About this property
Higgins Lake Lakefront Lodge with Private Sandy Beach - Sleeps 13
Welcome to our family home on Higgins Lake, with 100 feet of private sandy lakefront, crystal-clear water, and beautiful views from nearly every part of the house.
The sandy, shallow shoreline is one of our favorite things about the property. The water remains around knee-deep with a white sand bottom for roughly 300 feet before gradually dropping into deeper water, making it wonderful for swimming and families. A private dock extends 80 feet into the lake.
The 3,900-square-foot Big House sleeps up to 13 and combines the character of a classic Higgins Lake lodge with plenty of space for family and friends. The home features a warm knotty-pine interior, a large great room, two glassed-in porches, a renovated and fully equipped kitchen, and large picture windows running the length of the house with expansive views across the lake.
Built by a well-known local Swedish craftsman, the house has beautiful carpentry and details throughout. Outside, the deck overlooks the lake and is a favorite place for morning coffee, family dinners, and watching the sunset over the water.
This is our family home, not a full-time rental, and we make it available for a limited number of weeks each summer and early fall. We hope you'll enjoy Higgins Lake and the house as much as our family does.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.
