With it being a holiday weekend, I was concerned it might be rowdy or loud, but this section of the lake and neighborhood was calm, quiet, and peaceful. Joan is a great host - kind, responsive, and even had a maintenance person come right away when we mentioned difficulty with the fireplace. Since the fireplace was an extra, this was not necessary, but very much appreciated so that we could enjoy it during our stay! ##### Sarah V.

And this cute cottage is perfect for our 2 families to enjoy our stay. The view from the dining table and the deck table is very relaxing. The lake windows slide open easily for a nice breeze. Fans in the rooms allow those who want to sleep in to do so without any noise. The owner responds quickly to questions. And our kids live swimming for hours each day in the lake. ##### K M.

Sleeping space was adequate. Didn't realize we needed to supply our own bath towels. Didn't see that in the discriptors and our previous rentals supplied them. Overall everyone had a wonderful time ##### Sharon N.

A perfect base for sand-free swimming and sunbathing. Nice sturdy ladder to climb in and out of the water. There is a convenient brick walkway all the way to the dock so you can keep your feet somewhat clean and easier to walk vs thru the sand. The water is really incredible! Unlike any other lake we've visited! We hope to return with more family one day. It was just two of us and our dog but I could see a large family having plenty of room to roam. Beautiful grill and great deck with comfortable patio furniture. Views from inside and out are stunning. Peaceful and quiet. It's especially nice that there is no direct neighbor to the south which makes it feel very private. Neighbors to the north are quiet and seemed like nice people. We're from the Detroit area so on a cloudy day we took a trip to see the bridge and UP one afternoon. Only 1.5 hour drive. Stopped in Petoskey. Beautiful drive. This trip made us fall in love with Northern Michigan! We are regular HomeAway users and I promise that you will not be disappointed in this choice!! ##### Shelli R. Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kellie C. Sep 6, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Paradise Joan is a great host. I communicated with her several times over the past year since making the reservation. We vacationed with my parents. The cabin was big enough for 4 people to feel very comfortable. The cabin was clean and clear instructions were given for checking in and checking out. This location was so PEACEFUL. We have stayed at Higgins Lake a lot over the last two decades and this was our favorite location because it was so quiet. The cabin is right on the lake with your own private beach area and dock. The weather was just about perfect this year and we were on the dock every night watching the sun set. The dock was large enough for 4 adults in their chairs and my large raft. It was amazing. The only complaint was my husband and I stayed in the lower level bedrooms using that bathroom most of the time. There is little room between the toilet and sink. I read the reviews on this so I was aware of that. I understand it would be a major overall to redo as Joan responded to those reviews. Not knocking it because we chose to stay there knowing that information but if you are a larger person or disabled this would be hard to maneuver. It was a much needed vacation after a cancer diagnosis, surgery and treatment for my husband. Great cabin, great location and great people to rent from. The cabin and location are Paradise! ##### Kellie C. Stayed 7 nights in Aug 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Mary H. May 30, 2023 Liked: Location Disliked: Cleanliness, communication #### Not sure how it ever got over 4 stars. Property in disrepair and not maintained. Sink Rusty. It stinks terribly like mothballs all over when arrived. Opened all windows but not able to get rid of in it lower level after a week. Entry door sticks so bad we thought still locked when first arrived. Dead bugs all over outside. Only one tv with cable, firestick on other tvs needed code, not provided, for 95% of all tv shows even free channels. Bathtub beat up, lower toilet installed so close to cabinet only a child could use. Never received instructions about furnishings required to bring. Very disorganized and owner is more concerned with herself than guests comfort. We left two days early. Worst rental we have ever been. P.S. you are instructed to replace everything where you found it, strip the beds, adjust thermostats, clean the sinks, keep the counters free of crumbs, lock windows, make sure dishwasher empty etc. etc. etc. before you leave. ##### Mary H.

We visited S'Hummer Haven in mid-October for a long weekend (Thur - Sun). The view of Higgins Lake is gorgeous from this home/location. Was able to take a chair out on the beach and sit for quite some time enjoying the beautiful lake and blue sky. The fire pit is right on the beach, so it's easy to have your toes in the sand while you sit around the fire pit (and plenty of chairs are provided!). There is a paddle boat and canoe you can use as well if you'd like to venture out into the lake. The home itself is big! Nestled a few homes back on a private, quiet, dead end drive, it's definitely a home where a large family can go and feel comfortable - and everyone can have their own "space" and room. They even had it decorated for "Halloween". One bedroom had a whole wall shelf full of games and puzzles that were fun to use; we were able to play some games we had never even heard of before! Also, if you don't bring your own groceries, there's a little Spartan Grocery Store about 6 miles away called Glen's Market. You can definitely save money by making your own meals in the kitchen instead of going out. Wi-Fi inside was also a plus. I worked with Joan during communications setting up our weekend and making payment. She was so easy to work with and I enjoyed how personable her emails were.. almost like talking to a "friend" via email. The house is exactly as described on the VRBO listing; no surprises here. I would definitely stay here again. ##### D J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kathryn M. Aug 1, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Always wonderful! We love Higgins Lake, and we love staying here. Just a few steps down to the beach, and you can walk WAAAAY out into the water before it’s over your head. The cottage is cozy, and provides all that we need to have a great time with family. The fans in each room are nice for those who like to sleep in and filter out the noise… and the kids always comment on how comfortable the couches are. The big dining table overlooks the lake as you eat your meals. And you can sit out on the deck and enjoy the sunsets. The owner is always accessible and quick to respond to any questions. ##### Kathryn M.
