About this property

We are excited to share our family cottage on Higgins Lake. Higgins Lake is consistently voted the most beautiful lake in Michigan and one of the most beautiful in the world due its crystal clear waters and sandy bottom. Our cottage is perfect for bringing together large families and groups of friends, while also giving folks plenty of space to spread out and enjoy themselves.

Situated on the west side of the small end of Higgins Lake, you get to enjoy the sunrise with your morning coffee. The lake depth allows you to moor your boat close in to shore, while also allowing for plenty of area to swim (the end of our dock is about 4' deep). Our location, shielded from a lot of the wind, is one of the calmest parts of the lake. We are positioned about half-way between the South Higgins Lake State Park (an easy boat access point) and Detroit Point. We are also a quick boat ride to the Sunken Island, a sandbar in the middle of the small end of Higgins Lake, which is a popular place to gather with other boaters.

People come to Higgins Lake in the summer to swim, water ski, wake board, knee board, tube, sail, wind surf, kayak, canoe, fish and cruise the crystal clear waters. Our cottage is close to some of the best golf courses in the state, including Forest Dunes Golf Club. In the winter it is a great spot for snowmobiling, ice fishing. cross country skiing and sitting in front of roaring fire with a good book.

Spacious (Homey & Cozy) Family Space in Beautiful Place.

Our family would definitely return. Higgins Lake was exceptional & this house made the stay special. Communication with owner was easy & prompt. Helpful & kind! Via e-mail Katie answered questions for planning & texted throughout the week. We also spoke on the phone. At all times Katie was helpful & responsive. Kitchen: Very well stocked with all tools, spices, oils, etc. Plenty of pans, glassware, kid stuff, dishes, & serving ware for the whole family. Amazing dining space! The kitchen table was awesome for dinner, drinks, games, & gathering. We made many meals & had tons of fridge space (using garage fridge + beverage fridge in kitchen). Stove left something to be desired, but we heard it is scheduled for repair. The grill was on the smaller side, which was easy to navigate. Despite warm days, the evenings were comfortable with the fans provided in each room. We were nervous about no A/C, but it was not a problem. Nightlights perfect for getting to bathroom downstairs. Notes: - Amazon does not deliver - Instacart does not deliver Stores: - Higgins Lake Market: small selection deli, produce + basic dry goods - RJ’s Best Choice Market (Houghton Lake): Amazing deli! Lots of locally made jams, produce, breads, smoked items. Excellent selection - Uncommonly Good (Roscommon): organic and small company products - The Butcher’s Wife (Roscommon): fun old fashioned candy store, dry goods - The Party Store: booze, snacks

Family Lake Vacation

Lake vacation experience for all ages. Enough space for 16 family members. Comfortable home. Plenty of property to play. Lake access right on property. Had a great time swimming, fishing and tubing. Ping pong entertained us during rainy day. Grand kids said it was the “best vacation” so far. They want to come back❤️ Thank you for sharing your lovely home! The Scott Family

Awesome family vacation

Warm family cottage that is ideal for large family vacations! Water front is great for kids with sandy bottom and shallow for some distance off shore. Owner was great to work with and responsive to all communications.Higgins Lake is one of the best in the state with really clear water and sand bars to hang out at.

Perfect Spot For a Large Family Get-Together!

We had a great time at the Higgins Lake Cabin! It was clean, spacious and extremely well-stocked in all aspects, with an epic dining/puzzle/game table and plenty of room both inside and out for our multi-generational, extended family gathering. When the weather cooperated, we were enjoying the lake, the huge lawn, & the fire pit; when it didn't, the enormous garage was a perfect place for ping pong & corn hole. Katie was a delight to work with.... helpful, flexible, organized. 10 stars all around!
