Clean lake house, friendly owner
We stayed at Higgins Lake for a week, hoping for good sailing weather, and while the weather wasn't great, Higgins is a beautiful lake and the property where we stayed was very nice. Beds are comfortable, lots of seating for watching TV in the evenings. Kayaks are available for the days that are calm. Kitchen is well supplied. There are lots of hand towels, bath towels, and wash cloths. We brought our own sheets and beach towels, but it looked like those were also available. The owner, John, and his extended family live in the next few houses and are very easy to communicate with. We enjoyed our stay!

Great little spot
This was this years yearly vacation destination. Perfect for our extended family of 9. We did bring a couple air mattresses, but plenty of space upstairs for those. The place was exactly as expected. The lake was great. John was very pleasant. Only complaint would be the sprinklers, a warning of them and timing would have been helpful. Wouldn't have gotten things wet if warned ahead of time.

Great Place to Stay
The house was perfect for our needs. Very comfortable and not over done. And the location was PERFECT. The staff was extremely helpful and totally responsive to our questions. One thing we think may require attention is the top bunk in one of the bedrooms was extremely noisy and we felt may not be safe. The requirement we thought was a little strange regarded laundry. We had to make up our own beds upon arrival, but where the problem arose was that we had to launder all our linens and towels before departure. While there were 2 washers and dryers, the fact that one set was in the basement which contained multiple spiders presented us with a problem that meant we were not able to dry all the laundry. For that we apologize. Thank you for your great home and super hospitality.

Great cabin, sensational location
The cabin was exactly how it looks in the photos. Having views to the lake and direct lake access was awesome, we enjoyed taking our kayak out. There is a sand bar which goes quite a way out into the lake, so the water is shallow, warm & safe. We stayed here partly because we had friends camping at South Higgins Lake State Park, it was ideal being able to get there so quickly. Excellent friendly host, easy check-in. Already hoping to come back next year!

Peace and tranquility until the wee hours
We enjoy the peace and quiet of the lake until the wee hours of the morning which are party hours for our neighbors. That does get a bit annoying. We had also requested permission to bring our service dogs but did not get a response do did not inquire further but did notice that the neighbors had a dog with them.

Family Getaway
This house was perfect for our family of 8. Great location on the lake. Plenty of room for the extended family to come and hang out by the water. The beds were comfortable. Recommend each person bring a blanket, a bedspread is provided. Kitchen was well stocked though we did not cook alot. We hope to be back again for another stay. John was very accessible if we needed anything.

Perfect winter retreat
A last minute decision to get away for New Year's led us to Higgins Lake and this ideal house for our family. We were close to Cross Country Ski Headquarters and enjoyed walking out onto the lake as it froze over. The view of the lake was serene and the location provided enough seclusion to enjoy the quiet.

Great family getaway!
The location of the home was great and it was just as the pictures shown. It was clean, spacious and comfortable. We liked the “up north” feel of the home with all the amenities. We really enjoyed the great view of Higgins Lake from the living room and the night sky from the dock. The area was quiet and secluded. One of the highlights was the pontoon rental, which we used almost every day. John was easy to work with and quickly responded to all questions. The entire family was friendly and helpful. Thank you John for a great family vacation and we look forward to returning next year!

Peaceful Retreat
The house is spacious with lots of seating. The beds were quite comfortable. Bring your blankets, because there aren’t any supplied here. A couple extra dish towels for the kitchen and extra washcloths would also come in handy. Also, there’s a septic system, so, do not bring antibacterial soaps. The location is great. The water is perfect! My only complaint is that the dogs were leaving souvenirs in the lawn where we walked to the beach. We would have scooped it up if a shovel was handy. We all had a great time and would return.
