Roscommon, Michigan
South Higgins Hideaway is a lakefront cottage on the southern shore of celebrated Higgins Lake, in northern Michigan. Escape to the great outdoors with swimming, fishing, kayaking, boating, a firepit and hiking, all at your front door. Our pet friendly, vintage Hideaway is located on sixty feet of sandy, crystal clear lakefront and is within walking distance to the South State Park. We have three bedrooms and 1 full bath. All three bedrooms have queen beds with plenty of pillows and linens provided. Please note; our third bedroom, the porch bedroom, is unheated and only available in the warmer months. Two kayaks are available for your enjoyment during your stay; life jackets are not provided.
Our kitchen is fully stocked with everything you'll need. A coffee pot, french press and grinder are on hand. The Microwave, toaster oven, griddle and blender will make your stay more comfortable. We provide clean linens and towels. We have a smart tv, wifi, lots of games, puzzles, books and vintage vinyl for hours of entertainment. Our wrap around, three season porch makes an ideal spot for an afternoon nap.
We're a 15 minute drive to quaint downtown Roscommon and 20 minutes from Houghton Lake. There are plenty of beaches, parks, disc and golf courses, all within a short drive. Pizza, icecream and the park store are all very close.
We had a wonderful stay! Despite the rain and cold a couple of the days, the cabin was cozy and warm. Beds were comfy and we had everything we needed. We hope to go back!
The only thing making it better would have been the weather but thats the chance you take this time of year
This was our first Vrbo stay and we couldn't have been happier. Audrey was very good to work with and the setup was wonderful!
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.
What an adorable little cottage! We had a blast with our friends and family at this place! Lots of laughs and memories in the short time we were there. The owner has stocked this home with all the necessities so all you really need is food and clothing. There are towels and blankets for indoor and out, all kitchen utensils, dishes, spices, oils, coffee etc! (We brought everything so hopefully this will lighten your packing!) The only drawback I would say is there really isn’t a “beach” area if u have little ones but the state park beach is literally steps away! This cottage has so much character and charm, we will hopefully be back in the future!
This was incredible on all levels the host the location and the space. We all felt like this peace and comfort when we walked in. The cottage has everything you could need. The decor was epic and thought out. Our family had a blast!!! We will definitely be back we have been going to different lake rentals this year and this trip was my entire family’s favorite. The host with the most ❤️
The property was amazing, and the people were even better. We enjoyed the neighbors, the water, the view. Even during a storm it was amazing. The bedrooms are amazing and there's a bed on the front porch where we slept the whole time. The kitchen is awesome and very well stocked. Everything you could ever want is in there. Lots of extra blankets and towels. Books and games. Lots of outside chairs. We were not able to bring much of our own stuff with us because we're from California so it was a huge relief to see that everything was so well stocked. We loved it will be back We recommended it to everybody we know
Everything about this stay was amazing, the property owner was so helpful and responsive. The house is beautiful and cozy, the water is perfect for anyone, my kids and i loved everything about it. Completely turn key and beyond. I can’t say enough good things about my experience, normally I don’t book the same place twice, however, my family and i all agreed we must go back to this one! I would recommend this place to everyone.
Clean and comfortable. Everything we needed and more. Would definitely stay here again.
This is a great spot to get away with your mom friends or family and enjoy the beach and lake. There’s plenty of sleeping areas and the house is stocked with all of your needs, even coffee ? We are already planning our trip next year.
Our long weekend stay at Audrey’s hideaway absolutely exceeded our expectations! The Hideaway was the perfect fit for our family with the comfortable rooms, expansive screened in porch area (perfect for our rainy day!), private beach/dock access to keep our boat rental overnight, well stocked with the most thoughtful items, and nostalgic up north vibes that made us feel like we were visiting our family’s cabin on the lake from the second we walked in. Audrey’s impeccable responsiveness and hospitable nature made staying here that much more comfortable, truly one of our favorite rentals and hosts. We’d be so lucky to stay again next time we’re in the area!
Great stay! Loved the porch and the full size kitchen. The view of the lake was perfect and being able to walk 50ft to be in it was amazing.
We had a group of 6 adults and stayed at the cottage for memorial weekend. We loved it so much, we have asked to book again for next year! The location is great, the views are incredible and the host is amazing. Great little extras at the cabin. They have thought of everything. Grill, kayaks, firepit, dock and boat lift. Extra blankets and towels. We had a blast with the record player and awesome selection of records. Anyone looking for a place on higgins lake will not regret booking here!
5 stars!
We loved the authentic vintage experience of this cottage. Higgins Lake is known for its shallow shores and crystal clear water, and it did not disappoint. In the evenings the firepit proved to be a wonderful gathering place for laughter and conversation. We rested well and enjoyed listening to some oldies on vinyl. Kitchen was well equipped for everything we needed for a big breakfast and dinner preparations. Thank you for sharing your place!
Amazing hosts! Family owned and operated. Parents of host live right next door , very welcoming and friendly. Host exceeds expectations. House very cute and charming. She said a few quirks were in the home but we didn't notice! Thank you for a great stay.
