- "Great place host is awesome. We well be back. " - "My wife, sons, and I stayed here while visiting family in town. It was a great location in a quiet and peaceful neighborhood, and close to the lake/state park, restaurants, ice cream shops, etc. We enjoyed sipping coffee on the the three seasons room in the morning, and the greenhouse room in the backyard in the evenings. This house has all the amenities you could ask for, and the owner was very responsive to any questions that came up during our stay. I highly recommend this cottage!"

- "The cabin was just right for two people. It had two nice bedrooms but only one bathroom with a very small shower. There was no broom with which to sweep the floor and at a lake property, that is important. Some of the electrical outlets (behind the couch) were not secure to the wall. This could be a fire hazard. A shelf in the small bathroom would be very useful for placing glasses or rings, etc when washing up. Otherwise, very, very nice."

- "Our stay was great! The cabin was incredibly clean. I felt like I was at home! My husband and I still comment how clean it was!! It had everything you could possibly need! Darla and Kevin were great hosts! Communication was a 10/10 for sure! We loved the location also! We spent one afternoon at Higgins lake, we went to traverse city a couple days, and the other days we just kinda explored! The 1 and only thing we wish was different was the couch. It seemed pretty old and just was not comfortable enough to be able to sit and watch a movie at night. Other than that everything was perfect!!! I’d definitely recommend staying with Kevin and Darla!!"

This quaint lakefront 2 Br, 1 Bath cottage is located within a family friendly association on the southwest side of beautiful Higgins Lake. The lake is spring fed and clear with a sandy bottom so conditions are excellent for kids (and adults) to play and swim in the water. The cottage is completely furnished, very clean and well maintained.
The two bedrooms each have a queen bed. There is a queen sofa bed in the living room and a double sofa bed in the sunroom. Bed linens are furnished.
The bath has a tub/shower combination. Towels are furnished. Please bring your own beach towels.
The kitchen has an electric stove, refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker and toaster. Dishes and pots and pans are included. There is an ample eating area in the kitchen.
Ceiling fans are in the bedrooms, living room, kitchen and sunroom. There is air conditioner in the living room. There is wifi available. Our association is a smoke free environment. Thanks
This cottage is clean, bright and cheerful thanks to the many (new) windows.
- "Very enjoyable stay with great hospitality!" - "The cottage is so design so cute and you can see the lake from the front window of the sun porch. Such a beautiful little get a way." - "We have stayed at this little cottage 3 times over the last 7 summers and we always have a great time. Our mom actually stayed here as a kid before my grandparents built their house which is still right down the road. The host is always available and communicative and the residents in the area always make us feel welcome. You can’t find a better location and the price is just right. The only complaint we’ve had is that it gets too hot in the west side of the cottage in the afternoon and evening. They have added a portable a/c which helps. Otherwise, it is always a great stay."

Exquisite old cottage, modern fit-up, no cooking, views! Private dock, deck, and waterfront for this cottage.
Please note: participation in the dining plan, not included in rent, is REQUIRED until the last Sunday in August. We can't waive the required Dining Hall fees in season, so don't please don't try to book a stay and then request an exception. Instead, book in early June or late August or September.
The Cottage:
This beautiful, old, renovated, stick-style cottage is at the end of a long, private driveway off a one-lane, private dirt-road winding through old-growth forest with monarch trees. There's nothing but woods and private paths behind it. It overlooks clear and sandy Higgins Lake, previously rated 'the Sixth Most Beautiful Lake in the World'. Google aerialgraphics tenbest list to see photos; it's illuminating.
The cottage's 82 feet of lake-frontage includes a private dock and lido on the lake, down some stairs from an overlooking private deck, steps away from the large front-porch. The cottage's deck, dock, lido, side-yard, and lakefront are not shared with anyone but you and your guests while you're staying here.
Life on the Lake:
The cottage is part of a private Association of twenty cottages, each with its own dock, so waterfront features are NOT shared. The Association provides meals at a private table, reserved for your family, in a common Dining Hall --a five-minute walk through the woods. It's perfect for families, as all cooking [except Weds. dinners] and clean-up is provided from late June to late August, so staying here is a true vacation for everyone in the family. [Note: This is a separate bill, paid directly to the Dining Hall after your stay [not included rent]. Rates are ~$37/day for adults, less for kids under 13, and free under 5. There are NO exceptions in-season, so consider booking out of season if you are not interested in the Dining Hall.
The lake is clear and, on this side, shallow with great water for swimming, kayaking, sailing and all water sports. Features of Higgins Lake include an island, drop-offs, springs and sunken islands. Not far around the shore is B & B marina, where you can rent motorboats, tubes, kayaks, and all sorts of water toys.
Life in the Cottage:
The cottage features a beautiful, two-story Living Room [the heart of the cottage] with a lakestone-lined fireplace and large Screen Porch, both facing the lake.
The view is even better from a large, two-level Private Deck right over the lake on a bluff, a few steps from the Screen Porch. A stairway down from the deck leads to a private sunbathing area [the Lido] and a private dock, exclusive to this cottage, where you can swim and relax.
A private yard next to the cottage has a many Adirondack chairs and a pad for the outdoor ping-pong table.
An updated kitchen with granite counters, dishes, coffee-equipment, kitchen-tools, and appliances including a dishwasher is open to one side of the Living Room. However, you won't cook much, as you'll enjoy the great food in the Dining Hall [from June through August].
Three Bedrooms are on the first floor: [1] a Master Suite with king-size bed and a private Bath with shower and two sinks in granite counters; [2] a back Bedroom with two queen beds and a sink [can sleep four in a pinch]; and [3] a small Bedroom with a queen bed and a separate entrance to the Porch. A second Bathroom with a claw-foot tub, a shower and two sinks in granite is off the first floor hall, as is a laundry closet with a new washer and dryer.
The second floor is reached from an indoor balcony overlooking the Living Room [and the lake] leading to a knotty-pine Bunk Room with four built-in bunks, which appeal to smaller teenagers and kids [but are short for all but the smallest adults]. The Bunk Room has its own half-bath.
This cottage does not have a TV or a land-line phone. Free, password-protected WIFI is provided. Many guests bring laptops, and some use them to stream their favorite shows and teams.
More to do Outside:
The cottage Association has a tennis court you can use for free and extensive bird-watching and single-track walking trails, which you can explore.
Nearby activities off the lake include fishing, canoeing and tubing on the calm and beautiful Au Sable River and golf at Forest Dunes. Guided bird-watching tours leave regularly from Grayling and almost always spot the very rare Kirtland's Warbler, rarely seen [except by those in the know, in this part of Michigan].
Google an aerial photograph to see Higgins Lake in its splendor. The cottage is on the north shore, the least developed and most secluded part of the lake.
Unfortunately, we do not allow pets. We all have dogs and cats in our families, [including small, well-behaved, clean ones] so we understand it's hard to leave them behind. Please don't make a reservation and then ask us to make an exception for your pets.
- "The property is incredible, the dining is first class and the lake activities and the views it provides always exceed expectations. Finally, the hosts, including the entirety of property patrons are warm and welcoming." - "Once again, our stay was amazing in every way. The people, hosts, overall atmosphere, outstanding food, gorgeous lake and the property itself all made our week long stay a memorable and special experience. A magical place, indeed. Thank you for sharing it with us. See you in 2023!"

- "Everything was as advertised. Booked both cabins so had the whole place to ourselves. Very clean, and really nicely decorated so you didn't really feel like you were in a hundred year old cabin. Had all the basic amenities in the kitchen you would need, and plenty of towels. The lake is just a short walk away, spent a lot of time down by the beach having a cocktail or two. The boat mooring was very close and the dock was plenty long enough to load all the people and gear on. Spent every night around the fire, kinda felt like camping!! Hosts were very accessible.

- "The house has many fun and charming details. We all enjoyed getting to know the house over the weekend. The owners leave a lot of helpful things around for your use like games, firewood, pokers, matches, spices, paper plates (no dw). There are some quirky things about the property; we were so charmed by it that there wasn't a complaint among us when we had to use extension cords for this or that. No laundry. We loved the huge sandbar area. Felt very special. Loved the two kayaks. Overall we all agreed it was far from the fanciest of rentals we've experienced but one of our all time favorites. We'd love to return."

Living room furniture and beds are all very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked, and all of the appliances work perfectly. Very close to Higgins Lake. Thank you for a wonderful time and we plan to return!" - "Kids stayed in loft. Spouse and I in master.

- "The property was great! Just as described (or maybe even better) than described in the listing. We cooked most meals at the house and had plenty of kitchenware and space to eat. Owner was fantastic and answered my questions promptly when we arrived. We had family staying in the house next to us and loved the large yard area, fire pit, tetherball and horshoe pits between the the houses. We rented the owner's son's boat for the week which was very affordable and he came and took us on a short ride explaining all the ins and outs of the boat and the lake itself which was very helpful. Dock and small beach area were used a ton on the nice days. Even though the weather wasn't exactly what was predicted it was so comfy and cozy at the house, we didn't mind to spend some time inside. Beds were also very comfy! I would definitely recommend this property to others."

The cottage was clean, well furnished with necessities and all the comforts of home and stocked with things to relax with. Games, book, puzzles, bonfire pit, we loved every minute. Short walk or bike ride to Sam o Set park, kids rode their bikes there (with us) and played on playground, swam, caught minnows. We even got to catch a sun set or two. We truly enjoyed our week together as a family here and would book again."

We were close to everything. Boating on Higgins lake was very beautiful. Great location with plenty of room for the 6 of us." - "My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location is great and we rented stand-up paddle boards and kayaks at The Store at South Higgins Lake state park which is only a couple miles away. The screened porch was spacious and a lovely space for morning coffee and family dinners. The home had all the essentials including bath and beach towels. We took our tubes for a float and had fresh donuts at a cute café just a short walk down the road. The fire pit hosted s'mores making and faced a wooded area. Higgins Lake is beautiful and perfect for a pontoon or speedboat (we rented a speedboat during our stay)."
