cottage 100 feet private lakefront on beautiful higgins lake

I had rented this cottage with my family last year and we enjoyed our time there, and returned. This is a great property for either several couples or a large family. The cottage is fairly isolated and quite quiet. It is located on the water, but the front of the cottage is about 100 feet from the water. The caretaker assists with multiple cottages in the area and is there in case anything goes awry (which has not happened during either of my experiences). I would recommend this to anyone.

WENT FISHING AND CAUGHT PERCH AND ROCK BASS. WENT CONOEING EVERYDAY AND DID SOME PADDLE BOARD. WE MEET MIKE AND BLUE. THEY WERE VERY NICE AND HELPFUL. BLUE EVEN PLAYED WITH THE GIRLS IN THE WATER. WE WENT TO GAYLORD ONE DAY AND WENT TO JAYS AND ATE AT GOBBLERS. THE COTTAGE WAS NICE AND CLEAN. IT WAS STOCKED WITH SOME SPICES AND HAD PLATES AND SILVERWARE. THERE WAS SOME SHAMPOO AND CONDITIONER. PLENTY OF TOILET PAPER AND KLENEX. PLENTY OF TOWELS.

The pictures don’t do it justice. The house was much more spacious than the pictures, which was a pleasant surprise, and the great room is BEAUTIFUL! Vaulted ceilings, rustic fireplace and a fantastic view of the water. We had our own beach with plenty of toys for my son, inside and out. Mike was incredibly accommodating and made sure that we felt right at home. Sally was also very accommodating and allowed us to come early to make the most of our holiday weekend. I definitely would reccomend this property to others and we are looking forward to going back next year after our daughter is born.

My only suggestion would be screens all the way around the house to be able to open it up a bit more. That being said, It was 90 degrees 2 days that we were there so that was outside of the norm, especially for Memorial Day weekend. It did get a tad stuffy but when you spend 90% of your day outside and on the water it doesn’t really matter.

This was the first time we stayed at The Sparr Cabin and we were there for a week. This is the perfect cabin for four people. The cabin was clean and nicely decorated. We loved the fact that we were right on the lake with a little beach area and dock. This is a pretty secluded spot which we also loved. The cabin is also very close to the walking paths (literally right across the street). It is also about 2 miles to the new paved bike trail at the camp grounds to the Dairy Queen. We visit Higgins Lake every other year and hope to make it back to this cabin in 2019. Sally was quick and responsive to questions regarding the initial booking and then directions for two weeks prior to us arriving. Mike was helpful explaining the cabin itself and grounds. Thanks for letting us stay at your retirement home!

Our family had a great time. The cabin itself is well kept and fully stocked with everything you need. The location is wonderful, hidden from the road and right on the lake. We played on the beach during the day and had bonfires every night. We will book this cabin again for next year. Mike, the grounds keeper, made sure our stay was very enjoyable, he even took us on a boat ride!! Between the hospitality, the cabin itself and the location, it was one of the best family vacations we've ever had!!
