We enjoyed our stay quite a bit. Communication with the owners was quick, checkin and check out was seamless. It was nice to have access to a full kitchen and laundry room. We were a bit hot without AC, but that’s just us being nitpicky. We rented a pontoon from B&B marina across the lake, and returned it to the marina at night. We didn’t get much use out of the dock access, mainly because we rented the pontoon and didn’t need to. Overall, We highly recommend this rental!

Higgins Holiday

We had a lovely stay at this cute little cottage. The kitchen was stocked very well, the beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the privacy of the fire pit each night. Other members of our family had a house across the lake with a dock, so we were able to keep our boat in the water. I would highly recommend this rental!

Cozy cottage right across from the lake

The cottage was cute and in a great location. The kitchen was well equipped and the complimentary coffee and tea was a nice suprise. We had a small hiccup when we first checked in as the property had not been turned over from the previous renters, but Rachel responded promptly and the cleaning service arrived within the hour.

Mini getaway

Area was great. House was nice and loved the yard. Great open kitchen and fire pit bbq in the backyard. Water access was very small and no place for my husband and I to sit while kids swimmed. Not huge deal as we drove to the beach daily. (8 mins away)

Up North Vacation

This cottage was the perfect spot for us to stay while being at Higgins Lake for a wedding. The 3 bedrooms worked for us as we had my parents and our toddler so all of us had our own separate space. I was a bit concerned about not having air conditioning during a high 80's weekend, but the cottage stayed cool all day and night! Definitely would come back for another Higgins Lake vacation!

Not so relaxing getaway

My spouse and I have had a very stressful summer. This trip to Higgins Lake was the one thing we were looking forward to. Unfortunately, this listing was extremely misleading. Yes, the house and neighborhood were very clean but it WAS NOT on the lake. The owners originally listed that the property was on the lake and had beach access. Wrong. The lake is a fun 5 minute walk to a dock with no beach. The dock is crowded and there is no where to sit/ relax. Also, you cannot drive and park at the lake entrance so have fun lugging a kayak, cooler and beach bags down the road while cars and golf carts pass by. Needless to say, this was not relaxing and not on the lake. The owners will update the website after complaints so beware. They also fail to respond to you when you have questions/ concerns. Not happy and would like a refund.

Fall Getaway

This property was perfect for a fall getaway for my husband and me. It was cozy and clean and well appointed with comfy beds and furniture. We were one house off the water on a quiet street that allowed us to take long walks and enjoy lake views and wonderful "Up North" trees. We encountered friendly neighbors out enjoying the fall weather. We drove over to both State parks for beach time as well as a short 30 minute drive to Hartwick Pines state park. The kitchen was well equipped if we had wanted to prepare meals (we chose to eat out). We are looking forward to coming back and maybe even bringing another couple (plenty of room!) Super clean and quiet!

4 days by the lake

The house was ok, can tell they are working through some updating. Otherwise amenities provided were great. Nice fluffy towels and comfy bedding. You only see a sliver of the lake, but can walk down to a dock at the end of the road. The lake is beautiful! We swam there and star gazed at night. Other than that my only major negative were the barking dogs next door. to the dock down the road
