Houghton Lake: Where Families and Friends Come Together...

East Bay, in the heart of Michigan, will put the heart in your next family lakeside vacation. East Bay Lakefront Lodge is a historic and cozy lakeside getaway on Houghton Lake, Michigan’s largest inland body of water! When it was built in 1925, it was the only family resort on the lake. That same focus has held. With 27 private bedrooms encircling the Great Room, East Bay creates an atmosphere of true hospitality. Organized games for the kids, a private beach for relaxation or lakeside fishing and the Great Room with a stone fireplace, games, puzzles, books and even local restaurant menus. Painted red and surrounded by tall pines, this unique lodge suits the needs of every individual!

Beach

East Bay Lakefront Lodge's beach has campfire spots, picnic tables, grills and white sand. Whether your beach vacation is spent reading a book by the water, wading in the waves or building a sandcastle, Michigan's Houghton Lake has beachside entertainment for every family or group vacation.

Family

There are 27 rooms that open up to a room with a fireplace, books, games and television. It's your family's living room, but bigger! With the option for privacy or family gatherings in the Great Room, East Bay Lakefront Lodge accommodates all families. Kids activities are organized as well!

Fishing

With Houghton Lake - Michigan’s largest inland body of water - steps away from your room, there’s no good excuse not to cast your lure. Rent a boat and enjoy the serene solitude of the lake’s waves. Once you’ve made your big catch, bring it back to the Lodge and throw it on the beachside grill!

Hunting

The isolated quiet is ideal if you are waiting to make that hunter’s pounce. Away from noise and distractions in lower northern Michigan, the Houghton Lake area is your prime hunting destination for grouse, woodcock, deer and much more. Spend a day out in the wild, but come back to a cozy fire!

Lake

When you stay at East Bay Lakefront Lodge, visiting Houghton Lake is a must. Take a few steps and choose your way to explore, either by paddleboat, motorboat, or pontoon. Watch the kids splash in the waves. Enjoy a view of the lake lined with pine trees from the beach or your own bedroom window.
