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).

Book your vacation now!
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can expect to find free WiFi and a Smart TV with a DVD player. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

Cute cabin in the woods

This cozy cabin was perfect for my husband and me to get away from the city for the weekend. It had everything we needed. We really liked that it was on a double lot with lots of trees, so we felt more secluded from the other houses, especially when we had campfires each night. But it's in a great neighborhood, conveniently located between both lakes.

Great location for cross country skiing

The location is perfect. It was a struggle keeping the house warm, which we know was due in part to below zero temperatures each night of our stay. The second bedroom is snug with the extra bunks, as noted in the listing but it was still a bit of a shock. Mike's communications at every step of our rental experience was thorough, which is always appreciated.
