Excellent, much needed getaway
The cottage is very well maintained and we had everything available (kitchenware, towels, etc) to make our stay enjoyable. We especially enjoyed the screened in porch and the firepit. Joyce was a pleasure to work with and very accommodating. ⭐⭐⭐

When we arrived the owner had left us a bottle of wine. We were close to everything. Boating on Higgins lake was very beautiful. Great location with plenty of room for the 6 of us.

Summer Weekend Stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location is great and we rented stand-up paddle boards and kayaks at The Store at South Higgins Lake state park which is only a couple miles away. The screened porch was spacious and a lovely space for morning coffee and family dinners. The home had all the essentials including bath and beach towels. We took our tubes for a float and had fresh donuts at a cute café just a short walk down the road. The fire pit hosted s'mores making and faced a wooded area. Higgins Lake is beautiful and perfect for a pontoon or speedboat (we rented a speedboat during our stay).
