Perfect overnight

The house was perfect for family friends staying together. Location allowed for trip down au sable river and is close to multiple places to eat. We enjoyed the fire pit and s’mores ingredients the host left. Beds were comfy, house was clean, Tara was very responsive to all our needs. Would stay again for sure.

Two baths, two bedrooms with king size beds & third bedroom with two queens - though mattresses need replacing on some beds. TV’s in every room. (BYO streaming device) House was very quiet & clean!

Long Weekend at Higgins

Family and friends drove up to spend a long weekend near Higgins Lake. We’ve headed up north for years and have never stayed near Higgins. Beautiful lake! The house is clean and comfortable and a relaxing space for our home base. Great kitchen. We would stay here again. Thank you for sharing it.

They thought of everything

We had an amazing stay! The owner thought of everything! From the nightlights all throughout the home, the box fans, the cute s’mores kit, shower with removable handle to help shower the kiddos and the kcups. So many great little touches! We stay at vacation rentals 2-4 times a year and are quite picky! We would stay here again without hesitation. Wonderful location and the beds were also super comfy. Thank you so much for a great mini vacation!

Wonderful Stay

Wonderful place to stay. Everything feels new. One suggestions. You need washcloths most don’t pack those. Also I would add a plastic pitcher or too in the kitchen along with a hand mixer. I’ve stayed at many Vrbo these always there.

Thank you Anita for your review. I agree, we should have pitchers and a hand mixer, I will get them. I do have washcloths in the bathroom drawer for guests. You were a great guest and I hope to have you visit Higgins hideout again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Tara Hartwig

Host profile image
Hello, we are a family of four that likes to vacation up at Higgins Lake. We just recently bought this cottage because of its modern amenities and thought other families would like to enjoy it as well.

Why they chose this property

This beautiful home is very modern and will feel like you are at home. It has all stainless steel appliances, a reverse osmosis system, and a water conditioning system to make the home easier for you to enjoy. It also has a whole house generator so if you are at the house during a storm you won't lose power and the A/C will still work in the summer months. This house features three bedrooms with 2 King beds and 2 Queen beds.

What makes this property unique

You have a lot of privacy at this house when you stay here. You can enjoy the wooded lot behind us when you have a bonfire at night. Then you can rent a boat and launch it at the public boat launch at South State Park 3 min drive away.
