Stayed Jul 19, 2025Charming, private, cozy cabin! Amazing lake views and sandy frontage. The kitchen had everything we needed, as did the cabin. Very spacious, with plenty of room for rest and relaxation. Wendy is incredibly attentive and responsive. Absolutely wonderful!

Stayed Jul 12, 2025We had fun. The cabin was great with 2 bathrooms. We had a few small concerns, as can be expected with a cabin in Northern Michigan. Wendy the host was great to deal with and you can tell that she was very motivated to make things right. Great communication. Thank you.

Stayed Jul 5, 2025The property was perfect for our needs. Just steps to the water and we played all day. The beach is sandy and the water is crystal clear. The cabin is rustic which is what we wanted for our “up north” getaway. No worrying about needing to use coasters or inevitably dragging a bit of sand inside. The kitchen had everything we needed to make great meals. The outside had plenty of places for our group to spread out. It was the best family vacation we’ve had!!

Stayed Jun 28, 2025Location on a beautiful lake with a nice view. People in the area are very friendly and found a couple of good places to eat. The cottage was clean it is older so as expected it doesn’t have all the comforts of a home. If you like rustic and a cabin atmosphere this is a great place. The host was really nice and informative. Lots to do in the area, rent a pontoon or canoe the Au Sable river!

Stayed Jul 27, 2024We loved our time with the family at the cottage. The main room and front porch are highlights. You have to appreciate the hardwood floors, pine walls and ceiling, and massive field stone fireplace with full mantle. You just don't see rooms like that anymore. It's a great atmosphere to gather and catch up with everybody or just sit by yourself and read a book.

Stayed Jul 20, 2024We had a great week staying at Wendy’s Higgins Lake cottage! Wendy was a great communicator- I reached out with several questions and she was quick to respond and very friendly. The cottage was clean and perfect for our small family. The beach was so relaxing and amazing for our small children. We would love to be back!

Stayed Jun 29, 2024My husband and our 4 teenage boys stayed for a week at Wendy's amazing place. The location was absolutely beautiful and the views of the lake were unbeatable. The space outside was great for playing corn hole relaxing in the hammock and gathering around the fire pit. There were a lot of trees for privacy and shade and the beach was amazing and clean. The water out front was shallow and beautiful and made for a great view lying in the chaise lounge chairs provided. Inside the layout was perfect for a bigger family like ours. The back bedroom offered privacy away from our teens and had a private bath right off the bedroom. The 2 other bedrooms were a good size one with a queen bed and the other with 2 twins and were close to the main bath which was very large and spacious. The front room with 2 additional twin beds and an amazing view of the lake There is a dining area with a living area that gave us enough room to spread out when we were not on the lake. Yes, the cabin is old-fashioned but my husband and I felt like we were at our grandmother's place with all the homey details. The cabin was very clean and was a lot bigger than the pictures led us to believe. Wendy was incredible to work with and her communication and care for our stay were beyond excellent. We will be back without question!

Stayed Jun 24, 2024We have stayed here for several years now and will return again. First of all, it has a great beach for lounging and swimming. Higgins Lake is one of the clearest and largest lakes in Michigan. A boat mooring line is provided and plenty of room to add another, which we do. The cottage is always clean. It seems small at first sight, but it accommodates our group of 4 couples nicely. I personally have slept in all the bedrooms over the years but love the porch the best. It is so great to fall asleep listening to the waves lapping on the shore. Fires at night in the back yard are always a nice way to end the day. Wendy is a fantastic host. She is always available to answer questions and invites ideas on how she can make our stay even better.

Stayed Jun 14, 2024You will come for the lakefront location, but stay for the beautiful historic up north cabin. It has all of the amenities you need with the charm of simple cabin up north. We loved it as a family, but really look forward to visiting it again with friends to enjoy the serenity that’s found in this location. This place is a true gem.
