There are two locations to launch your boat or pontoon within two miles of the cabin, the Public Access and North Higgins Lake State Park. You can moor your watercraft in front of the property using a "screw in type anchor."

This gorgeous site is in Roscommon, Michigan, and is surrounded by nature and woodland. Lake Higgins is right on the site's doorstep and is known for its deep and clear water that is perfect for fishing and swimming. Higgins Lake State Park is just a few minutes from the rental and is the ideal place for guests to explore the surrounding area. The Silver Dollar Restaurant/Bar is a short walk from the property if you'd like to "hit the town" for some food and drinks and not worry about driving.

While in Roscommon, guests are encouraged to visit the different sights on offer, including the Civilian Conservation Corps Museum, the Cross Country Ski Headquarters, and Campbell's Canoe Livery, where guests can rent kayaks and take them out on the lake for a fun day on the water or a fun float down the Ausable River. Roscommon Zoo is another great attraction and is ideal for a family trip for all to enjoy, especially the kids. Hartwick Pines State Park i Grayling is a must see for all!

Houghton Lake is less than 20 minutes from the rental and offers plenty more fishing and swimming opportunities for guests to enjoy. South Higgins State Park is another great park for guests to enjoy and is right on Higgins Lake. Huron-Manistee National Forest is roughly two hours away and is perfect for those looking for bigger and more challenging hiking trails, while they can retreat the comfort of their lakefront rental in the evenings. Traverse City, Petosky, Charlevoix, and Gaylord are all about an hours drive from the cabin where you will find lots of shopping, restaurants, and activities to enjoy. Grayling and Roscommon are also close by and have wonderful places to visit. If you would like to see the Mackinac bridge or Mackinac Island, you can drive there in two hours!

My husband and I go stay somewhere on Higgins Lake every summer. So far, this is my favorite place we've ever stayed. Cabin is cozy and comfortable, the lake is so beautiful, and I love having such easy access on a private dock. The owners were very responsive whenever I had questions. Great trip!

Right on the lake

I stayed here with three friends and had a wonderful time! The house is right on the lake with an awesome dock you share with two other houses . The lake is very shallow so we just sat in the lake all day although the water was a little chilly. Everything was comfy and cozy and the no AC was no problem with tons of windows and fans available. The kitchen had everything we needed to make meals. The TV with cable and Netflix was a nice bonus as well! There was enough paper towel and toilet paper to last us four days but no towels. I would definitely recommend to stay here!

Overall it was a cozy cottage! Smaller than even pictures look. Really should only say sleeps 6, 8 is pushing it. Outside area was great, loved the enclosed gazebo especially when it was lightly raining. We enjoyed our stay.

Listing is very misleading

This rental is a SHARED beach, campfire, boats, gazebo and fire pit... NOT directly ON the lake. Make sure that if you’re planning to use the boats to bring your own life vests as non are provided... The cabin is well kept, except the stove didn’t work and we planned our meals around that. Bring your own wood for fires in the evening as well. If a letter would have been sent to renters more than a day ahead of our departure, we would have had proper time enough to plan our stay.
Response from VrboOwner on 4 Apr 2020
Dan, We do appreciate you staying with us and your feedback. As we mentioned in our communications with you directly during your stay, we try our best to make everything as clear as possible in our listings. We are so sorry that you found the listing to be misleading that has not been our intention at all and this is the first time we've had this issue presented to us. We have rewritten portions of our welcome letter and listing to try and make this as clear as possible. The large gazebo, kayaks and canoe, lawn areas and beach/dock are shared between our properties. Each cabin has its own deck to enjoy privately, they are not connected to each other, they do not obstruct the views to the water - at one point each of these was its own property with their own owners. We had a maintenance person check the stove after your check out, unfortunately he did not find any issues and it seems to be in working order, we also asked the guests after you and they had no issues either. As for the water, our property is on the water with its own private beach - the photos show very clearly how close we are to the water. There is lawn area and a small sandy service road between the cabin itself and the water, but there are no other houses, properties or anything like that separating the cabins from the water. While we were happy to reiterate the nature of some shared amenities to make sure any future guests are not misled, we stand firmly by our location on the water and ask future guests to see the photos which clearly show the location on the water. Thank you again for staying with us and for your feedback.

Great weeks stay!

From check in to check out everything was wonderful! The owner Greg Checked in on us to make sure we had everything we needed. He even helped us locate a boat rental after our boat we had reserved for 6 months was rented to someone else :( The only problem we had was the loss of power 3 days in row. This by no means was the fault of the owner. Most of the lake was out we heard. Even the housekeeper Tammy was very friendly and accommodating. We will be back Greg just don’t know if it will be this cabin as the family is growing and we might have to have your larger house. Thanks for a wonderful vacation. Pete & Bonnie
