I used 'waterfront' in the search criteria so that I could check out a place where we could anchor our boat during summer vacation. This property has limited 'lake access' but is not a boat-friendly waterfront property.
Jillian was easily accessible, kind and patient. The house was clean and cozy and that is what made the stay so special. Time went way too fast. We hope to return next year. Joann
We used this house as our home base for the Halloween weekend at Higgins State Park where my son was staying with his family. It was a great relaxing place to come back to after our fun family filled day at the state park. We would love coming back and staying here again as my son frequently stays at the campground with his family.
Staying at the cottage was extremely pleasing. The cottage was just perfect, like Goldilocks, not too big, not too small, but just right. The proximity and access to Higgins Lake was again just right. On the morning of our departure, we were already discussing our return visit. All in all, Jillian and the cottage were perfect! Five golden stars !
Lots of room, comfortable beds, very clean, alot of outside seating, and very nice burn pit, very close and easy walk to the lake, very quiet neighborhood, made for great early morning and evening walks with our dog, had everything we would have needed in the kitchen, centrally located so was able to visit other cities within 1.5 hour drive, cannot say enough nice things about this cottage
Check-in and out went smoothly. Host was very responsive! House was very clean and stocked with everything you need. Amazing fire pit area! Deck was perfect for all meals had at the house. It was a great stay, would stay again!
Great cottage. The bedrooms are spacious. The kitchen is well-stocked with cooking equipment. We enjoyed the large bonfire pit and dining room table outside. Very clean overall.
Our family had a great time for a long weekend at the cottage. We did some kayaking on the Ausable River, fishing on the lake and spent lots of time around the fire pit. The house had a few quirks, but that is just a function of being an older house. It was very well maintained and clean and had plenty of beds for our extended family to sleep in. The owner provided clear instructions and was prompt with communication and responding to questions.
3 senior ladies.. we enjoyed the cottage..had breakfast in.. lunch either took orpur food for picnic at beach or ate out in Sutton bay. Only thing the ladies asked me to mention was the rugs in kitchen & bedroom next to bathroomâŠ. The rugs are a Slip / trip hazard and we moved them during the stay & put them back. A rug is nice but one with rubber back that is stable would work better. we enjoyed it.. mah Jongg every night & the cottage stayed cool as it sits in the shade .
The cottage is roomy with plenty of space for a group/family. Clean and comfortable, central air for the hot days. A large enough deck for sitting and eating. A great fire ring for gatherings. The lake is clean, clear and sandy! Canât beat it!
This is a nice 4 bedroom house walkable to Higgins lake. It is in a very quiet neighborhood. It has amazing water pressure in the showers. There is plenty of room for large groups. There is a large fire pit with plenty of seating. Firewood not supplied but you can buy it for 6 a bundle. No bath or hand towels. Shallow water for quite a ways out but very clear. Overall great place to stay.
This place is awesome! No details have been overlooked. Bed was super comfortable, as well as sheets, bedding, pillows, etc. nightstands, counter space, drawersâŠall plentiful. The kitchen is well stocked, which is super nice that you donât have to run out to the store for those items. Great communication with host. Would definitely book again!
We frequent the Higgins Lake area a lot least 3x a year, staying in various rentals. We have never stayed in the same one more than once. This property will be our new favorite home to book. Itâs centrally located close to sxs trails, close to the lake, so clean, fully stocked, with an amazing outdoor fire pit area. We had 2 families staying in the house. LOTS of beds with any and everything we could have needed. We loved the bathrooms. Not everyone in Michigan knows how to bathroom, but this property did. I donât have a single negative thing to say. It was a perfect Memorial Day weekend. Thank you so much for hosting us! Canât wait to book again!
My family said because of the flag and the house being big and white on the outside, that it looks like the whitehouse. Lol. It was so cure and cozy. Beds were amazing. Loved being there. Thanks Jillian!!
