Cozy Cabin by the Lake
My wife and I stayed at this very nice and well-kept cabin near the lake for our summer vacation. Nice location close to the lake with convenience store, restaurants, and hardware store nearby within walking distance. Very well stocked with all the needed amenities (towels, linens, blankets, pillows, etc.) Quite comfortable and a very positive experience. Would definitely recommend!

Cozy Weekend Getaway
If we could, our family would give this cabin 6 out of 5 stars! The furniture was nice and complimented the nature around us, and we were walking distance from Higgins Lake. Blair was readily available when needed, and treated our family with respect. We felt very welcomed as guests.

Best vacation we ever had
We rented Blairs cabin/home for 1 week July 1st thru July 8th 2024 this was our best vacation we ever had, my brother and his g/f joined us for 3 days and this was her 1st ever vacation, it was a hit!
Our host Blair communicated with us promptly and answered all our questions. We found his property to be very relaxing, very clean and comfortable.
The insidevof his cabin/home is filled with beautiful antiques which made our stay very enjoyable.
Blair did go above and beyond our expectations. Our accommodations were the best we ever had. Id recommended staying here at anytime for a great vacation.
Thank you Blair and your family for your generosity and great time. We'll never forget our stay!

Family Vacation
We had a good family trip staying at Blair's cabin. It was about 2 blocks from kelly beach on higgins lake. We were able to walk to beach and launch our pontoon boat there. Also south higgins lake state park was short drive. Cabin was clean and had plenty of space for my family of 4 and my parents even joined us 2 nights. It had a washer and dryer for clothes, air conditioning, and a grill which were all a plus. And the location was great would definitely stay again.

good location, but owner was almost always there
This house has a great location for walking to the public beach and seeing the clear water of Lake Higgins. The owner was quite available to help if there was any issue, but we were uncomfortable after realizing he was staying on the property in his camper and there was no inside lock on the cabin door. As a woman, I felt uncomfortable knowing that there was not a deadbolt on the door, with a man with the code sleeping about 50 yards away. We also saw mice several times around the fireplace and could hear them quite loudly as night. We left one day early due to feeling uncomfortable staying there. The VRBO said there were 3 bedrooms, but there were only 2 bedrooms, although a family room had a futon.

Quiet neighborhood good for walking and running. Travelled to Traverse City and Mackinac Island easy to get to. Used B&B Marina for the Higgins Lake rented a pontoon absolutely a beautiful lake.

Great stay
My husband and I come up often in the winter to fish, we'll definitly be adding this home to our list of favorites. We are from the Ann Arbor area and since Blair knew we didn't have a long ride he allowed us to check in early, which is awesome. The house is cute and has all the comforts of home, plus you can't beat how close it is to the lake. Blair was easy to reach and quick to reply when we did have questions. Thank you again for opening up your home, we're glad we picked your home this stay and hope to stay in the future.

Winter getaway
We enjoyed our stay at Blair’s place. It had unique charm, hot water, comfy beds and a place to relax for the weekend. The location is a close walk to the water and to the XC ski headquarters- although it was way too cold to walk! We enjoyed a meal in nearby Grayling, as well as a great time cross country skiing. I would highly recommend checking out the Beard and the Bird Market around the corner. I Would stay here again with friends or family any time.

Tasteful and Cozy - Close to Lake and Water
My Husband and I enjoyed a getaway weekend to this cozy cabin near Higgins Lake. Blair was a wonderful host, quick to answer all of my questions and provide recommendations to help us make the most of our weekend. The check-in process was very simple. The cabin was clean, well stocked (linens, cooking supplies, etc) tastefully decorated with plenty of room for a few friends or family members to join if you choose. The weather was a bit chilly so we were unable to enjoy the lake, however, the beach is a quick walk from the cabin. For chilly days like ours, there is a fireplace in the cabin and a firepit outside. Roscommon is a close 5 mile drive, where there are cute shops, restaurants, etc. Bob's Butcher shop and Fred's of Roscommon are a must to visit. The cabin is not far from trails if you have an ORV that you wish to bring with you. I would definitely recommend this cabin. We plan to return next year with our ORV's or Boat. :)
