About this property

LARGE SANDY PRIVATE BEACH RIGHT OUTSIDE YOUR DOOR, WITH A BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF HIGGINS LAKE!!!

CLOSE TO FLAG POINT, MOOR YOUR BOAT ON OUR PRIVATE BEACH. LOTS AVAILABLE FOR PARKING.

Come stay with us on Higgins Lake, the 6th most beautiful lake in the world according to National Geographic. Our cottage is private, it's on 1/4 acre of land with 160 ft. of beach frontage, we have boat mooring and lots of parking. We're on the southern part - "small lake" It's the most sought-after area because of its calmer waters, the sandy beach and shallow waters loved by families. We are across from the South State Park, a short drive from our cottage. We have a dock and a patio with patio furniture, picnic table, hammock, and loveseat swing. Our local convenience store and two great restaurants are in walking distance. All bedrooms have views of the lake, we have knotty pine walls in the dining room, sitting room and family room with wrap-around windows facing the lake; a small library of books and videos; games; Our cottage has a real "up north" feel- it's rustic, full of character and very comfortable. It's been in our family for over 80 years. It is not a modern cottage, but we include many conveniences for your comfort (see amenities) and we keep it very clean. We will greet you when you arrive by phone (available for those who want this service!) and be your personal concierge about Higgins Lake and the surrounding areas. This cottage is a great value for those who are looking for rustic, or those who want to pass on the higher costs of a fully renovated cottage which commands resort pricing. Our cottage is very well taken care of, and it has a wonderful layout both inside and out including lots of land. Wifi is included. Please send us AN INQUIRY for more information. Please do not initially send a Request to Book. Ask us anything about our cottage, property, etc. and we will be happy to answer all your questions. Also, please send us some information about the adults and children who you are traveling with and about your vacation. We want to make sure this is a good match for us, and also a good match for you and your family and also for our family-minded neighbors. We want you to have a wonderful vacation. Thank so much for reading about our cottage. We hope to hear from you. We are owners that care very much that you enjoy our home as much as we do. Warmly, Wendy and family PS We have discounted fall and spring prices and are open to negotiating on our summer prices when we have days that are not filled, so be sure to ask!

The stay was wonderful. As advertised, the house was rustic but had everything we needed. Wendy was easy to work with and kind. Our toddlers did great in the house and on the beach. We highly recommend this home for your vacation.

A truly wonderful week

The cottage was exactly what we expected and we all loved it. We had all the conveniences of home with the beautiful view of the water. Couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate our 65th anniversary with all our family with us. Wendy is a blessing to communicate with and does everything she can do to make sure you have a great vacation in her family cottage. We very highly recommend and hope to return next year!!!!!

The Iconic Up North Getaway

If you are looking for the iconic up north experience, we strongly suggest Wendy's place. Wendy's family home offers the perfect mix of rustic-ness and modern amenities that made for a memorable trip. The property is as advertised, i.e. private drive right on the water that offers amazing sunrises and sunsets. A short drive to downtown Roscommon for all needs and groceries. The home is a well cared for 80 year old gem that is warm and welcoming. While it carries a rustic feel (wood floors, classic cabinetry, stone fireplace) it also has all modern needs for comfort. There is no A/C...but do not worry. Our week was a record heat wave (90 plus) and we were still comfortable at night with a fan or two (2 adults, one infant). As for Wendy, she goes above and beyond as a host. Prior to the stay her guidance was invaluable (saved us $400 on a pontoon rental). After the stay, her follow up was impeccable. We did have two power outages due to weather. Although technically not her responsibility, she checked in on us regularly and helped us navigate a late dinner. We hope to return to Wendy's home again...we believe you will enjoy it as much as we did.

Beautiful views!

Our stay at the cabin was an amazing experience! Sitting by the water and dipping your feet in by the dock was the perfect vacation. Wendy also made things very easy and was very communicative. Anything we needed she was on it! As mentioned in the description, this is definitely a cottage feel, but we knew that going in and actually prefer that! Also, make sure to reach out to Load and Go Rentals for kayaks for your trip. They drive them over and will leave them with you allowed for tons of time on the water. Will be staying here agon

About the host

Hosted by Wendy Leopold

Welcome to our cottage that has been in our family since 1939. My mom was 8 years old when she and her family began spending summers here and I have been coming up for summers my entire life. We love our cottage and its rustic feel. We are looking for families who will treat our cottage as their own. We purposely are not modern, but we keep our home very clean for all our visitors and our wish is to help you have a memorable vacation.

Why they chose this property

We love all the memories our extended family has had and continues to have over the last 80 years.

What makes this property unique

We love the rustic up north feel of our cottage. Where we are located on the lake. Being able to walk down paths, walk to a nearby store, and that our part of the lake is shallow for a ways going out so all the kids in our family just love being able to walk out into the lake really far! And how soft and sandy the lake is, how clear the water is.
