Relax and Enjoy in Comfort. 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 our dock. We have a 50 foot section of dock on our east 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, 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. ## Property amenities ### Beach - On the beach - Beach loungers ### Ski - Cross-country skiing nearby - Snowboarding nearby ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Onsite parking options include a garage ### Kitchen - Blender - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Electric kettle - Ice maker - Microwave - Oven - Paper towels - Refrigerator - Spices - Stovetop - Toaster ### Dining - Dining table ### Bedrooms - 3 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 3 bathrooms - Bathtub or shower - Hair dryer - Shower - Soap - Toilet paper - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Dining table - Fireplace - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV with cable/satellite channels - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Fenced yard - Firepit - Garden - Outdoor furniture ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (on request) - Iron/ironing board ### Location highlights - In a village - In the city center - Near a health/beauty spa - Near the marina - On a lake - On the waterfront ### Things to do - Kayak - Basketball nearby - Birdwatching nearby - Cycling nearby - Fishing nearby - Golfing nearby - Hiking/biking trails nearby - Hunting nearby - Ice skating nearby - Jet skiing nearby - Kayaking nearby - Motor boating nearby - Sailing nearby - Snowmobiling nearby - Swimming nearby - Water skiing nearby - Water tubing nearby - Wildlife walks nearby - Windsurfing nearby ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher - Deadbolt lock ### General - Garden - Housekeeping (on request) - Unit size: 2,240 square feet ## Similar properties ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/106000000/105770000/105766100/105766040/dfbf9b1e.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### New Listing!

Aug 20, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location Disliked: Listing accuracy #### Aug 11- Aug 18, 2024 - Houghton Lake Vacation 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. ##### Marie G. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### tina Marie M.

And they were very quick to communicate with us. The house was adequate and clean inside, though the outside areas were not clean before arrival. Maybe nothing can be done about the plethora of bugs near every light source, so we had to leave the outside lights off. The hot water seemed to run out fairly quickly - only one person could shower at a time to maintain adequate heat. Overall, we had a great weekend with the family! ##### Viraj M.

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!
