Keno Lodge

ShelleyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
This is our fourth stay at Keno Lodge for an annual family gathering. The Lodge is spacious and the accommodations are perfect for a larger group. It is a peaceful, and quiet setting surrounded by wildlife. There are trails in back that are nice for walking/hiking. The kitchen is well-stocked with anything you need. There are plenty of linens in each of the bathrooms. (Recommend bringing your own blankets as the beds only have sheets and a comforter.) There are a number of fans, and space heaters if needed. There is a Pack-n-Play and highchair for little ones. There have been a few new updates at Keno Lodge since our last visit-there's a new upstairs shower, new bunkbeds in two of the downstairs bedrooms, a couple new chairs in the upstairs living room, a new refrigerator in the kitchen and new decor in many rooms. Duane responds in a timely manner to questions/concerns. We look forward to our next trip to Keno Lodge.

*Hot Tub* Houghton Lake Views! 6 BD Beautiful Home

BetsyRating, 5 stars1 month ago
We had a big group, and all had places to sleep. The kitchen-living room area is big and accommodated our whole group for games and watching football. The lake view is amazing, and we were able to walk to several local bars. We had a great time staying here and the host communicated quickly.

The A-Frame at Finch Creek.

BrandonRating, 5 stars3 days ago
We stayed 3 nights and it wasn’t enough. Plenty of dishes and amenities provided for our stay. We loved the quiet secluded lot just minutes from schuss mountain for skiing. Derrik was always quick to respond with any questions we had and very helpful. We were lucky enough to get an early check-in also. I would definitely stay here again.

Golfers Special. Higgins and Houghton Lake area.

DebRating, 5 stars3 weeks ago
We were staying in the area to XC ski - and so the location was great! The driveway was cleared of snow when we arrived. The cottage was clean, cozy and comfortable - in spite of the deep freeze temps for two of the days we were there! Crystal was quick to remedy the situation when one of the coffee makers didn’t work. We enjoyed our 12 day stay.

Captain quarters lake house

JacobRating, 5 stars4 months ago
The house was very well furnished, yard was perfect for a nightly bonfire with friends and family. Close enough to town where you could easily get groceries, fuel, or simple go out to eat with no worry about it being a long drive. The house was located perfectly around multiple trailheads for ORV riding (within 20 mins). The only thing that I can say that was a downside to the rental was the amount of kitchenware. For a cabin that sleeps 10, there were limited plates, bowls, mixing bowls, and utensils.

Perfect Houghton Lake getaway!

AngelaRating, 5 stars5 months ago
The house is on the canal right off the lake. We kept our boat tied up right outside the house. There are a lot of extras. Lucky for us there was an extra gas can because our gas gage started acting up and we ran out of gas in the middle grounds. There are kayaks you can use. There is a washer and dryer, plus a black stone. Lots of room for parking. I loved the king size bed.

Beautiful lake home. Everything is very nice & comfortable. We enjoyed the getaway very much. Loved looking at the peaceful lake. The updates are very tastefully done. Looks like a lot of time invested into every detail. It’s well stocked-lots of games too. Restaurants, stores, ice cream all within 5 miles. Highly recommend for R&R on a big lake. Thank you!

Up North Cabin

AmandaRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We are return visitors at Markus’ place. We always come to snowmobile if the snow and trails are good and they were awesome this weekend. The cabin is super close to the trails making it convenient to ride to them. Ma Deeters was great as always. Markus is flexible and friendly, we love staying at his place!

My husband and son in law stayed at Jennifer’s place for a long weekend for deer hunting. It was perfect for what they needed and the price was very affordable and appropriate for the space and area. They would love to spend next season of hunting there again.

An absolutely beautiful space and amazing hosts. I had the perfect stay with Monica and Gary, they were so friendly and helpful. The apartment is the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in by far, the view from the balcony is beautiful and the lake access is beautiful with a large sandy beach. I will definitely be staying here again when I visit lake city. Also, very comfy beds and a quiet peaceful neighborhood. Highly recommend.

Family Fun House!

ConnieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Great stay, loved the front patio with garage door. Didn't like the fact that we couldn't open any windows for some fresh air. Even if we could, there were no screens on the windows. Very well stocked. Had everything from hair products to condiments that others left. Plenty of towels, linens and blankets. Old small kitchen, but large remodeled bathroom...the place met our needs.

PaulRating, 5 stars3 months ago
Dane’s house is a nice tidy place. Everything you could need and more was there for you. More than we were expecting for sure. Loved the firehouse theme! It was close to the trails and that was great too. We would definitely stay again.

Your guide to Higgins Lake

Welcome to Higgins Lake

This nearly 10,000-acre, spring-fed lake is the tenth largest in Michigan as well as one of the deepest. It’s often named one of the most beautiful lakes in the country thanks to its stunning turquoise waters. The color is due to the lake’s curious lack of plant life. With hardly any algae to muck up the water, it remains clear through to its sandy bottom, reflecting that signature Caribbean blue hue. Just a handful of residents live on Higgins Lake full-time — too few to comprise a proper township. But there is a post office here, as well as a shared sense of community with the rest of Roscommon County. Coupled with nearby Houghton Lake and Lake St. Helen, this trio of county lakes draws tourists for great fishing in their clear waters. Higgins Lake, especially, with its 21 miles of shoreline, is a hotspot for catching perch, trout, crappie, pike, walleye, bluegill, smallmouth and largemouth bass. The only thing that rivals the incredible fishing in Higgins Lake are the awesome sunrises and sunsets over the water.


The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Higgins Lake

Higgins Lake and its neighbors shine in the summertime, but true to the American Midwest, where winter stretches for several months, locals make sure that their longest, coldest season is just as fun. Every February, Houghton Lake hosts the state’s longest-running winter festival: Tip Up Town USA. There’s snowmobile drag racing, an ice fishing contest, a winter 5K race, and a polar bear plunge. July’s Roscommon Riverfest features live music, cardboard boat races, and more. There are even more festivals spread throughout the spring and autumn, when stunning fall color reflects vividly against the crystal-blue lake waters.


Top things to do in Higgins Lake

South Higgins Lake State Park

Split in two by County Road 100, this 1,000-acre state park makes up for its relatively small size with a variety of terrain worthy of exploration. Stretching across a mile of Higgins Lake’s south shore, the park is covered in a dense forest of maple, oak, and pine trees, with a massive, 400-site campground.

North Higgins Lake State Park

About half the size of the southern-bordering state park, North Higgins Lake State Park is located on what was once the world’s largest tree seedling nursery. Check out the Higgins Lake Nursery and the Civilian Conservation Corp Museum to learn about this old-world industry. Eight miles of trails and a popular swimming beach round out the park.

Seasonal festivals

Beyond the draw of the lake itself is the flurry of festivals that take place over the course of the year. From art fests in the summer to multiple Christmas festivals in December, and even festivals dedicated to local birds and fish, Higgins Lake and the surrounding Roscommon County community know how to celebrate.
