Nice location and nice cottage. The bathroom is small and could use an upgrade; we purchased a bath mat after slipping in the tub and bruising my legs.

Cozy cottage right across from the lake

The cottage was cute and in a great location. The kitchen was well equipped and the complimentary coffee and tea was a nice suprise. We had a small hiccup when we first checked in as the property had not been turned over from the previous renters, but Rachel responded promptly and the cleaning service arrived within the hour.

Up North Vacation

This cottage was the perfect spot for us to stay while being at Higgins Lake for a wedding. The 3 bedrooms worked for us as we had my parents and our toddler so all of us had our own separate space. I was a bit concerned about not having air conditioning during a high 80's weekend, but the cottage stayed cool all day and night! Definitely would come back for another Higgins Lake vacation!

Mini getaway

Area was great. House was nice and loved the yard. Great open kitchen and fire pit bbq in the backyard. Water access was very small and no place for my husband and I to sit while kids swimmed. Not huge deal as we drove to the beach daily. (8 mins away)

4 days by the lake

The house was ok, can tell they are working through some updating. Otherwise amenities provided were great. Nice fluffy towels and comfy bedding. You only see a sliver of the lake, but can walk down to a dock at the end of the road. The lake is beautiful! We swam there and star gazed at night. Other than that my only major negative were the barking dogs next door. to the dock down the road
