Highland Lake Waterfront home perfect for family, fun, outdoors, and S’Mores!

This is our third time staying at Tom’s house and everything was excellent as usual. We love the location because while we can easily access the main part of the lake, in this area it’s very quiet. Boat traffic is minimal, mostly kayaks, which makes for a very relaxing vacation. Kayaks and paddles are provided and I recommend paddling around that area, it’s very peaceful. While swimming right off the beach is a little weedy, if you just swim out about 20 feet you will find yourself in clear very chilly water. It was refreshing. I recommend hanging out by the waterfall, you can’t see it from there but you can hear it, it is a great place to just chill. For wildlife we saw 3 otters swimming by, turtles sunning themselves on rocks and loons teaching their babies to dive. Inside the house is great, plenty of room for 6 adults, plenty of couch space and a good size dining table for family meals. Morning tea is to be enjoyed on the backed deck or the screened in porch. We definitely look forward to staying again.

This is the 3rd or 4th year we have stayed here. We loved every minute of it. It is so peaceful and quiet - just what we need for a vacation. Hope to be back again next year!

My adult family spent another great week at Birch Cabin. Everything we needed was right there and we were able to enjoy a relaxing week. The addition of air conditioners in all the bedrooms was a nice bonus this year. Everyone slept comfortably. We never get around to making the s'mores that Tom leaves for us but we do enjoy the individual parts, chocolate and the fudge stripe cookies he provided this year. We brought our boat and jet ski again this year and was able to tie up both to the dock. My favorite part is the kayaking to the sandbar. Highly recommend the green kayak, it is the most comfortable. Going to try and book again for next year.

House was clean and comfortable. Plenty of room. Lots to do. Kayaking, fishing, outdoor and indoor games and fire pit. Owners very nice, easy to communicate with, available and made sure everything was ok. Everything we needed was there. Relaxing and fun.

Our 3 generation family enjoyed canoeing and kayaking on the lake. We cooked meals and gathered around the large dining table nightly for dinner and games. The screened sunroom was ideal for reading and relaxing. The only disappointment was that the lake is too weedy to swim off the dock, and the local beach was for owners only, no renters. The AC in the bedrooms made sleeping comfortable.

My wife and I spent the week and loved every minute of it. So peaceful and quiet! Daughter and family came up for a couple of days and the kids has a ball!! Hope to stay there again. Thank you,Tom and Julie

We enjoyed our stay very much. We did not use the water activities due to weather, but we went for the cool tempertures and fall leaves. Tom is great and available for any questions. We had no problems, but felt that if we did Tom was within reach. There was wood to enjoy a fire which was very nice. Next time we will need a few more days. Lynn

Me and my family stayed and would definitely stay again it’s on a nice quite cove on the lake. There is and brand new dock perfect to bring your boat i looked for reviews about boats fitting at many rentals on highland with not much info but my 24 foot bow rider had no issues fitting or with depth here at his dock and still plenty of room for the kids to swim when docked

Only issue was Central AC was listed and there was none

We had a great week of sun kayaking and relaxing The house was equipped for lake activities and the house for fun with games. Very enjoyable
