About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Only 500 feet from Higgins Lake with shared lake access and dock.

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. 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 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 space 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.

We hope you will make Lady Slipper Lake House your year-round Up North vacation spot!

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.

Everything we dreamed of
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.

friends' weekend
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.

Nice Cottage
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.
