Wonderful place to stay
This property was welcoming the minute we pulled up the driveway. Once inside even more so. Everything was clean and it was well stocked with items - cookware, dishes, coffee maker, and more! I would recommend this place over and over.

Perfect Location
What a wonderful experience! The home is just right the right size, in a great, quiet location. Trees all around give a feeling of privacy even though there are homes around the area. We were visited by deer each morning and even in the evening while we were enjoying a fire! The host is fantastic, answering any questions you may have very quickly and efficiently! We would love to return next year!

Lake trip
The house was located very closely to Higgins Lake. The house was clean and perfectly fit our needs. We loved the lights out by the bonfire area. We enjoyed our stay here and would love to come stay again next summer.

Cozy, Convenient Northwoods Fwel
Stayed here while vacationing with friends to enjoy lake life and local recreation. The property provided great cooking accomodations and amazing property to enjoy fires and bbq'ing outdoors. Great location to get anywhere you need to go for an area day trip.

Annual Higgins vacation
My husband and I go up to Higgins every year with his family. We've stayed in many different places and so far, this one is our favorite! We loved this cozy little home tucked away in the woods. Very scenic, beautiful, and relaxing. It's everything we needed with nearby access to Higgins and Houghton for some good old fashioned fun in the sun. We were very impressed with everything that was already there for us to use (pots, pans, aluminum foil, sponges and dish soap, etc etc). We would gladly stay there again :)

Nice place not a fan of all the housework required at checkout.
Cute cabin, my nieces enjoyed the loft area. I just don't understand why they charge a large cleaning fee then ask the guests to wash & put away all dishes, round up all the towels and put them in the tub and strip the beds & pillows. Taking out the trash and cleaning your items from the refrigerator I get, but not the other stuff...unless you cut down the cleaning fee!

Beautiful home and incredibly peaceful. We needed a play to stay as a jump off point for a trip with our side by side and this property fit the bill perfectly. Clean, convenient and great communication with property owners. We will definitely be renting this place again.

Amazing Time!
We stayed at the beautiful Higgins Lake Retreat with family. The place was spotless and had everything we needed. It has A/C, but with the numerous ceiling fans it was not needed. Living room furniture and beds are all very comfortable. Kitchen is well stocked, and all of the appliances work perfectly. Very close to Higgins Lake. Thank you for a wonderful time and we plan to return!

Weekend stay for Winterfest
Our weekend stay was fantastic at this cozy cabin. The fireplace is great to make for a warm night playing cards. The cabin is very close to the lake and to where the events were being held for Winterfest. We enjoyed every minute of it.
