Photos and Description of the Houghton Lake vacation cabin rental
Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Convertible Bed(s), 1 Bath (Sleeps 4-6)

We're located on the west shore of the north bay on Houghton Lake and we're open year around. Come view the awesome sunrises, or bring your ORV and ride the trails! Fishing is fantastic all year, and we have a wonderful sandy beach area for swimming and a long dock for boats.

The Houghton Lake area has 200 miles of well maintained ORV and snowmobile trails. And we have lots of parking for your trucks and trailers!

Houghton Lake is known for its fishing! The lake has walleye, perch, bass, northern pike, and pan fish. The ice fishing is tops! We'll keep a cozy place here for you during TIP-UP TOWN!

We have nine 2-bedroom log cabins that will sleep a maximum of 6. There are two full size beds and a pull-out in the cabins. Each cabin has a fully furnished kitchen which includes a microwave, toaster, and coffee maker. Cable TV in every cabin and free WiFi is available on the property.

We have a sauna, shuffleboard court, full size swing set, and two large community fire pits on the property.

About Nancy Page

My name is Nancy Page. I am the owner of Wakaigan Shores Resort and I operate the property with my husband Jim, our son Garrett, and our daughter Skylar. It has always been our dream to live in northern Michigan and to own a business. We absolutely love operating this resort! We have met many wonderful people and made many friends. We live on the property and enjoy getting to know our guests!

Nancy Page purchased this cabin in 2012
Why Nancy Page chose Houghton Lake

Houghton Lake truly offers all the wonderful activities you expect of a Michigan inland lake. Additionally it is ideally located in the 'middle of the mitten' with easy access to all the wonderful things that bring people to northern Michigan. Day trips to attractions like Mackinaw Island, Sleeping Bear Dunes, and Traverse City are all accessible from this ideal location.

When we saw Wakaigan Shores Resort we immediately fell in love. We have a beautiful lakefront piece of property located on the west side of the north bay which provides us with the calmest water on the lake. Our large property is well laid out to allow all our visitors plenty of room to enjoy outdoor activities.

The community of Houghton Lake is wonderful. It offers major chain shopping, some great restaurants and bars, a unique movie theater that shows first run movies, great golfing, canoeing, go-karting, and miniature golf.

Houghton Lake is a four seasons destination. Fall brings travelers looking for the spectacular foliage colors. The hunting is great for deer, bear, duck, and small game. Ice fishing is well known on Houghton Lake and culminates in the largest winter festival in Michigan; Tip-Up Town. There are over 200 miles of ORV and Snowmobile trails to enjoy just minutes from our property. Spring brings Turkey hunting and more fishing!

What makes this cabin unique

Wakaigan Shores has the charm and feel of the vacations your parents took you on when you were a child. Our large property offers plenty activities for the whole family! Enjoy your morning coffee on one of our bench swings looking out at the amazing sunrise. Shuffleboard and Ladder Ball are lots of fun! Despite the eastern view, we enjoy beautiful sunsets as the evening sun lights up Long Point across the bay. Evening brings families together around our two community fire pits to enjoy the spectacular night skies of northern Michigan.

Great Week of RELAXATION !!!!

5 of 5
Submitted: April 30, 2013 Stayed: July 2012
This review is long overdue.... My family and I stayed the holiday week at Wakaigon. It was very relaxful! Nothing like getting up in the morning and having a cup of coffee as you gaze by the lake. My sons enjoyed fishing, swimming, tubing, and throwing the football around in the water. There was a charcoal grill provided, so it made having hamburgers and hotdogs easy for the 4th. The area has some nice restaurants nearby, which is nice for getting away and not having to prepare all the meals. The cabin was fully stocked with all kitchen appliances, glassware, etc. It was clean and in great shape. This is a great spot to bring the family! We decided to go ahead and book for 2013!

clean cabins and grounds, sandy beach with waist high water for 120 ft out for kids, huge play area

5 of 5
Submitted: February 27, 2013 Stayed: June 2012
Nice clean cabins with all the dishes/appliances you need. Beach is fantastic. My son could go out 120 ft. and still only be waist deep in water, so I didn't have to worry about him. Came with a group and there was plenty of seating and huge green area besides the beach to play. They provided a row boat and canoe, shuffle board, disc golf, ladder golf and other things for us to entertain ourselves when we weren't in the water. We brought our bikes and were able to ride from the west shore resort to Dead Stream Damn to fish and jump off the damn and swim. The wi-fi, cable & free firewood were a great surprises.
