This is where tranquility would go to relax!
Property was amazing. Clean, comfortable, quiet. Nicely and funly decorated. There were games everywhere. Board games, card games, yard games. The screened in porch was great, as well as the deck & fire pit. Deer & black squirrels roamed freely. The beds were comfortable, kitchen had everything we needed (and more). It was so peaceful. You couldn't even hear a car going by. The host has really put there all in to this rental. Amazing!

Perfect getaway at Lake Higgins
We absolutely loved this retreat. It was secluded, yet a very short walk down to the park, beach and beautiful Lake Higgins. The inside of the home was beautifully decorated and stocked with everything we could need! The beds were incredibly comfortable with pillows and blankets galore. We made meals every day and took walks every morning and evening. Coffee on the back deck started each day off in the right direction and bomb fires at night, was the perfect ending to the most relaxing time we have had in over a year! Thank you and we are already planning our next trip up to what I feel is one of Michigan’s best kept secrets.

Respite in the woods and near Higgins Lake
If you are looking for an amazing house with every amenity you could need, look no further. With 3 bedrooms (+ a murphy bed!) we had plenty of room for our group of 5. The kitchen was clean and well stocked, the 1.5 bathrooms were plenty for us, and we enjoyed the screened in porch, deck and outdoor games. We also brought our dog who enjoyed walking in the neighborhood and meeting the friendly Golden next door. We would definitely stay here again!

Annual trip
We enjoyed our annual trip this year. The weather wasn’t the greatest with the rain and fog but we made the most of it. This house had the perfect accommodations with a large 2 car garage and multiple games for us to play as we waited out the rain. It was the perfect accommodations for our friend group. We would definitely rent again.

Great family getaway
This place was a hidden gem, location was great. It was in close proximity to the lake. This home was clean, nicely decorated and spacious for two families. The owner did a great job at creating a great space for entertaining. I appreciated the details such as having plenty of games to play with, bikes to use, cleaning/cooking supplies, trash cans for bottles and an even extra fridge in the garage. Shawnna was excellent with communication, she quickly responded to any questions and was very accommodating to our group. Overall, we enjoyed our time and would like to stay here again.

My family and I really enjoyed the home and the location. It is just a short walk to the lake and there were bikes and ping pong in the garage along with cornhole/bags. The owner was very accessible via phone. We are looking forward to going back in the summer sometime. Highly recommend!

Even better than expected
First time booking with VRBO, we have used its competitor in past. Probably our favorite place so far, and literally booked it right before vacation (A nice extended weekend). The photos and description of this property does not do it justice. Such a nice place for a family of four & our dog. It has everything you need, just bring clothes and food (we completely overpacked). It has plenty of games for for kids and adults. It’s a nice walk down to the water. It’s just far enough from the main road, but yet close enough. As other reviews had mentioned, A gift certificate was provided for a cute little market up the street, which was awesome. We spent a day at South Higgins Lake State Park which is a short little drive, and the next day on a pontoon boat from B&B Marina. Our only regret was not having more time in the house.

This home was very clean and stocked with games and activities to fill our evenings! We loved the porch area, ping pong table in the garage and the bicycles! Communication with the owner was fantastic. Cute little decorating touches and a gift card to the local market (we bought fresh donuts) were great little touches to make us feel welcome.

This house is adorable and has anything you could need including games for the kids/cleaning supplies/trash cans for bottles and an extra fridge! We loved the location and being able to walk to the lake. Beds were cozy which is always my big concern and the owner was great to work with! We also were allowed the dog which is a great bonus! Thank you for sharing with us and we would love to come again!
