Higgins Holiday

We had a lovely stay at this cute little cottage. The kitchen was stocked very well, the beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the privacy of the fire pit each night. Other members of our family had a house across the lake with a dock, so we were able to keep our boat in the water. I would highly recommend this rental!

Perfect week near Higgins

This quaint, clean cottage was such a relaxing place to spend a few days. Our adult kids said that the kitchen was well appointed with everything they needed. Big fridge came in handy! We’ll rent again for sure! Thanks Rachel!

Higgins Lake family trip!

Check in was super easy!We walked into a very cute and very clean cottage. Our family of 3 and a dog were very comfortable and happy using the Robbins Cottage as a home base. The back yard is very nice and the front porch is perfect for morning coffee and reading. The neighborhood is so cute and everyone is really really friendly. We were here to see friends who have a cottage a few minutes walk away and spent most of our time on the beautiful lake. The public access to the lake down the road is small but was perfect for putting in a kayak!The kitchen is well appointed, the beds and couches are comfortable, and the water pressure in the shower is good. We really hope to be back next summer!

We enjoyed our stay quite a bit. Communication with the owners was quick, checkin and check out was seamless. It was nice to have access to a full kitchen and laundry room. We were a bit hot without AC, but that’s just us being nitpicky. We rented a pontoon from B&B marina across the lake, and returned it to the marina at night. We didn’t get much use out of the dock access, mainly because we rented the pontoon and didn’t need to. Overall, We highly recommend this rental!

Cozy cottage right across from the lake

The cottage was cute and in a great location. The kitchen was well equipped and the complimentary coffee and tea was a nice suprise. We had a small hiccup when we first checked in as the property had not been turned over from the previous renters, but Rachel responded promptly and the cleaning service arrived within the hour.
