Private, Cozy, Quiet on double lot near Beautiful Higgins and Houghton Lakes

Higgins Lake was recently voted MSN Real Estate's Top 10 Locations for Boat Owners!

Enjoy this cozy cottage, just a short one mile drive to crystal clear Higgins Lake boat launch.

Our cozy cottage is nestled in a lush, green forest setting, and is one mile from the sixth most beautiful lake in the world, Higgins Lake and just a few miles north of the largest inland lake in Michigan, Houghton Lake. We have local trails to explore for snowmobiles, quads, dirt bikes, ATV's and side by sides just around the corner. Only 4 miles from the 6/7 trail head at the US-127 exit 201 that you can ride to from the driveway. We have a front deck with a gas grill and furniture out back to help you relax and soak up the summer sun! There's a large outdoor table with chairs as well as a picnic table. We have a large double lot with wooded lots on both sides (no close neighbors!) that provide a peaceful private up north setting along with a stone bonfire pit out back for roasting s'mores under the stars. For those rainy days enjoy a game of cards under the cathedral ceiling covered porch out back with a ceiling fan and dimmable LED lights!

Gerrish Twp. park is a local boat launch that is one mile away. It provides docking, boat launch, fishing, picnic area, and much more as you enjoy our Northern Michigan summers. Perch, pike, and trout are among the fish that can be caught in Higgins Lake plus public restrooms and a rinsing station. All is accessible by car.

South State Park and Campground is just 2 miles away which also offers a public beach and boat launch as well as camping.

Local pizza and ice cream from Polar Parlar is less than a mile away as well as Nibbles Ice cream and a fully stocked party store. For more needs theres also a Dollar General.

The cottage sleeps 6 comfortably with option of 8 if double up on the two full beds. We prefer no more than 6 adults, so the 8 would be with a few kids. We've had 3 10 yr old girls sleep in one full bed a few times while there were spare beds available (don't ask me why). A cozy family cottage interior, and offers many amenities to make your stay as relaxing and enjoyable as possible.

With the cottage being located on the south end of Higgins Lake and conveniently located between US-127 & I-75 trips to Traverse City, Petoskey, Cheboygan and even Mackinaw Island are recommended day trips (each within 1.5 hours drive).

Cute & affordable place to stay!
We were happy to find availability here for July 4-7. Very affordable and plenty of property to enjoy. Nice secluded neighborhood. We brought a trailer with a side-by-side & dirt bike and there was plenty of room to park it.

A Great place to relax
We had an amazing stay at the cozy cabin. Our 2 young boys loved the bunk room, and the house was well stocked with everything you may need. The location was fabulous for hikes at Higgins Lake State Park and a nearby nature preserve. We would love to come back in the summer!

This cabin was very clean and comfortable, the neighborhood was really quiet. Mike was very quick to respond when we texted with a question.

Wooded Retreat
Mike offers a comfy, clean, quiet space, and is super easy to deal with. We only could stay a few days, but spent each late evening in the beautiful backyard. There was plenty of room to place our pontoon in the side yard, and the home is an easy drive to gorgeous Higgins Lake and all it has to offer. We would definitely stay here again.

Thank you for being a fantastic host Mike! House is great, location to trails were awesome. The house is well stocked with everything you need. We loved the area and were able to take trails to both lakes on our ORV. Bring peanuts, the squirrels on the front deck are hilarious! :) Steve and Ray
