About

The Location

Lose track of time at Michigan's largest inland lake, Houghton Lake. We invite you to come and experience what "lake life" really means.

The Place

Enjoy what the lake has to offer at this adorable lake-access cottage. This is the Mallard Duck Retreats LLC flagship property.

Whether you're spending time boating on the lake, exploring ORV trails, enjoying winter sports, gathering in the kitchen, relaxing on the decks, laughing and libations at the fire pit, or enjoying the views of Houghton Lake, you are sure to have memories that will be shared for years to come.

The Design

The design is simply combination of Boho, Scandinavian & Coastal making it a unique and quirky find in the area. You will find affiliate links throughout the site for many of the products that were used in the design process.

"The Mallard Duck retreat is a quiet, clean, and calming place. It is very near the Lake and close to all the lovely restaurants and bars of the area. The whole place made us feel at ease. Clint & Steph are very nice, easy to talk to and very friendly when they welcomed us. I would definitely come again!"
