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.

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!

- "." - "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."

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."

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.

- "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."

- "Enjoyed our stay with quiet area and easy access to lake" - "This sweet house had everything we needed and more. We enjoyed roasting marshmallows at night around the campfire, plenty of seating for all, playing games with family and enjoyed the fully equipped kitchen so family dinners could be made. 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. I also found the lighting to be dim but i like a well lit room...my personal preference. Overall a nice few days away!!"

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"

- "The house was excellent...far above what would be true if staying in an older cabin or dated motel.

Stocked kitchen with everything needed. Beds were super comfortable and space was decorated nicely. It felt like home. Host responded to inquiries quickly and was very friendly.
