Apparently, they felt it was perfectly ok for their children to continuously run back and forth on the floor only taking a break to jump on the beds. When we alerted front desk of problem they immediately took care of it. Unfortunately, the problem began again at 9pm and we had to alert them again. They again took care of it immediately.

It's close to home and we prefer this hotel over the larger waterpark hotels because it a fraction of the price. I can see my kids anywhere in the water park from the adult hot tub😁 because it's not over crowed with toys and loads of people. The hotel is right on the water so we always book the room with the lake view and at night we open the glass door to hear the water while we sleep., by Jamie, October 5, 2015, rated 10/10 Excellent ### [River Country Motor Lodge](https://www.expedia.com/Grayling-Hotels-River-Country-Motor-Lodge.h11593288.Hotel-Information) ![A residential building with a brick facade, a front porch, and a blue staircase.](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/12000000/11600000/11593300/11593288/b75b2e71.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=357&h=201&p=1&q=medium) - Location: Grayling - Review: Room was very cute and also very clean!, by Anonymous traveler, June 27, 2021, rated 10/10 Excellent ## Find out more about Higgins Lake ##### Weekend Getaways in Higgins Lake Weekend getaways in Higgins Lake are a popular short-break option for couples, solo travelers, and groups of friends looking to relax, explore, or enjoy a change of scenery without extensive planning. Couples can enjoy relaxed experiences such as dining, scenic walks, or cultural activities, while solo travelers can explore flexible itineraries that balance sightseeing and downtime. If its a group trip, explore social, entertainment-focused experiences that fit into a short trip. Weekend travel generally peaks on Friday and Saturday nights, with a slightly quieter pace on Sundays, making it an ideal window for quick, refreshing breaks. ##### Reasons to book a Weekend Getaway in Higgins Lake Weekend getaways in Higgins Lake are a popular short-break option that offer a simple way to recharge, break from routine, and make the most of limited time, providing the chance to experience a new place without needing extended time off work or other commitments. ##### Where to stay in Higgins Lake For a 2–3 day stay in Higgins Lake, the best areas are usually those that keep you close to key attractions and transport links so you can make the most of a short visit. Central neighborhoods are ideal for easy access to landmarks, dining, and nightlife, while waterfront or scenic districts offer a more relaxed break with memorable views. Well-connected areas near major train stations or airports are also practical choices, making it simple to move around efficiently without wasting time on travel. Different neighborhoods can also suit different travel styles. Central and entertainment-focused areas often work well for couples looking for a mix of dining and a lively center, while solo travelers may prefer well-connected districts that offer convenience and flexibility.

City hotels in well-connected areas are ideal for convenience, with transport links that make it easy to get around. For a more relaxed pace, residential or quieter neighborhoods provide a calmer stay while still keeping the city within easy reach. Full-service hotels are also a strong option for groups, with flexible room setups and amenities that support shared, short stays. ##### Best time to go for a Weekend Getaway in Higgins Lake The best time for a weekend getaway in Higgins Lake is usually during shoulder seasons, when weather conditions are pleasant and areas are less filled with tourists, creating a more relaxed travel experience. Weekends outside major holidays and local events also tend to offer a better balance of availability and comfort, making it easier to enjoy the destination at a comfortable pace. In terms of booking, confirming a stay a few weeks in advance often provides the best choice of hotels and locations, while more flexible travelers may still find good options closer to the weekend during quieter periods. Friday and Saturday nights are typically the most popular, so planning around slightly less busy weekends or adding a Sunday night can sometimes improve both value and availability. ##### Tips to save on a weekend getaway in Higgins Lake 1. Travel during quieter weekends Choosing weekends outside major holidays, events, or peak travel periods in Higgins Lake can often lead to better rates and more availability across a wider range of hotels. 2. Stay slightly outside the main areas Hotels in well-connected but less central neighborhoods are often more affordable, while still keeping attractions and dining within easy reach. 3. Be flexible with hotel type and room choice Opting for standard rooms or business and city hotels instead of premium or boutique stays can help reduce costs without sacrificing comfort. 4. Compare package deals for better value Weekend getaway packages that bundle hotel stays with flights can often provide better overall value than booking each element separately. ##### Why book with Expedia?
