Unforgettable Winter Fun: A Family Vacation Guide to Higgins Lake with Kids

As you step into our Higgins Lake cabin, you can feel the warmth and coziness that only a mid-century modern coastal chalet can provide. Surrounded by the serene forest and with lake access just a stone’s throw away, Winter-Chard Lake Forest Chalet is the perfect destination for a family vacation. Imagine waking up to the sound of birds chirping and spending your days swimming, kayaking, or simply lounging by the crystal-clear waters of Higgins Lake, one of the clearest lakes in the United States. Our chalet is designed to bring the outdoors in, with large windows that let in an abundance of natural light and stunning views of the surrounding forest.

As a family, you’ll love the abundance of activities that Higgins Lake has to offer. From swimming and water sports to hiking and biking, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. And when you need a break from the sun, our chalet is equipped with all the amenities you need to relax and unwind. The kids can spend hours playing games, reading books, or watching movies, while the adults can enjoy a glass of wine on the deck, taking in the breathtaking views of the lake. And with Traverse City, Mackinac Island, and Grayling just a short drive away, you can easily explore all that northern Michigan has to offer.

But what really sets Winter-Chard apart is the sense of togetherness that it inspires. Imagine gathering around the fireplace on a chilly evening, sharing stories and making memories that will last a lifetime. Or picture a family dinner, cooked up in our fully-equipped kitchen and enjoyed together on the deck, with the sound of the lake lapping gently in the background. Our chalet is designed to bring people together, and we’ve seen time and time again how it can become a home away from home for families just like yours.

As the day comes to a close, you can drift off to sleep listening to the sound of the wind rustling through the trees, feeling grateful for the time you’ve spent together as a family. And when you wake up the next morning, you can do it all again – or try something new. At Winter-Chard, the possibilities are endless, and we can’t wait to welcome you and your family to our little slice of heaven on Higgins Lake. So why wait?
