Higgins Lakefront Charming Log: 2 Bedroom + Loft

Situated on one of the worlds most beautiful inland lakes, a 1927 Original Log Cabin. Rustic feel with lots of charm. Everyone that visits falls in love with our cozy cabin. It sits on a nice deep lot in the pines and there is dirt road that runs over to Birch Lodge. Perfect setting for families with kids to ride bikes and have room to play. The ice cream truck even visits during summer. Our neighbors are friendly and down to earth. Nice deck overlooking the lake and fire pit lakeside. Location is close to Lyon Township Hall and Library, Silver Dollar Bar, Westside party store and St. Hubert's Catholic Church. Within 1.5 hour driving distance you can head to Traverse City area or Mackinaw City. A little closer, you can head to Grayling, Houghton Lake or Roscommon for groceries, restaurants, movies, etc. Hartwick Pines State Park can be found East of Grayling and Marl Lake is a quiet spot to Kayak. There are bike trails, ORV trails and a new paved bike path near the North State Park. The best part is getting out and enjoying beautiful Higgins Lake. B and B Marina has boat rentals, kayaks, wave runners, sailboats, paddle boards and even yoga on the boards. There is yoga on the beach at the South State Park on Saturday mornings. The listing shows 2 bedrooms and a loft. One small bedroom is located off the living room and the stairs to the loft are located in this room. If you have guests staying in the loft, they will need to access this room. Please note the loft has limited head room. Also, the 2nd bedroom is located in the back next to the bathroom. This is not a typical bedroom - there is no door, but rather a curtain divider. It does not offer the same privacy as having a hard closable door would. There is an entry door into this space in addition to the utilities behind a divider.

The beach front has a small cement retaining wall with sand on the water side. You would not be able to pull a boat or jet ski up on the beach due to this wall.
