Cottage holiday rentals in Higgins Lake

Responsive and hospitable, Gorgeous lake views, great accommodations, including hot tub, bicycles, kayaks, fire pit, renovated kitchen. Private and peaceful. Easy access to downtown Ell Rapids.

Omg, I don’t have the words for how awesome this place is. First, it is exactly what you see in the pictures and more. Second, it’s not far from anything and third, it’s so peaceful. I could get lost in pure bliss there. Weather I was in the hot tub, the porch, at the table on the deck, the fire pit, the dock, or even just sitting on the beach collecting rocks. Absolute Heaven. I’ve even told the rest of my family that next time we go to Michigan, we’re going to Traverse City and we’re staying at this house. Absolutely amazing. Thank you so much. Thank you!

April was an awesome communicator. We loved the place. I highly recommend it. The jacuzzi and wildlife watching was wonderful.

We had a great time at Torch lake. Ryan was a great host - very responsive who left very good instructions, recommendations for restaurants things to do in the area. The home is very clean and well supplied. The pontoon is very nice.

Even with cold, rainy weather, we still had the best weekend staying here! The cabin is so cozy with everything we needed, we felt right at home. Being right in the water was fantastic, especially enjoying the view from the hot tub on the colder days. If you're in the area I would highly recommend staying here!

House was exactly has depicted. We enjoyed sitting on the back patio watching the fishing boats and enjoying beautiful sunsets. The hot tub was also nice. The house has plenty of towels and the kitchen had everything we needed.

Great home and peaceful/private location! My family and I had a wonderful stay. Lots of space in the backyard for the kids to run around and for the adults to have a fire/sit around and chat. Super clean inside and had everything that we needed. Close to the Lakes of the North clubhouse (pool) and beaches. Would definitely stay again!!

Spent the weekend for a Bach party, was beautiful, looked like photos. Kathleen was the nicest and made everything so smooth. Will definitely be coming back

We had a fantastic stay at this wonderful cottage! The space was clean, cozy, and incredibly well-organized, with a kitchen that was impressively well-stocked with everything we needed. The location was absolutely perfect for exploring Houghton Lake, Higgins Lake, and the surrounding area—close to everything, yet peaceful and relaxing. Nicole and Matthew were extremely responsive and helpful, making everything smooth and stress-free. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the area!

Michelle is a fantastic host!!! She is very kind and strives to provide a comfortable and beautiful home for guests to stay in. We really enjoyed having the two separate sides of the cottage, and the overall space was awesome for us. It was nice to have both indoor and outdoor seating. The water is so close, and it’s a great neighborhood to walk in. Thank you for the very enjoyable experience!

Wow... Such a beautiful spot to wind down. Came for my husband's birthday weekend and we couldn't have asked for a better spot! Sarah was super sweet and helpful. House had ALL the amenities we needed too. We COOK on trips due to food sensitivities and the kitchen was very well equipped! House was spotless and very charming. Located on a beautiful large lake. We would certainly come back in a heartbeat!

This house was exactly what we were looking for. Directly on the lake with an area for our kids to play, a dock to enjoy and an awesome porch and outdoor firepit. The house was very clean and had all cookware and basic items we needed. Great place for fun with the family or just go relax and unwind.

Ben was able to accommodate my last minute stay and I’m so appreciative! I was hoping to get away from the city and enjoy watching the lake with my partner and pup. We were obsessed with the sunroom, multiple board games/puzzle available, watching movies and just catching back up. The lake is still a bit chilly which worked for me because nobody else was out and about! It was such a peaceful, calming trip and I would definitely come back.

This is an amazing property with a remarkable view over the lake. It is a very tranquil location and it is easy to feel close to nature. The cabin is very well appointed and was perfect! The host was incredibly responsive and easy to communicate with. Overall a five star property and experience. Highly recommended!

Gorgeous view from the living room and deck. Master bedroom mattress super comfortable. Ceiling fan in living area and master great addition. Loved sitting in at the table in the sunroom since it was a bit chilly to be on the deck. Three local owned restaurants we went to had fantastic food. I already talked to friends about the place and hope to go back again this summer.

I wish I would have booked my stay for longer, and I had this place booked for two months. The privacy and views here and around, are unmatched and for the rates it is a no-brainer. There are trails within minutes and plenty of places to set off in a kayak or canoe. Lakes galore. Plenty of fun summer activities. The hosts were very kind and polite, and spoke to me like I was a person rather than a tenant for any amount of time. Best AirBnB experience I have ever had. Thank you guys. Hopefully I can make it back again sometime

Beautiful peaceful place , private and easy to find , clean, neat . I loved it only suggestions is bring spray for the nats inside they were annoying it was better sitting outside no bug problems. Lol 😆 🤣

We had such an amazing time staying at Nancy’s cottage! Beautiful view of the lake and we had such a nice weekend. There were plenty of beds for everyone to have space and we loved the classic cottage lake vibe :) the water was amazing and refreshing. thanks so much !!

This place was beautiful. She had everything we needed and then some.we really enjoyed the kayaks and beach. The kids loved swimming right off the beach. Quiet lake. Would definitely come again. My only complaint would be that it didnt seem like the a/c was working upstairs while we were there so it got a little toasty. Other than that, we had a wonderful experience.

Awesome place to stay if you want to hit the trails right from the driveway! It was also nice to be able to walk across the street to the bar for food and drinks. I will definitely be staying here again

The home is perfect for a family with children. Very clean, everything was great! I recommend to everyone! We will definitely come back here 🙂

Stayed here for one night , close to lots of trails for our dirt bike and side by side, bedding was clean and comfortable , had ac unit in master bedroom which was great and in living area ( during our stay it was 93 degrees outside ) . Fire pit was stacked with wood so we were easily able to make a fire , driveway was BIG so we were able to pull our truck and trailer in. Also had a decent size yard and about a 2 minute walk from the lake. Would stay here again

100% recommend! This is our family’s 4th summer staying here. We absolutely love it! Our group ranged from a 3 yr old to a 50 year old, including our teenage son and young adult daughter. The neighbors on either side were friendly and helpful. Our family enjoyed swimming, fishing, paddle boards and the fire pit. It is the perfect summer get away!

This cabin was a fairytale. The oxygen here is so fresh we don’t even know how to breathe without all the dirt and smog like in Las Vegas. You MUST shower in the outdoor shower. That is a bucket list item you didn’t know you needed. The entire property is so well stocked. There is a movie room with a giant projector for movie night with the kids. The finished garage is a perfect hang out. There are fishing poles, a heater, bluetooth speakers, extra fridge and washer and dryer. We opened the garage door and got all that oxygen while playing games and hanging out inside. The owner was so kind when we couldn’t figure out how to put the magnetic curtains back up on the garage door. Outdoor dining table with 6 or 8 chairs, fire pit with brand new chairs that even have a wine glass holders. More chairs at the sandy beach. Nice dock with lights at night. The kids loved the dock and raft that is floating out there. They practically lived on the raft all weekend. We will definitely be back!!
