Comments
The Lakeside Resort Hotel & Conference Center was built in 2003. It is well-constructed and greatly benefits from its waterfront location. The hotel has an established base of business; however, it could generate more room revenue by affiliating with a franchise brand. The only franchise represented in the immediate area is Super 8 by Wyndham Hotels.
Attractions
Houghton Lake is Michigan’s largest inland lake and resort area. Its sparkling water covers 22,000 acres and borders 32 miles of shoreline. The lake is 10 miles long and 6 miles wide. Summer brings boaters and water skiers, and winter attracts snowmobilers, snowshoers, and ice-skaters, but fishing knows no season. Ice fishing for bluegill, crappie and walleye is popular. The annual Tip-UP Town USA winter festival held at the end of January on Houghton Lake draws 50,000+ attendees each weekend.
