We recently stayed here for a wedding and, despite our busy schedule, we thoroughly enjoyed our time.I was particularly impressed by how comfortable the home was and how relaxing it felt to be on the beach. The privacy and peacefulness of the property were also greatly appreciated. Plus the view was phenomenal!I hope to have the opportunity to return in the future when I can dedicate more time to fully experience everything your place has to offer.

Returning to the lake for the first time since the 1960s

I haven't been to Higgins Lake in decades. I always loved the time I spent there as a child. We found this location, which had great views. Even though it was winter, we enjoyed our stay. The cottage was comfortable with excellent amenities. Highly recommended.

We loved the Higgins Lake front property with amenities like the paddle boat and dock. There was plenty of room to spread out providing privacy for everyone. The owners were organized and easy to work with. They are clearly working to improve the property even more.
