About this property

750 sq ft Lakefront vacation home with kitchen, patio, and picnic/ fire pit area

As of August of 2023 this property has new owners that are hoping to continue providing the same amazing vacation experience to our renters!

Listing Information:
Lady Slipper Lake House is only 500 feet from Higgins Lake! We share a seasonal dock with other owners on Lady Slipper Lane. In the summer you can use the dock to access the lake to swim, fish, and other water based activities. In the evening, fire up the gas grill, grab a glass of wine and enjoy a campfire in the backyard with our newly constructed fire pit, six adirondack chairs and picnic table. In the winter, it is just a stone's throw away to enjoy ice fishing and snowmobiling on Higgins Lake.

Lady Slipper Lake House is located 2 miles from South Higgins Lake State Park where you can launch your boat in the summer and 1.8 miles from the Cross Country Ski Headquarters from wintertime cross country skiing. We are located an hour and a half from Mackinaw City and Harbor Springs, the start of Michigan's "Tunnel of Trees". It's only a few minutes to state land for hunting, or to enjoy hiking trails around Marl Lake. Within a 30 minute drive you can reach the beautiful old growth forest of Hartwick Pines State Park, and as well as world class fishing on the Ausable River. Boyne Mountain resort for winter skiing and tubing is one hour away as well.

There are two bedrooms and and one full bathroom (shower only). We can accomodate 6 guests with one queen bed, one full bed, and two twin beds. The house is cooled in the summer by two window units (living room and bedroom) and heated in the winter by a forced air furnace.

Pets are welcome for a fee, but you must include them in the VRBO reservation.

We offer free Wi-Fi to our guests and a smart television so that you can access your Netflix or other streaming accounts. Live TV is available through our smart TV's "Youtube TV app". You can also bring your favorite DVD movies to play on our DVD player.

The kitchen is stocked with dishes, glassware, pots/pans, silverware, dishtowels, dish soap, sponges, paper towels, and various cleaning supplies. Toilet paper, shampoo, soap, hairdryer, towels, and washcloths are also provided. As an extra convenience, we offer a complimentary coffee and tea bar.

We hope you will make Lady Slipper Lake House your year-round Up North vacation spot!

friends' weekend

We have stayed in this cabin for several years and this year was just as nice as the past years. The cabin is so comfortable and had everything we needed. Melanie the owner was very helpful and made sure to check in with us. Since we had no snow for skiing, we spent our time shopping in Gaylord, taking walks and eating at different restaurants in the area. Eating at the Beechwood Cafe in Roscommon is a must! Amazing food and awesome staff. This cabin is awesome and hope to be back next year.

Nice Cottage

Great location and really nice house and location. Keep in mind you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom so great property for families or groups but not ideal for two couples unless one couple likes sleeping in separate beds.

About the host

Hosted by Melanie Obrigkeit

My husband and I live in Northville, MI which is about 2.5 hours South of Higgins Lake. We have two teenage boys and all four of us love the outdoors whether it is skiing/snowboarding, hiking, fishing, kayaking or sailing. We love the location of this cabin as not only a retreat, but a home base for many year round activities and hope you enjoy it as well!

Why they chose this property

We love the Higgins Lake area for it's "Up North" feel that is within 3 hours of the Detroit Metro area. Higgins lake is BEAUTIFUL in the summer and fall, and some even consider it the best ice fishing lake in the winter! Everything our family enjoys doing is found within an hour of this cabin: from the closeness of the lake, to fantastic crosscountry and snowmobiling trails, to great hunting and fishing nearby. Boyne Mountain Resort is even an easy day trip away for downhill skiing, snowboarding, tubing, and it's indoor waterpark
