Great vacation cottage

Cute cottage. It had most everything we needed. Some outside chairs around the firepit would be nice. A short walk to lake.

Amazing stay as always!

We stay at Cindy's place every year and it's the highlight of our summer! Amazing place to stay with pets and kids. Very close to the public beach and playground. We also love the front porch, so cozy when it's a rainy day.

Close to the beach!!

We love staying a week at Cindy's place every summer. We bring our family and our pets. The playground and public beach are within walking distance! We also made a quick 10 minute drive to Markey dog park to run our dogs each day. There's a cute coffee shop within a 5 minute drive. We also visited the Loom Room, Good Times and South Park Beach. Cindy's place is so close to everything. The screened in porch is the perfect place to drink coffee in the morning. Our kiddos love the bunk bed and look forward to staying here each year. There is a nice picnic table behind the garage and a fire pit out front. One of our favorite trips of the year!

Great little cottage in the woods!

This was a lovely little cottage in the woods, a very close walk to the lake, dog-friendly, and a hospitable host. It was a budget-friendly way to spend time with my sister and her dogs at Higgins Lake. Can't beat that lake!

4th of July at Higgins lake 2021

To start off, the weather was perfect. The neighborhood was very friendly. The cabin was cozy. Plenty of space. Inside the cabin I had to de-cobweb n spray for spiders. Only 1 roll of tp in cabin. 2 bulbs burned out. Could use a shelving unit in kitchen for food we brought up. All in all it was a great time with my family. Thank you Cindy.

Great Location

the cabin was 2 blocks from the lake. At the end of the road you can sit on the dock. We had plenty of room for the 4 of us. The house could use a good deep clean. Over all it was fun and loved the location. We would totally stay here again.

Did what I needed it to. Wish it would of had a fire pit in back instead of the front....it was a few feet from the road. The grill was nice. Overall a bit older and outdated but it worked!

wonderful cabin

We have stayed here before and always enjoy it! The beds are comfortable and kitchen stocked for any cooking /baking needs. The walk to the water is just seconds -so we went down many times during the day easily returning for the forgotten towel or to pack a lunch- as well as the beautiful sunsets in the evening. Thank you, Cindy!

Higgins Lake retreat

Overall the property suited our needs and the owner was very responsive to my questions and suggestions. There is no wi fi as of now, but the owner is looking into getting it for next season. Storage for food is the biggest lack in this property. A few shelves in the kitchen would make a huge difference. There is one queen bed and a bunk bed. We used one of the air mattresses provided for our grandson to sleep on. Overall this property suited our needs to be close to the lake and other family members staying in other cabins nearby. This property is about 3 blocks from the lake and there is a public beach.

Sam-o-Set cabin

The cabin is close and convenient to the lake. It was clean and it was comfortable sleeping for 4. Six was a small issue with the blow up mattress taking up a good portion of the living room. It is your typical "cabin up north." If you have a trailered boat it's a great location for enjoying Higgin's Lake. The owner was very easy to work with and was quick to answer any questions or concerns.
