Three generations hunting together

We had a great stay. My sons and I with my dad enjoying time in the woods greatly appreciated the comfy chairs and beds to come home and get recharged for another day. Great property and an even better host.

Great House!

We love bringing our boat to Higgins Lake and this rental has been a repeat for us! It’s the perfect space to stay and ample space. We usually stay with 4 adults and 4 kids total, and it’s perfect!

Quiet and cozy

We stayed for a mother daughter canoe trip and had a blast. The pictures don't do this place justice. It was very cozy, nice screened in porch, and quiet.

nice stay

Stayed two nights over the 4th and didn’t spend much time at the property. Still, the house and property were great and plenty of space and a pretty quick drive to Higgins Lake. Would stay there again. Thanks!

Loved this house! It was very clean & well stocked. Chris was easy to get in touch with & made sure everything was good for our stay. He emptied our trash, shoveled the walkways & even left us a nice little welcome treat. Would definitely stay again & highly recommend.

Great place for family overflow

We have family in the area but needed more space and this property filled all our needs. Plus, it was great to get away from the rest of the crowd. If you know the area, this is very convenient to anything within an hour away, even Boyne Mountain, Gaylord, Traverse City and, of course, Higgins Lake and Houghton Lake

Great place to stay

Location was perfect for our fly fishing trips. House was very clean and had a well stocked kitchen. We enjoyed sitting out on the front porch watching the sun sets. Would recommend this listing to other travelers. Chris was very responsive to our questions. We appreciate the owners making the house available to us.

Will be back

We stayed for 2 nights to enjoy a weekend on Higgins Lake. We had 2 families including small children and fit comfortably. The house was very clean and setup well for an easy and comfortable stay. There is a nice screened in deck in the back and a fenced in yard. The host communicated very well. I would definitely recommend this property.

Home away from home

Went up for my brother's wedding and rented this home. It was the perfect setup for me and my family. My husband and I had our 2 adult daughters and our 2 granddaughters with us. We didnt spend much time at the home but the time we did was amazing! So peaceful and relaxing. I will definitely look at staying here again if our travels take us back to Grayling area!
