Absolutely gorgeous lake front house. The sunsets were stunning. The house is huge inside, plenty of space for family to gather. We enjoyed using the kayaks, canoe and row boat and spent many nights at the lake side fire pit. A little bummed that the lake is too mucky for swimming, but would absolutely come back regardless.

Lovely cabin in the woods

We loved our stay. House was beautiful and had everything we needed. Lake is beautiful and quit, perfect for taking the boats out and we caught lots of fish. Swimming was good for the little kids but the water was very shallow so hard for older ones to swim. We took a short drive to Higgins lake which had a beautiful state park beach. Town was only 20minutes away. Overall would highly recommend if you’re looking for a quiet layed back vacation.

2023 Annual family vacation

Every year my brothers and i take a week long family vacation. This year was great we enjoyed the house with plenty of room for all, kayaks, lake and beachfront, had plenty of room or nerf wars and traditional hide and seek games. The only thing was no internet and phones did not get good service, so make sure to bring dvd for raining day's.

Great Cabin

We stayed here for a yearly family week vacation (ages 4 years old thru 86 years old) and had a great time. The cabin was very clean and very well stocked (best stocked with linen, towels, and kitchen needs we've ever seen). Updated linen, blankets and furnature impressed everyone, as did the many bedrooms and sleeping locations (kids loved the bed on the enclosed porch/dining area lol). The lake is small, but so peaceful, great fishing (lots of bluegill and big bass) and perfect for kayaking and nightly fires. Communication with the owner was top notch and very quick. All in the family vote to stay again.

First Annual Family Camp

We choose this property to entertain Grandparents, Parents, Siblings and Cousins ranging in age 6 to 67 for some much needed family bonding. The basketball court, treehouse, good fishing from the dock and swimming were an intricate part of the selection process. However, prior to allowing entrance to the tree house, an adult inspected it and found numerous raccoon poops on the front porch. By the second day we were overwhelmed with ticks on our body and in our hair. We are a family that loves the outdoors. But the brush in the yard and long beach grass proved to be a major tick breeding ground. We spent countless hours combing through Granddaughters waist long hair for peace of mind. Several family members found the critters on them. We enjoyed the great fishing from the dock. Youngsters caught and released several large fish, including large mouth bass and a large pike. The cabin was spacious and very clean. The use of rowboat, canoe and kayaks was an added pleasurable bonus. The basketball court got daily use and kept the older boys entertained. The swimming was FIVE STAR for our Granddaughters aged 5 and 8 years! The water is just the right depth, with a dock to jump off and a sandy beach and sandy lake bottom. We enjoyed the beachside firepit in the evenings but found it awkwardly too close to the neighbors dock. Having to look at and converse with them on their way to their pontoon boat as they embark for evening boat rides. We would enjoy this property again if the brush were cut down and the beach grass mowed short to discourage ticks.

Response from VrboOwner on 17 Dec, 2022
The summer of 2022 was known across the area as a bad one for ticks (it is also the first time we have ever had ticks since 2010). We sprayed the property for ticks and mowed high traffic areas to help control the ticks. Mowing the grass by the lake is not an option as we chose to keep this area natural which also helps keep the geese away. It was definitely not the summer to stroll through high grass areas. Hopefully Mother Nature will give us a good winter so the tick population is not so outrageous in 2023.

Spacious cabin with rustic decor, small, well stocked kitchen, huge dining table that could seat 10 squeezed in, basketball hoop and lots of balls outside and toys, games and books inside, lifejackets galore,Kayaks and a canoe were lots of fun, swimming area was waist deep at end of dock with mucky bottom,which didn't bother the kids at all, nice little sandy beach with fire ring. About 20 mins from West Branch (Meijers and Walmart) and Houghton Lake. Loved South Higgins Lake State park, lits of shade, sandy shallow water, store and restrooms. Roscommon Zoo was interesting!

Great place for a vacation.

We had a wonderful time. The cabin was everything stated with plenty of space. We loved the decor. Our hosts promptly answered all of our questions. Our three-generation family had a lot of fun together.

The Sisters Stay

We are a group of 8 long time girl friends. This cottage was a perfect fit for all of us - plenty of comfortable sleeping arrangements, lots of space to move around and spread out. The cottage is a wonderful place to stay! Owners are very pleasant and communicate quickly with your questions. We will be booking for next summer very soon!

Loon Lane Lodge

We enjoyed our stay at Loon Lane Lodge . It was very peaceful, smaller than expected, but the cottage was large and wonderful! It is a bit far from town for those needed items such as gas for boat and ice for coolers, that would be one thing we would have preferred. It is a very weedy area, but possibly a protected wet land area. Sand on beach was nice but swimming area is very very limited. We did enjoy the kayaks and row boat that were provided. Though we were a large group, the cabin provided many rooms to find peace and quiet as needed. Peaceful and restful describes this vacation home best.

Such a great time!

My family spent a week at this cabin and loved our stay. It was absolutely so relaxing and peaceful. The cabin sits very secluded and the lake is calm most of the time. Watching the loons, hummingbirds, and woodpeckers were so fun. We used the kayaks and row boat which made our stay even better. Just a heads up, someone did make a homemade anchor for the row boat but I brought my own as well. The lake has a ton of bass and we caught 2 lb bass right off the dock. Would recommend and want to stay there again!

Loved the cabin, beach was amazing! Lake is beautiful and peaceful! Had so much fun kayaking, swimming, enjoying campfires on the beach and relaxing and unplugging with family! Great place to stay if you are looking for a quiet getaway off the beaten path. Communication with homeowners was great. Would definitely recommend and will return for future visits!

Second Year review

The second year was just as pleasant as the last time. The kids enjoyed themselves just as much. Staying a whole week allow us to relax more and not feel as rushed with wanting to get all the activities in. We did miss the sandy beach area but made up for it by hunting for frogs. The extended dock was vital for making it an enjoyable experience for all.

Perfect place to relax and unwind

Loved everything about this cabin. The location was great. It was off the beaten path, in the woods, with a beautiful lake view. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. The fishing was really good, we caught Bass, Pike, and Perch. Would very much like to return again next summer.
