Perfect cottage for an Up North escape

We couldn’t be happier with our stay here! We knew Higgins was an awesome lake, but we were so pleased with our cottage. Plenty of space for our entire family/friends group to hang out on the few rainy afternoons and the sandy beach/shallow waters were perfect for our 6 and 8 year olds to play safely!

Cabin in the woods

This home is spacious and away from traffic and noise. There's a wooded area next to the house but not too close. You feel like you're in a rural area. The beautiful lake is the first thing you see each morning. You wade through shallow water, that is crystal clear, few stones and no weeds or grass to walk through as you make your way to deeper water for swimming. Nobody got swimmer's itch. We enjoyed it very much and look forward to returning.

Hidden Gem

This was our second year and it was as enjoyable as the previous year. This is the best location on the lake with the sandy beach, a large shallow area of the lake and absolutely no rocks under foot. Great location for day trips to Mackinaw Island, the dunes & Traverse City or the UP. Provided lasting memories. Beautiful sun rises. Will definitely return again.

Unwind

Our group comprised 3 middle aged couples. We found the Flynn cottage to be very comfortable. No stairs. There's plenty of room to spread out. There were plenty of towles, sheets, dishes, and pots and pans. There was even some staple items provided. We loved the ample parking. The house has a neighbor on one side and woods on the other. The long driveway is away from traffic noise. It was very quiet and peaceful. Our group really needed this and appreciated it so much! We are looking forward to going back next summer.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Flynn

Our parents purchased 'the cottage' in 1956, and we can't fathom giving it up!

Why they chose this property

Could there be a better place for kids to spend their summers? We don't think so!

What makes this property unique

We have so many special & happy memories of spending the day in and on the water, playing board games on rainy days, & roasting marshmallows on the bonfire.
