Cozy modern 4 bedroom, 10 min walk to beach&sunset

JenniferRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
My family and I stayed here for a Memorial weekend. We were able to relax and unwind in the beautiful house and yard. We loved the wood supply for outdoor fires and the kitchen for the ability to cook 2 dinners and all breakfast meals in it. We appreciated the comfort of the house and the quietness of the neighborhood

Wood Haven Lodge

BethRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We had a wonderful time on our stay at this cozy cabin. It's a big win among the younger (13-11yo) family members. A "must stay here again" was the consensus. A great place to stay with a country feel. Comfortable sleeping and sitting areas. Nice little kitchen perfect for quick meals. Large bathroom and great decor throughout cabin. Great outside games available to keep the family busy.

Log Cabin with a view Paddleboat-Kayaks- Gameroom

JenniferRating, 5 stars1 week ago
The harrison house was the most wonderful lake house stay ever! We came with four adults and 2 kids and a service dog. The home was perfectly appointed and exactly how it was described in the description. They added so many wonderful touches to the place like homemade muffins upon arrival. It was decorated perfectly with modern appliances and conveniences. The beach was sandy and perfect for the little ones as well. The game room was awesome for the half day rainy day we had and the living room was cozy and spacious. Dawn the host was so very kind and communicative throughout our stay. We made some core memories here this week and are so very grateful.❤️

NEW! A~Frame on The AuSable River

JulieRating, 5 stars3 months ago
The chalet is beautiful, even in the winter. We were able to kayak the river and fish, even in the snow. This is now my son's favorite stay on Airbnb, and now I wish I had a chalet home, nice design and very spacious. The interior is decorated very nice and has every convenience and impeccably clean. You won't regret your stay, excellent value, and we hope to return. The host, Darlene, was in touch with us a week ahead of time with concern about the possible road conditions which turned out to be good. There was two feet of snow on the ground, (very pretty time of year by the way), Darlene had the parking and walkways shoveled free of snow, and she also made sure our check in and stay went smooth. Thanks again, The Janiks

A cozy gem on Sapphire Lake

JanetRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Jessica and Pamela's place was exactly as described - but better. There was nothing that felt like a 'second place.' It's very clean. The furniture is nice and comfy. The appliances, dishes, cookware, flatware are top-rate. A large Kerig coffeemaker with either a pot or pod as options (filters and pods are provided - I always wonder). The outdoor furniture is great. Kayaks and a paddle boat are available. We brought a small fishing boat, the lake is clean and quiet - there is a loon's nesting area! It's very peaceful, so many birds to be heard. Jessica and Pamela were very responsive. We had a bit of a hic-up (our fault) as we got situated and the communication was immediate. I would HIGHLY recommend their place and hope to be back. PS: the Blue Heron restaurant in Cadillac was excellent (closes at 2pm).

Perfect Houghton Lake getaway!

AngelaRating, 5 stars9 months ago
The house is on the canal right off the lake. We kept our boat tied up right outside the house. There are a lot of extras. Lucky for us there was an extra gas can because our gas gage started acting up and we ran out of gas in the middle grounds. There are kayaks you can use. There is a washer and dryer, plus a black stone. Lots of room for parking. I loved the king size bed.

Cozy Cottage of Lake Lure *No Cleaning/extra Fees*

PaigeRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had a great last minute one night stay. Wish we could have stayed a bit longer. The lake is peaceful and stunning. Kayaking at sunset was the highlight of our overnight stay. We really appreciated the pellet grill. Our dogs loved the yard and hanging on the dock. The cabin was cozy, clean and we felt right at home. Would love to come back in the future for a longer stay! Thanks for sharing your property with us.

We had an awesome weekend stay at Higgins hideout. Tara, was an amazing host. She was very hospitable, and quick to reply with any questions we had. The property was as beautiful as described, inside and out. Not to mention the convenience of the state park/boat launch being only a couple minute drive! We will definitely be back!

Tiny House Higgins Lake, Au Sable, Golf, ORV, XC

PriyaRating, 5 stars6 days ago
I was very new to this part of the country. So I needed to adjust. But this little house was a great place to do that. Nice bed linens, clean kitchen and bathroom (although small), nice backyard to enjoy peace and quiet. I didn’t use the canoeing / rafting place nearby but I would have liked too. It would be great if an outdoor hammock or rocking chair was added

ErinRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Jillian and Tim's place was beautiful and right on Houghton Lake. It was clean and the sunrise was gorgeous. We were barely here because we had a baseball tournament in West Branch, but it was a very cozy spot to sleep and seemed like a great place to spend a weekend on the lake!

THE LOOKOUT on Houghton Lake

Beautiful view of the lake. I enjoyed watching the thunderstorm roll in on Friday night. Unfortunately our trip was cut short due to an emergency back home. Rosann was very understanding of the situation and credited us for 1 night.

Cozy Blue Cabin at Higgins Lake

CatherinRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago
We spent most of our time at South Higgins State Park for a Family Reunion during the afternoons. Mornings were awesome with the peaceful woodsy scenery. We spent the later evenings chillin at RACHAEL'S relaxing and watching a movie. The decking and Firepit were such great features! We would defiantly stay again. Warmest Regards, Cathy & Mark

Your guide to Higgins Lake

Welcome to Higgins Lake

This nearly 10,000-acre, spring-fed lake is the tenth largest in Michigan as well as one of the deepest. It’s often named one of the most beautiful lakes in the country thanks to its stunning turquoise waters. The color is due to the lake’s curious lack of plant life. With hardly any algae to muck up the water, it remains clear through to its sandy bottom, reflecting that signature Caribbean blue hue. Just a handful of residents live on Higgins Lake full-time — too few to comprise a proper township. But there is a post office here, as well as a shared sense of community with the rest of Roscommon County. Coupled with nearby Houghton Lake and Lake St. Helen, this trio of county lakes draws tourists for great fishing in their clear waters. Higgins Lake, especially, with its 21 miles of shoreline, is a hotspot for catching perch, trout, crappie, pike, walleye, bluegill, smallmouth and largemouth bass. The only thing that rivals the incredible fishing in Higgins Lake are the awesome sunrises and sunsets over the water.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Higgins Lake

Higgins Lake and its neighbors shine in the summertime, but true to the American Midwest, where winter stretches for several months, locals make sure that their longest, coldest season is just as fun. Every February, Houghton Lake hosts the state’s longest-running winter festival: Tip Up Town USA. There’s snowmobile drag racing, an ice fishing contest, a winter 5K race, and a polar bear plunge. July’s Roscommon Riverfest features live music, cardboard boat races, and more. There are even more festivals spread throughout the spring and autumn, when stunning fall color reflects vividly against the crystal-blue lake waters.


Top things to do in Higgins Lake

South Higgins Lake State Park

Split in two by County Road 100, this 1,000-acre state park makes up for its relatively small size with a variety of terrain worthy of exploration. Stretching across a mile of Higgins Lake’s south shore, the park is covered in a dense forest of maple, oak, and pine trees, with a massive, 400-site campground.

North Higgins Lake State Park

About half the size of the southern-bordering state park, North Higgins Lake State Park is located on what was once the world’s largest tree seedling nursery. Check out the Higgins Lake Nursery and the Civilian Conservation Corp Museum to learn about this old-world industry. Eight miles of trails and a popular swimming beach round out the park.

Seasonal festivals

Beyond the draw of the lake itself is the flurry of festivals that take place over the course of the year. From art fests in the summer to multiple Christmas festivals in December, and even festivals dedicated to local birds and fish, Higgins Lake and the surrounding Roscommon County community know how to celebrate.
