About this property
Private, Cozy, Quiet on double lot near Beautiful Higgins and Houghton Lakes
Higgins Lake was recently voted MSN Real Estate's Top 10 Locations for Boat Owners!
Enjoy this cozy cottage, just a short one mile drive to crystal clear Higgins Lake boat launch.
Our cozy cottage is nestled in a lush, green forest setting, and is one mile from the sixth most beautiful lake in the world, Higgins Lake and just a few miles north of the largest inland lake in Michigan, Houghton Lake. We have local trails to explore for snowmobiles, quads, dirt bikes, ATV's and side by sides just around the corner. Only 4 miles from the 6/7 trail head at the US-127 exit 201 that you can ride to from the driveway. We have a front deck with a gas grill and furniture out back to help you relax and soak up the summer sun! There's a large outdoor table with chairs as well as a picnic table. We have a large double lot with wooded lots on both sides (no close neighbors!) that provide a peaceful private up north setting along with a stone bonfire pit out back for roasting s'mores under the stars. For those rainy days enjoy a game of cards under the cathedral ceiling covered porch out back with a ceiling fan and dimmable LED lights!
Gerrish Twp. park is a local boat launch that is one mile away. It provides docking, boat launch, fishing, picnic area, and much more as you enjoy our Northern Michigan summers. Perch, pike, and trout are among the fish that can be caught in Higgins Lake plus public restrooms and a rinsing station. All is accessible by car.
South State Park and Campground is just 2 miles away which also offers a public beach and boat launch as well as camping.
Local pizza and ice cream from Polar Parlar is less than a mile away as well as Nibbles Ice cream and a fully stocked party store. For more needs theres also a Dollar General.
The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably with option of 8 if double up on the two full beds. We prefer no more than 6 adults, so the 8 would be with a few kids. We've had 3 10 yr old girls sleep in one full bed a few times while there were spare beds available (don't ask me why). A cozy family cottage interior, and offers many amenities to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.
With the cottage being located on the south end of Higgins Lake and conveniently located between US-127 & I-75 trips to Traverse City, Petoskey, Cheboygan and even Mackinaw Island are recommended day trips (each within 1.5 hours drive).

About the host
Hosted by Mike Christian
We are a family of 4. Wife, Husband, 10yr old Daughter and 21yr old son (that doesn't come up much, go figure). We are a non smoking family that enjoys a clean home, watching movies, snowmobiling, boating and bonfires out back. This is our paradise.
Why they chose this property
We bought this property as our second home to get away and its been a dream come true for us. In the last year our jobs changed which forced Mike to work Saturdays and severely limiting our weekends we could visit the cabin. For this reason we decided to share the cabin with others. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this cabin as soon as we pulled in the driveway. The windows in the front going up to the peak, the landscaping outside, the woods on either side of the cabin that provide more privacy and the quiet neighborhood all added to our love for this property. Being able to snowmobile and ride four wheelers at the local trails plus being so close to two of Michigan's greatest lakes makes this property all the more enjoyable. If you have never been on Higgins Lake which was voted the 6th best lake in the world then you're missing out! The water is crystal clear and reminds us of our numerous trips to the Caribbean. You won't be disappointed!
