True Higgins Lakefront | Dock & Sunrises | House in Roscommon
2 Bedroom House in Higgins Lake, Roscommon
Wake to glass-calm Higgins Lake and sunrise light spilling across South Bay at this refreshed, year-round 2BR/3BA lakefront retreat. Kid-friendly shoreline, a private dock, blackout bedrooms, and high-speed cable Wi-Fi with a dedicated desk make family stays and work-from-lake weeks effortless—then you’re on the water in minutes. Perfect for families and small groups up to 8 who want kid-friendly shoreline, easy boating, four true bedrooms and lots of bathroom space. Your kids will love the featured upstairs loft area facing the lake. Welcome to Sunrise Shores!
Lake life, done right:
Wake in the mornings to the sound of loons on the glass-calm water and the first glow of Higgins Lake sunrises. Sip your fresh coffee on the deck as the sun comes up over South Bay. Higgins Lake offers spectacular sunrises from your own private dock, the shore, the deck, or the dining area facing east. Friendly shore that’s great for kids; sandbox at the water’s edge with toys. Private dock + mooring buoy (seasonal) for your boat. Evenings mean s’mores by the waterfront fire pit, northern lights 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. Adirondack chairs & towels and s’mores sticks are stocked for the shoreline. Grill out on the deck and serve golden-hour dinners just steps from the water!
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. The dock and boat mooring buoy are installed May 1st through October 1st. Higgins Lake winter waterfront: an excellent home base to enjoy the holidays, fish the ice, ride the trails, ski XC. Cozy-up in the evenings by the gas fireplace enjoying cups of hot cocoa!
