed to prepare full meals. There are even multiple small appliances (Keurig and Standard Coffee Makers, Crock Pot, Griddle, Blender, Toaster, etc.) available. Ample counter space provides plenty of room for meal prep while counter-top seating creates another space in this spacious home for everyone to gather.
The Primary Bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, walk-in closet, Flat-Screen Television, and direct access to the lakefront deck via its own sliding glass door.
The main floor of our home contains one additional bedroom, a full-size bath, and a utility room with full sized washer and dryer.
The walk-out lower level of the home offers an additional seating area with a Smart TV, gas fireplace, spacious bedroom, the home’s 3rd full bath, and 2 additional custom-built fold down beds.
Many groups have mentioned the quality of our furnishings. We’re confident you’ll appreciate the extra lengths we’ve taken to make our home welcoming and comfortable.
We've enjoyed having families visit our other Houghton Lake home and ask that you reach out to us if you have questions. We know the location of South Shore Escape cannot be beat and are confident you will love our home as much as we do.

Finally, we want to take a moment to summarize our rules so this is a fantastic experience for everyone: No Pets, No Smoking, and No Parties/Conduct that may be deemed offensive. We also require the primary renter to be over the age of 35.
Additionally, our garage and one closet will be locked as they contain our personal items.
We'll close by stressing this is a family home. Please be a good neighbor at all times during your stay.

The place was nice on the lake with beautiful views. The accommodations were not as detailed in the listing. We planned to use the bunk bed in the lower-level bedroom as stated in the listing, but there was no twin bunkbed in the lower-level bedroom or any other place in the house (this should be removed from the listing). This made it rough for sleep accommodations for our family. The docks were great for docking our boats, but Houghton Lakes water level is VERY LOW and swimming at the location is not good due water level and weeds. Glad we had the boats as we were able to find sandbars on the lake to enjoy the water and sun.

This house is gorgeous. It's so well designed and we truly could not believe how clean it was. We had SUCH a great time. Also, to know that there is a $225per day pontoon rental close by is huge! Thank you so much for letting us stay!

What a great place to relax and enjoy! Since it was a winter stay, we enjoyed the cozy interior of this property. It felt more hotel-like with a very high standard of cleanliness and amenities. From linens to seating, we loved how new and well thought out this house was. From the 7 year old to the 74 year old we all had a great escape on the lake! Would highly recommend the house and owner!

Beautiful, updated, clean home that meet all our needs. The baby gates were a blessing and awesome feature. The view is spectacular. Houghton Lake fishing was scarce but kids enjoyed kayaking. The only negative we found was location on main road and next to public access. Host, Calvin was very responsive and prompt responding.

The place was nice and accommodating. The location was okay, not really a quite neighborhood as described. There is a small park next to the house that cars/visitors are constantly coming and going. The house is on a busy main road, so the noise from the street activity can be a little annoying. Also, a very busy bar/restaurant complete with live bands playing all night does not make a quiet neighborhood. We were expecting to be able to jump off the dock into the lake for swimming and such, but not possible. The water was low and the area around the dock is all seaweeds, so no swimming there and the fishing was difficult too. Dang weeds! All in all we had a wonderful family vacation and the house was comfortable.

Our group of 8 girls had a wonderful and relaxing weekend at Calvin and Mary's beautiful lake home. The home was absolutely beautiful. The beds were comfortable. There was ample space for everyone. The view was incredible. And this was the cleanest rental property I have ever stayed at. The home was stocked with everything we needed and more. It was a perfect weekend.

Great owners and beautiful house

Great owners and beautiful house

We had a great stay! The house was beautiful and the owners are very responsive. Loved the large yard and fire pit. The views from the house are wonderful as well. The only two things that didn’t work for my family are the location of the house (on a busy highway) and that the area in front of the house was not suited for swimming. We had four kids on the trip that would’ve loved to go swimming in front of the house, however the amount of weeds was overwhelming and not friendly for swimming. We were also warned by the neighbors of the swimmers itch in the lake and there was a sign at the park next-door to not swim due to high bacteria. Once we were in the house, you could not hear the traffic. However, we like a more tranquil location when staying at the lake. These are just two things that we wished we would have known prior to our stay. Hopefully it can help future renters make a good decision based on their needs.

Our group of 8 had a wonderful time at this vacation rental house. The house was exactly as described, conveniently located and renovated and decorated well. We loved the fire pit, grill and docks at the house, as well as location next to the park—the kids loved the playground and pavilion. We look forward to returning in the future.

I would like to start off by saying how amazing Calvin and Mary are as hosts! Very easy to get ahold of and quick to respond with any issues or questions. The check in process is flawless and when you walk in the home it’s even more gorgeous than photos can show! The view from the living room, deck, walk out basement living room, and every part of the house is breathtaking! While visiting, We enjoyed fishing, swimming, Kayaking, bonfires, visiting local shops and getting ice cream! This home is set in the most perfect location. The first night, we had a few questions and calvin responded within minutes. I can not say enough great things about this home, and we look forward to renting this beautiful property again next year!

Winter Getaway

Winter Getaway

We met family members at this lovely vacation home for a winter getaway. With a mesmerizing view over ice-covered Houghton Lake, this warm and welcoming home ticked all the boxes and provided our group of six with a relaxing get-together. It is about a 25 minute drive from three different cross-country ski areas, a big plus for our group. We plan to return in the future. The host was very responsive and checked in multiple times to make sure we were enjoying our stay. Thank you, Calvin!
