Will be staying again soon" - "dragonfly cottage is a great stay all around! It’s so so close to Higgins state park, ice cream, pizza, a pub, and a dollar general. I expect to see spiders and some grubbiness when it comes to cottage-like properties, but it was spotless and bug-less! My only suggestion to parents traveling with young ones would be to bring a gate for the stairs. The pack’n play and booster at the table were both so convenient and well-kept. We would not hesitate to stay again."

Higgins Lake was recently voted MSN Real Estate's Top 10 Locations for Boat Owners!
Enjoy this cozy cottage, just a short one mile drive to crystal clear Higgins Lake boat launch.
Our cozy cottage is nestled in a lush, green forest setting, and is one mile from the sixth most beautiful lake in the world, Higgins Lake and just a few miles north of the largest inland lake in Michigan, Houghton Lake. We have local trails to explore for snowmobiles, quads, dirt bikes, ATV's and side by sides just around the corner. Only 4 miles from the 6/7 trail head at the US-127 exit 201 that you can ride to from the driveway. We have a front deck with a gas grill and furniture out back to help you relax and soak up the summer sun! There's a large outdoor table with chairs as well as a picnic table. We have a large double lot with wooded lots on both sides (no close neighbors!) that provide a peaceful private up north setting along with a stone bonfire pit out back for roasting s'mores under the stars. For those rainy days enjoy a game of cards under the cathedral ceiling covered porch out back with a ceiling fan and dimmable LED lights!
Gerrish Twp. park is a local boat launch that is one mile away. It provides docking, boat launch, fishing, picnic area, and much more as you enjoy our Northern Michigan summers. Perch, pike, and trout are among the fish that can be caught in Higgins Lake plus public restrooms and a rinsing station. All is accessible by car.
South State Park and Campground is just 2 miles away which also offers a public beach and boat launch as well as camping.
Local pizza and ice cream from Polar Parlar is less than a mile away as well as Nibbles Ice cream and a fully stocked party store. For more needs theres also a Dollar General.
The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably with option of 8 if double up on the two full beds. We prefer no more than 6 adults, so the 8 would be with a few kids. We've had 3 10 yr old girls sleep in one full bed a few times while there were spare beds available (don't ask me why). A cozy family cottage interior, and offers many amenities to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
With the cottage being located on the south end of Higgins Lake and conveniently located between US-127 & I-75 trips to Traverse City, Petoskey, Cheboygan and even Mackinaw Island are recommended day trips (each within 1.5 hours drive).

- "." - "The cottage was cleanly, cute and just right for a summer weekend up north. We loved the extra thoughtfulness of having a little cooler to use, bug spray, spices, etc. Super close to the water and a nice dock to hang on. I’d recommend to anyone and definitely stay again!" - "A great place with access to the lake about a block away! Very clean and the main living area was modern and comfortable. A great place for a few people to hang out if the weather is rainy. The best part though is when the weather is nice. There is a back yard with plenty of space to hang out or to prep for heading to the lake. Between the driveway and the garage there's plenty of room to organize the water toys for kids or adults. Beds are super comfortable too."

Recommend the stay." - "My husband and I stayed with our 17 and 7 year old for 3 nights. The cabin was cute and clean and had so many helpful little extras that we didn't expect. It's tucked back into the trees so you feel like you have your own space.We had a wonderful time swimming and playing at both South and North Higgins Lake State parks.

- "Love the locale. We will stay here again." - "Very cute lake house. It was very easy to find, and newly renovated. Thank you" - "Looks like the cottage was very recently remodeled. Thoughtfully done; nice looking and clean. A suggestion for the owners: adding plenty of wall hooks near the entry doors, in the bathroom, and in the bedrooms would be helpful. Replace the small dressers in the bedrooms with bookcases; they’re tall and narrow, and they’ll provide more/better storage. Replace the semi-sheer bedroom curtains with opaque curtains, or add privacy film to the glass. More toilet paper; one roll per day of stay, perhaps. Pleasant, wooded neighborhood, with a pretty little swimming area just on the other side of the adjacent Amvets lodge. Road-end lake access, no overnight mooring. Boat launches nearby. Recommended!"

- "Everything was great! It was extremely clean and felt so cozy!!" - "Attention to every tiny detail! This cottage is quite spacious for a one bedroom. It was a perfect fit for us…a mother, daughter and grandson. Beautifully decorated and still had so much original charm from the vintage appliances to the massive antique sink in perfect condition. Everything you could need was at our fingertips from fans to heaters. We were greeted with a bottle of Rosé, the linens were top notch and the sofas were solid, comfortable and spacious. Water pressure was great and towels luxurious! She had magical outdoor lighting and anything else you could need was available in the shed…grill, beach chairs and floats, etc. Cottage was clean, offered books and games, plus Wi-Fi, with Netflix, & Amazon Prime. The owner was quick to respond and very kind. Wouldn’t have changed a thing and will most definitely book again in the future. Could see the lake from the front, nice short walk to Higgins. Amazing location close to pretty much everything. North beach right around the corner."

This cabin is my personal 3rd generation place. We have personal pictures of family memories. This is a rustic cabin with personal items. Many rentals are like hotel rooms - this is not . If you wish to rent a place that is only a rental on the lake, this is not it! It will not be perfect - toys from 3 generation are on display there. Most people love it! I don’t want you to rent my place and then complain because it’s not sterile enough. There are many renters who think it’s wonderful and try to return. If you are picky or finiky, wanting brand new towels and nothing personal left in our cabin, then please‼️ rent another Cabin‼️ We do not want another bad review because they expected differently or didn’t read the description. We very seriously considered discontinuing renting because of the 1 bad review. If this makes you think twice, then please go to another rental‼️ This cabin rents quickly so leave the opportunity to others who will appreciate it ‼️

The house is cooled in the summer by window units (living room and bedrooms) and heated in the winter by a forced air furnace. Additionally, there are wall heaters in the bedrooms to make sure you are warm and cozy on cold Michigan winter nights.
Pets are welcome for a fee, but you must include them in the VRBO reservation.

- "My family had a wonderful getaway at this property. Everything was wonderful, from the amenities, to the snack basket, to the fire pit. My kids brought their scooters from home and enjoyed riding up and down the long driveway. We sat aroind the fire pit each night of our stay. My kods were sad to leave this sweet up north retreat." - "When you rent a property sometimes you just don’t know what it’s really going to be like. We were pleasantly surprised when we opened the door. It’s clean, inviting, cozy and a basket of goodies to welcome you. My father in law is 80. The 4 steps were fine for him. He said the bed was really comfortable and he enjoyed the quiet surroundings. There was plenty of space for the five adults. No one complained about the beds or the air conditioning. We rented the place to stay for a wedding at The Barn down the road. Which worked out fabulous. We should have brought another mirror but we managed for the one evening event. There are instructions for the rental in a white binder and suggestions for thing to do in the area. Which is a nice touch and well organized. Went to Cut River Grille the first night, had the best grinders, you can split a half with someone. I don’t have to say anymore, many of the reviews were spot on. I would rent this property again."

- "Our family (3 young adults ages 18-22 years plus mom and dad) stayed at this VRBO for 5 nights. It was absolutely perfect. The description of the home that they advertised matched exactly as to how the house was. Check in was very easy. The house was extremely clean and the owners thought of everything you might need to use during your stay. Comfortable beds, furniture, environment. Great location. 2 deer greeted us right in the front yard one evening as we returned home from our day trip. Our family LOVED this home and we would definitely recommend it to future travelers."

Oh and not too far of a walk to the beach. We enjoyed the beautiful sunsets too." - "The house is very cute and had everything we needed. Nice location within short drive to the lakes. Loved the firepit outside! There is construction behind the property that was fairly loud and we ran out of hot water quite often. Only 4 of us there and we had to stagger showers.

NEIGHBORHOOD:
The cabin is just 3 blocks from the south shore of Higgins Lake, which is widely recognized as one of the most beautiful lakes in Michigan! The neighborhood is made up mostly of smaller cabins, the vast majority of which are vacation homes. There is a party store (Good Times Party Store) nearby that is only 0.6 miles from the cabin. The village of Higgins Lake is on the west shore of Higgins Lake and is about 5 miles from the cabin. There is bar and grill (Silver Dollar Pub & Grill) in the village. The area is very popular for fishing, ice fishing, boating, canoeing, kayaking, snowmobiling, and cross-country skiing.
Here is some additional information about Higgins Lake from Wikipedia:
"Higgins Lake is a large recreational and fishing lake in Roscommon County, in the U.S. state of Michigan. The 9,900 acres (4,000 ha) lake is known for its deep, clear waters and is the 10th largest in Michigan with a shoreline of 21 miles (34 km). It is named after Sylvester Higgins, the first chief of the topographical department of the Michigan Geological Survey. It has a maximum width of 4 miles (6.4 km) and a length of 7 miles (11 km) with a maximum depth of 135 feet (41 m). The mean depth is 44 feet (13 m) and the lake contains almost 20 billion cubic feet (570×106 m3) of water. Its retention time is about 12.5 years. The lake's watershed covers 19,000 acres (7,700 ha). The twin-lobed lake receives half of its water from submerged springs, six percent from incoming streams, and the remainder from direct rainfall and runoff. It drains into Marl Lake by the Cut River which runs into Houghton Lake and eventually to Lake Michigan via the Muskegon River. A mile north of the lake, water flows into the Lake Huron watershed.
Sportfish in the lake include yellow perch, trout, smelt and pike. Fish are taken both in open water and by ice fishing. Higgins Lake is considered a morphometrically oligotrophic lake, meaning that its large size causes it to appear and function as a nutrient-poor lake although it receives a fair amount of nutrients.
The unincorporated community of Higgins Lake is located along the western shores of the lake, and the lake is situated on the boundary between Lyon Township on the west and Gerrish Township on the east.
There are two state parks, located on opposite ends of the lake: South Higgins Lake State Park, which has a mile of shoreline, and North Higgins Lake State Park. Both provide public boat launches and camping, and are very popular in the summer months. The south park is older, larger, and more developed. The north park is located on what was once the world's largest seedling nursery, a part of the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s and early 1940s.
Centuries before European settlers came to North America, the Chippewa people called the lake Majinabeesh, which means 'sparkling water'."

- "Property was suitable for what we needed it for. Had a blast with my son and friends " - "No doubt the lake was beautiful and very close by. We loved that. But if i have to be honest I was disappointed with the cleanliness of the inside and outside. Coffee pot was dirty, microwave was dirty &, there were a ton of spiderwebs everywhere and the house smelled incredibly musty. The outside trash was overflowing which made me wonder how long it had been since the trash had been picked up.The yard had multiple piles of dog poop and could of used mowing or a little weed whipping at the least.The grill was left uncovered so we didnt dare use it. On the positive side, the bathroom was one of the rooms that was very clean and there were alot of amenities. My cousin and I cleaned the plastic table & chairs found in the far back of the yard and spent most of our ttime sitting on those outside due to the smell of the house. We cleaned like crazy before we left because we were worried new tennants would walk into what we did.Ive been using virbo and renting cabins/cottages for 15 yrs...I will say the place does have great potential but it needs more effort spent on upkeeping the yard and cleanliness. The communication was AWESOME and although this review is not super I still believe with improvements it could be very nice"
