Second Stay Did Not Disappoint!
This is our second 4th of July at what my toddler has labeled “the green house”. We spent one morning watching a fawn resting in the woods and a rainy day playing games in the living room! Our favorite thing about this house is how comfortable the beds are and how sturdy the couch and kitchen furniture is! We love how close it is to our family cabin at the lake and the Dollar General!

Nice house in the woods. Very close to Higgins lake
The house was overall nicely updated and was a nice place to stay. I was not aware going into it (maybe I should have been) that the house did not have air conditioning and that they have some portable units in the house that have to drain into buckets and be emptied. That would be the only complaint.

Great rental house
This was a perfect rental house for our family. We attended a wedding nearby at The Barn. Enjoyed going to South Higgins Lake beach about 4 mins drive away. Dollar General is just outside of the sub if you need to grab something you forgot. Nibbles ice cream is also close by.
The place is clean, well taken care of and the owners are great about communicating with you. We will be back!

Loved the cabin, it was very clean and nicely appointed. Bryan was very responsive and kind. We loved the property and neighborhood. We saw lots of deer including a pair of fawns with their mama. It’s a great place for kids and adults alike. We also loved being so close to south Higgins state park! Highly recommend.
