Very nice place to stay after spending day trips with family and friends staying at Higgins Lake State Park. Very clean and supplied with all the essentials from coffee, tea and spices in the kitchen to shampoo and soap in the bathrooms. We will stay again if we are ever up in the area. Full Disclosure- the air conditioning is a single unit in the living room, but it did keep it cool enough on a near 90degree day with ceiling fans in every room of the house.

Perfect location

We were in town for a family wedding. Came in a few days early and were close to Higgins Lake and kayaking. Got to see lots of wildlife around the property, kids loved seeing mama deer with her babies.

Higgins family visit

2nd time we’ve stayed here. Family rents an American Legion on Higgins Lake North Shore and we stay at this place so we have a clean and comfortable place to retreat to at the end of a day on the lake. We were very pleased that they have continued to refine the place with the addition of a 2nd coded entry lock and a higher grade of cable tv . Clean, neat, well furnished, comfortable, great location. 86 year old mother loves the place , made spending time with her a lot easier . Thanks again !!
