Houghton Lake Chalet

This property was perfect for our family. We had six adults and three littles (ages 5, 2, and 1). The kids had so much fun. The beach area was perfect. The swimming area was clean with a very nice sandy bottom. The accommodations were just what we needed. Can’t wait to come back.
