****PLEASE ONLY SEND INQUIRIES, NO BOOKING REQUESTS UNTIL WE RECEIVE THE INFORMATION WE ARE REQUESTING HERE. ****

Come stay with us on Higgins Lake, the 6th most beautiful lake in the world according to National Geographic. Our cottage is private, it's on 1/4 acre of land with 160 ft. of beach frontage, we have boat mooring and lots of parking. We're on the southern part - small lake It's the most sought-after area because of its calmer waters, the sandy beach and shallow waters loved by families. We are across from the South State Park, a short drive from our cottage. We have a dock and a patio with patio furniture, picnic table, hammock, and loveseat swing. Our local convenience store and two great restaurants are in walking distance. All bedrooms have views of the lake, we have knotty pine walls in the dining room, sitting room and family room with wrap-around windows facing the lake; a small library of books and videos; games; Our cottage has a real up north feel- it's rustic, full of character and very comfortable. It's been in our family for over 80 years. It is not a renovated cottage, but we include many conveniences for your comfort (see amenities) and we keep it very clean. We are in a rural area at a lake so sometimes but very infrequently you may find harmless insects or a spider so if you are insect-phobic then a lake cottage would not be the best choice for you. As an owner I was afraid as a young child, so be sure lake living works if you have young children. We will be your personal concierge about Higgins Lake and the surrounding areas. This cottage is a great value for those who are looking for rustic, or those who want to pass on the higher costs of a fully renovated cottage which commands resort pricing. Our cottage is well taken care of and it has a wonderful layout both inside and out including lots of land. Wifi is included. Please ONLY send us
an ”INQUIRY” for more information. Please DO NOT send a “Booking Request”. PLEASE send us information about the adults and children (ages) who you are traveling with and about your vacation style. We just want to make sure this is a good match for you and your family and how you like to vacation and also for our family-minded neighbors. Our neighbors and our family have quiet hour from 10 pm to 8 am. Please ask us anything about our cottage, property, etc. and we will be happy to answer all your questions. We want you to have a wonderful vacation. Thank so much for reading about our cottage. We hope to hear from you. We are owners that care very much that you will enjoy our home as much as we do. Warmly, Wendy and family
PS We have discounted fall and spring prices some years except for holiday weeks or holiday weekends when we are not booked and we are not using our home and are open to negotiating on our summer prices if it is only a few days in advance of your arrival date as well when we have days that are not filled, so be sure to ask! We often use our cottage so please reach out with an inquiry to see if your dates are available.

    Charming, 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!

    We 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.

    The 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!!

    Location 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!

    We 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.

    We 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!

    My 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!

    We 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.

    You 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.
