About this property

Newly renovated cottage with 55 ft of lake front

Contact us ONLY on VRBO, be aware of FB scammers!

Great cottage for a large family (or two small families) on the beautiful Higgins lake. Private lakefront beach with sandy bottom on the property as well as a hoist for your boat, and complimentary pedal pontoon, two paddle boards, and two kayaks. Quiet neighborhood south of Higgins lake, ideal for families with kids. The house is newly renovated, including new floor, appliances, and furniture. The house does not have AC, but there are ceiling and window fans in every room. The dock will be out by mid may and will be removed mid October.

Here is an in depth list of household items to help you pack:

We loved staying here. There is so many things in the house that you dont have to pack much. We wish there were kitchen towels, batteries to replace in the remotes and it would be nice to have more then 1 tv, but everything else was fantastic. Our kids loved the indoor and outdoor toys. We will definitely look into booking again. Communication was great as well. Thanks for a great stay!

Even Better The Second Time!

This was our 2nd visit and it was fantastic! Clean, clean! The weather could not had been better. The house has so many wonderful extras - our grands LOVED the kayaks and went out many times a day. Lovely decorating and very comfortable for families. Thank you for accommodating with the ramp and handrail. Owners were easy to communicate with! Can't wait to go back!

Thank you so much for this amazing review! It means the world to us that you chose to stay again — and even more that your second visit was even better! We’re thrilled to hear the house was spotless and comfortable, and that the weather cooperated to make your stay extra special. It’s wonderful that your grands enjoyed the kayaks so much — seeing families make those kinds of memories is exactly what we hope for. And thank you for sharing the photos — they’re absolutely wonderful, especially the adorable one of the kids on the dock! We’re also glad the ramp and handrail were helpful and that communication felt easy throughout your stay. You are truly a joy to host, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for visit number three! 🌿🏡✨

The owners of this property thought of everything to make our week stay so incredible. The cleanliness of the cabin , the beautiful little beach, the kayak, paddleboat and little things like toys for the kids made our vacation wonderful. We are definitely going to book again.

Fun on Higgins Lake

We really enjoyed the location and amenities of this property! Close to some great hiking spots and ice cream shops, and the lake itself is beautiful. The game table was especially fun for the kids on rainy days, and our entire family enjoyed the SUPs.

Overall, 4 star rental and would rent again. Great location. Only negatives: 1) the kitchen had to be cleaned upon our arrival; and 2) the yard needed mowed.

Dear Gregg, Thank you for your comments, we appreciate that you enjoyed the house and the location right at the lake! We will contact you by private message as we are interested in understanding what was not up to standards in the kitchen to review the cleaning routine. We also apologize about the grass not being mowed yet. We have a contract to have it done on Fridays. We will contact them to make sure no cuts get missed. Thank you again for your feedback.

Very nice stay

We had a great time staying at this property. We were able to bring a small boat and were allowed to use the boat lift at the dock, which was very convenient, especially since we had heavy winds and fairly large waves. The property outside nicely maintained, firewood was well-stocked, and the grill worked very well. We had a great weekend and even were lucky enough to see the northern lights over the lake.

We had a women's week at the cottage, and had a great time. The location is great, and the place had everything we needed. The AC was not an issue for us, lots of windows and fans. The view of the lake and Treasure Island is gorgeous. The South Higgins State Park nearby was excellent.

The added touches of fans and lights for the bunk beds, games for all ages, extra beach towels, the list goes on and on. We want to come back for a month next summer! Thank you for an awesome trip.
