About this property
Only 500 feet from Higgins Lake
750 sq ft Lakefront vacation home with kitchen, patio, and picnic/ fire pit area
Listing Information: Lady Slipper Lake House is only 500 feet from Higgins Lake! We share a seasonal dock with other owners on Lady Slipper Lane, but no overnight moorage is allowed. In the summer you can use the dock to access the lake to swim, fish, and other water based activities. In the evening, fire up the gas grill, grab a glass of wine and enjoy a campfire in the backyard with our fire pit, six adirondack chairs and picnic table. In the winter, it is just a stone's throw away to enjoy ice fishing and snowmobiling on Higgins Lake.
Lady Slipper Lake House is located 2 miles from South Higgins Lake State Park where you can launch your boat in the summer and 1.8 miles from the Cross Country Ski Headquarters from wintertime cross country skiing. We are located an hour and a half from Mackinaw City and Harbor Springs, the start of Michigan's "Tunnel of Trees". It's only a few minutes to state land for hunting, or to enjoy hiking trails around Marl Lake. Within a 30 minute drive you can reach the beautiful old growth forest of Hartwick Pines State Park, and as well as world class trout fishing on the Ausable River. Boyne Mountain resort for winter skiing and tubing is one hour away as well.
There are two bedrooms and and one full bathroom (shower only). We can accomodate 6 guests with one queen bed, one full bed, and two twin beds. The bedrooms were just renovated and one bedroom has a queen bed and the second bedroom has a set of twin bunk beds and a full size bed. If you need to work remotely there is also a desk in the bedroom with the queen bed. The house is cooled in the summer by window units (living room and bedrooms) and heated in the winter by a forced air furnace. Additionally, there are wall heaters in the bedrooms to make sure you are warm and cozy on cold Michigan winter nights.
Pets are welcome for a fee, but you must include them in the VRBO reservation.
We offer free Wi-Fi to our guests and a smart television so that you can access your Netflix or other streaming accounts. Live TV is available through our smart TV's "Youtube TV”app.
The kitchen is stocked with dishes, glassware, pots/pans, silverware, dishtowels, dish soap, sponges, paper towels, and various cleaning supplies. Toilet paper, shampoo, soap, hairdryer, towels, and washcloths are also provided. As an extra convenience, we offer a complimentary coffee and tea bar.

Everything was perfect. The owner was very nice and made sure we had everything we needed for our stay. Would recommend staying here. Close to the lake. We will be going back in the future
Wonderful cottage, cozy, had everything we needed for an awesome stay. Quiet block, walk to the lake/dock. Location is fantastic, a quick drive to Houghton Lake where there's lots of restaurants, stores, all you need. We will definitely be back!
The cottage is amazing. So cozy and welcoming! The location is perfect. A walk up the street to the lake. The host is so sweet and is available for any questions or concerns. Very clean cottage, well stocked with everything you will need. We will definitely be back!
The property was exactly as described in the listing. Check in and check out policies were really clear and easy to follow, and the cabin itself is super cute! All the benefits of a rustic woodsy getaway with some thoughtful creature comforts like great internet and streaming available. The host, Melanie, is a great communicator and had some excellent recommendations for local attractions!
Cabin was cute and well equipped. Walk to water was short and access was perfect for our paddle boards. We enjoyed our evening at the backyard fire pit and played games at the picnic table under the string lights.
The cabin was great for us, my husband and teen daughter and our two dogs. The layout of the cabin was fantastic and the outdoor space was magical!!! We walked down the street to the dock and enjoyed the view in the evening. It is great for swimming. The cabin was easy to find and close to a market for supplies. The neighbors were very friendly. We enjoyed cooking out and a fire in the evenings. We can't wait to visit again.
Great location and really nice house and location. Keep in mind you have to walk through one bedroom to get to the other bedroom so great property for families or groups but not ideal for two couples unless one couple likes sleeping in separate beds.
The cottage was very nice. It was clean and had everything we would need to make our stay comfortable. Owner was easy to reach . Had a wonderful vacation .thereBBandavailaneedifwhehquestions.
Fantastic place. Great location . Clean and cozy. We had some issues and had to bring our dogs at the last minute. They are wonderful people to rent from, so understanding. We are long time renters and will always return here.
We have stayed in this cabin for several years and this year was just as nice as the past years. The cabin is so comfortable and had everything we needed. Melanie the owner was very helpful and made sure to check in with us. Since we had no snow for skiing, we spent our time shopping in Gaylord, taking walks and eating at different restaurants in the area. Eating at the Beechwood Cafe in Roscommon is a must! Amazing food and awesome staff. This cabin is awesome and hope to be back next year.
Our stay at the Lady Slipper Lakehouse was amazing. The house was located only a short distance down a peaceful road to the lake. It was nice to walk past the other cottages as we approached the fresh morning beauty of the lake. The house itself had everything we could need with all kitchen and home amenities. Our young girls loved sharing the spacious room with two separate beds in it. The property was perfect including a nice backyard firepit area complete with a bundle of wood on the house. We were so happy to bring our dog to enjoy the vacation with us and are grateful for that.
Exploring the area led us to South and North Higgins State Park which had great beaches for us and the dog to enjoy. We also visited the model train museum, the Roscommon Zoo and the Gahagan Nature Preserve.
All in all an amazing trip, thank you Melanie and Matt for letting us stay at your home.
