Family week on the lake

Absolutely amazing week on the lake with our young family (toddler and 6 month old baby). Perfect for swimming, kayaking, and more. The house, deck, and yard feel very private. Views are hard to beat. Exceptional!

Wonderful Water View

The cottage met all of our needs during our two-week stay on Higgin’s Lake. We especially liked the location and view and accessibility of the water, right out our door. Deck, dock and fire-side seating were comfortable – we used them all. The cottage itself was quaint, comfortable and well-equipped. We spent a lot of family time, working, eating, and talking at the nook dining table and on the deck. Diane was an excellent host.

A relaxing week on Higgins Lake

Really enjoyed our stay at Higgins Lake. Cottage once again was clean and comfortable with great views of the lake. New deck in front with the two tables was a perfect place for us to hang out. Thanks again to Diane for letting us rent her beautiful lakefront cottage.

Charming Lake House

The cottage was clean and cozy, with a perfect yard and dock for hanging out at the lake. Higgins Lake is crystal clear, and it’s rare to find a rental like this on the lake’s “gold coast.”

Super cozy

This is a very cozy cabin on Higgins lake. Beach and dock were great. We had 5 adults, and the sleeping situation was a little cramped. But if you’re looking to spend your time outside enjoying the lake, then this is a great spot! Boat mooring was good and the neighbors are very friendly. We even saw the northern lights on the last night!

Spectacular Sunsets, Excellent boating, gorgeous lake!

As stated above, the view and the access to the lake are superb! We really enjoyed being able to have our boat right there so as to not have to worry about launching it every day. We also enjoyed the sunsets in the evening along with a fire. Diane was a wonderful host and always willing to try to make your stay better. We will definitely be coming back again next year.

Damn…..it’s over

This is our third stay at this cozy cottage and had the pleasure of not one week, but TWO!!! What can I say? Cottage has everything you need—comfy beds for a great night sleep, comfy couches for watching and listening to the lake, small washer and dryer for emergency loads, every pot/pan/utensil you need. The outside is gorgeous with tons of spaces to watch the sunrise and sunset. Fire pit, tons of outside furniture, dock, boat mooring. All you need are your toiletries and a swim suit! They are constantly upgrading the place every year. As far as the owner?? Can’t say enough about her!! She is wonderful to work with. I hate giving this place such a great review because I don’t want people to know of this well kept secret gem and take my dates next year!!! LOL
