Higgins Lake - One Of A Kind Lakefront Lodge!

Thank you for looking at our home on Higgins Lake!

This spring-fed lake, with its sandy shores and lake bottom, boasts pristine clear waters, and crystal green depths. Our dock extends 80 feet from the shore. The water is knee deep with white sand bottom for 300 feet, then gradually drops off to deeper water. We have 200 feet of beautiful sandy beach front.

The Big House can sleep up to 12. It has a beautiful knotty pine interior, great room, 2 glassed in porches, and a brand new kitchen. The house was built by a local well known Swedish craftsman. There are many examples of fine carpentry throughout the house. The lake fills the view through the large picture windows which run the length of the house. The deck offers a spectacular view, especially on clear nights when the water sparkles in the myriad colors of the sunset.

While this is our family home, we rent the house for some summer weeks and early fall, and we thank you for looking!

Forced Family Fun 4th of July

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The location of the house was perfect and the hosts were staying in other homes on the property. Kip and Mike were very friendly and helpful. They were quick to respond to any minor issues that came up.We had the perfect family 4th of July week. We spent much of our time outside in the shallow waters just a short walk from the large deck. It is a spacious property and we had plenty of room for our group.This was one of our favorite family trips ever.

Our favorite resort

This has always been a favorite of my family. The property is big enough to fit us all, but cozy enough to enjoy meals, games, and scary movies! The owners have always been very easy to work with. It's a bit expensive, but we're willing to splurge periodically because we love it! Thank you to the Shields family for sharing it.

Up North - Lakefront Cottage

Great location for a mini family reunion. Friendly hosts were always available, although we didn’t need much that wasn’t already provided. The house is fully equipped with just about everything, and has plenty of comfortable gathering areas inside and out. Right on the water with a little sandy beach, and nice, clean and firm gently sloping sand as you enter the lake. It was the perfect set-up for our family get-together.

Family Perfect

The lake view from the porch is spectacular! And the house accommodates many with the multiple bedrooms. Our 6 granddaughters loved the dormitory room. The owners were helpful and responsive. It felt like we were in a family’s beloved old lake house and we were lucky guests.

Higgins Lake Getaway

This is a lovely older home on beautiful Higgins Lake. It was a wonderful place for twelve family members to enjoy a week together. The living areas are large, and the kitchen met our needs for cooking three meals a day. It was wonderful to have two full size refrigerators. The lake is shallow, and we were able to walk out to the swim raft easily. We brought our pontoon boat and a paddleboard for fun on the water.

3 family weekend

This house was perfect for 3 separate families and we appreciated the well stocked amenities in the house and 2 refrigerators for our food/drinks. The directions to get to the actual house threw us off since there are several homes sharing a driveway, but once we were in, it was fine. The hosts were very responsive and considerate. The home is a little older, but it’s right on the water with a nice beach for littles- I would definitely stay again.

Beautiful home away from home

This really was a home away from home! From the time we got there to the time we departed, everything was just perfect. There were plenty of "goodies" included at the house, and we even got to meet Kip, the property owner, and his family. Very personable! Had a great conversation about the smoker that we brought since he's a collector of sorts. We're looking forward to returning again some day.

Spacious beach house!

We had an absolutely wonderful time this summer at this perfectly located beach house. Beach was beautiful with sandy shallow water that went well past the dock. Lake was perfect for a group of children. The beach was big, and the common space in the house was huge and perfect for a large group. The grill was clean and yard space was a wonderful spot for the many football and soccer games our kids played. Plenty of towels and well-stocked kitchen. We all enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back.

Great location, huge roomy home

We have stayed in so many Vrbo homes over the years, I have to say that I LOVED that there was no instruction book, no list of what we should, could our shouldn’t do, no pre departure chores just absolutely nothing! So refreshing. We had two questions upon arrival (needed the baby gates and high chair) they answered and that was it. Everything else we figured out. This home is very well stocked with cookware, dishes, spices etc. two grills, great back deck that is enormous and the space and layout inside was perfect for our group of 6 adults and a 15 month old baby. Lots of nooks and crannies to sit and read, new solo stove for nightly fires and beautiful views of lake. Because we were there the second week of September it was chilly so didn’t spend much time in water. Higgins is a beautiful clear lake. Owners very responsive when needed!
