House worked out perfect for 14 adults coming in for a wedding. Perfect location to get to the Barn at Higgins where the wedding was held.Clean, sandy bottom, shallow lake perfect for wadingFirepit location was a bit wonky. On a hill and too close to the lake to sit anyone on that side. Did not stop us from cramming in around it though.We lost power 2 nights on our 7 day stay. 11:30pm-5:30 am and then 9:30pm-1am. N.ot sure if that is a common thing or not, We were there in mid Sept and weather was perfectPlenty of supplies in the kitchen.Plenty of fans provided in the rooms too.We worked with Jennifer and she was very prompt and helpful.

Great family lake house

Located convenient to South Higgins Lake State Park boat launch ramp. Ample seating both lawn and interior. Every amenity was thought of - gas grill, covered porch with picnic table, dinnerware, cooking, bath and beach towels etc. The dock is perfect for enjoying the shallow sandy entrance to the lake. Our family of 9 had the best lake rental experience.

Cabin is definitely “rustic”. House was not clean, mold in showers & faucet, bugs found on sheets in loft bedThe main issue is the host, she saw that we had purchased “damage protection” for our trip and used it as an opportunity to falsely claim that we damaged things we did not so she could submit an insurance claim (ie we took a leaflet out of the dining room table to fit a booster seat and she filed an 1000 claimed saying we broke the entire table when she just had to put the leaflet back in). It’s obviously that host hasn’t been to her own property in a while because she depends of house cleaners to update her on the status of her homeBeware of all the positive reviews, the house definitely didn’t meet description, beds were uncomfortable and host was aggressive after checkout and gave wrong information about docking boat.Neighbors are definitely not happy being next to a rental propertyGreat access to water though
