Winter Waterfront—Ice Fishing, Trails 3 mi!

Wake to glass-calm Higgins Lake and sunrise light spilling across South Bay. This true lakefront 4BR/3BA retreat sleeps 8 and was refreshed in 2023 with guest-friendly upgrades: fully stocked kitchen, high-speed cable Wi-Fi, air conditioning, plush bed & bath linens, and blackout shades in every bedroom. Step onto the lawn, pass the pedestrian footpath, and you’re at the shore—dock, shoreline play zone, and room for the whole crew to spread out on the large, tree-buffered lot. Welcome to South Bay!

Sleeps & layout (4BR / 3BA):
BR 1: Queen + ensuite • BR 2: Queen • BR 3: Full Murphy • BR 4: Queen. Three full bathrooms keep mornings easy; a dedicated desk makes remote work practical.

Lake life, done right:
Friendly shore that’s great for kids. Private dock + mooring buoy (seasonal) for your boat. Sandbox at the water’s edge with toys. Evenings mean s’mores by the waterfront fire pit and a sky full of stars from the dock!

Cook, gather, unwind:
A chef-ready kitchen (full cookware, bakeware, prep tools) plus coffee provided, and basic oils & spices. Open living/dining gives the kids space to play upstairs while dinner simmers. Quality bed linens, fluffy bath towels, and a propane grill make it easy to settle in. Beach chairs & towels and s’mores sticks are stocked for the shoreline. Grill out on the patio and serve sunset dinners steps from the lake!

Four seasons of fun:
Summer boating and tubing, crisp-air hikes, and nearby ORV/snowmobile trails. We’re open year-round with plowed access—bring your tip-ups for ice fishing or plan a snowy sledding day. The lake delivers in every season!
