Great stay!

Had a great time at this home. It was clean, the beds were comfy and the location was great. We had four families staying here and it was well suited. The kids, all very young, had a blast, as did the adults. Would recommend!

Great place especially with littles! Very clean, cozy and comfortable. Has everything we needed and thoughtful extras that made staying there like our home away from home! The lake is close by with beautifully blue waters and soft sandy beaches, we will definitely be back!

Joyce, thank you for sharing your experience. FYI I had to replace the grill this morning and apologize your family was unable to use the grill. You are welcome back anytime and thanks for taking care of our cottage as if it was your own. Tried to change house rules to 5 stars but it wouldn’t let me.

The cottage was excellent; everything was as described. Our Family of 11 enjoyed every part of it. The layout was great; the back deck was nice and the firepit area was wonderful. The location of Higgins Lake was perfect. We rented a Pontoon for two days from B&B very close to the cottage and they were awesome; we also rented a Wave Runner from Go Fast for the 2 days and they we great as well.

We had an enjoyable weekend at this Home. Great layout that fit our group well! It was nice to have 2 bathrooms (one for the upstairs room and one down stairs). Ron (host) was very easy to talk to and very responsive. Neighborhood was quiet and friendly.

Pleasant Retreat

From the moment we stepped out of our vehicles we found the property to be very inviting! The neighborhood is very tranquil and we were greeted by the resident ducks. When we opened the door we were greeted by two baskets full of snacks and sweets. The property handled our range of ages and our number (12) well! With one full bathroom on each floor there were no traffic issues at anytime during the week. And it is a great starting point to step off to other day destinations. We took advantage of both Higgins and Houghton Lakes! Truly a great destination and great host!

We had a wonderful stay! The home was very clean and comfortable, with a well-stocked kitchen and more linens than we needed for our group of 14. The communal spaces were so inviting—we loved gathering together and truly enjoying the space. All the rooms were cozy, and everyone, from the 10-year-olds to the teens and adults, felt right at home.We especially appreciated the thoughtful extras like board games and additional beds (a rollaway and air mattress), which allowed us to configure the sleeping arrangements to fit our family dynamic. It created a fun, custom space where the cousins could spend more quality time together.Although we didn’t get a chance to use the outdoor area, we were very pleased with how it was set up and could easily see how enjoyable it would have been. Overall, it was an excellent experience, and we truly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommended!
