We were happy to find availability here for July 4-7. Very affordable and plenty of property to enjoy. Nice secluded neighborhood. We brought a trailer with a side-by-side & dirt bike and there was plenty of room to park it.

Great property!

Had a fantastic time staying here, loved Higgins Lake and the beach, didn’t even have time to use all the amenities the property has to offer! Can’t wait to come back and make a campfire and s’mores. Perfect for our young family of 5!

Comfortable, relaxing, and clean!

My sister and I had a great time staying two nights! It was close to where we needed to be, and the neighborhood was quiet. We even saw some deer wandering around on our way in. Highly recommended.

wonderful cabin - clean & comfortable

This cabin was very clean and comfortable, the neighborhood was really quiet. Mike was very quick to respond when we texted with a question. We had a very enjoyable and relaxing stay and would highly recommend this property. Restaurant recommendation: Cut River Grille; the food was excellent as was the wait staff.

Cute cabin in the woods

This cozy cabin was perfect for my husband and me to get away from the city for the weekend. It had everything we needed. We really liked that it was on a double lot with lots of trees, so we felt more secluded from the other houses, especially when we had campfires each night. But it's in a great neighborhood, conveniently located between both lakes.

Our group enjoyed a very relaxing weekend away from our husbands and kids. :) The home was clean, secluded, and just right for our group of 4! The beds were very comfortable and the house was well stocked with everything we needed. Check in/out was a breeze. We will definitely be back!

reconnect 'girls' trip

Mike is quick to respond to all messages. cute 'cabin' - nice to have a comfy chair as well as couch in TV area. extra spices were a nice touch, (but we brought our own). small for as many as it can sleep, if you plan to be inside.

Great location for cross country skiing

The location is perfect. It was a struggle keeping the house warm, which we know was due in part to below zero temperatures each night of our stay. The second bedroom is snug with the extra bunks, as noted in the listing but it was still a bit of a shock. Mike's communications at every step of our rental experience was thorough, which is always appreciated.

David I’m sorry to hear you struggled keeping it warm. I wish I had known you had this issue. We have 3 sources of heat with the propane fireplace, wall heat pump units and the electric baseboard heating. We’ve never had an issue keeping it toasty warm on the coldest nights. Good feedback though so I know to mention to other guests who may not realize there’s plenty of heating options.
