Perfect Cottage Stay at Higgins Lake
The Bluebird Cottage was perfect for our stay at Higgins Lake. Having visited Higgins Lake my entire life, I can confidently say it remains as lovely as ever. This cottage exceeded our expectations and matched the description perfectly. The short walk to the shared dock provided easy access to the lake, which was a major plus. The rooms were comfortable, and the beds ensured a restful sleep. I was particularly impressed with the bathroom, especially the shower. It was designed perfectly for the small space and felt surprisingly spacious! We also appreciated the proximity to 200 Market Cafe and Country Corners, both of which were convenient for quick groceries and delicious pizza. A special shoutout to Joyce, the homeowner, who was incredibly responsive and kind. When I missed the email about the key location and frantically called late at night, and again when I accidentally locked myself out, Joyce was quick to help both times. Her kindness and efficiency were greatly appreciated. We’re planning to make an annual trip to Higgins Lake for a family reunion, and I would love to stay at the Bluebird Cottage every time!

When we arrived the owner had left us a bottle of wine. We were close to everything. Boating on Higgins lake was very beautiful. Great location with plenty of room for the 6 of us.

Summer Weekend Stay
My family and I enjoyed our stay at this cozy cottage. The location is great and we rented stand-up paddle boards and kayaks at The Store at South Higgins Lake state park which is only a couple miles away. The screened porch was spacious and a lovely space for morning coffee and family dinners. The home had all the essentials including bath and beach towels. We took our tubes for a float and had fresh donuts at a cute café just a short walk down the road. The fire pit hosted s'mores making and faced a wooded area. Higgins Lake is beautiful and perfect for a pontoon or speedboat (we rented a speedboat during our stay).
