Fall seeker
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

Great location
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

Wonderful week on the lake
We loved how calm and peaceful this home was; we took many trips to get ice cream, visit the general store, went to Sunapee for a day of summer activities, and relaxed on the sun porch, deck and boats on the lake. Such a great vacation! Thank you!

Relaxing vacation.
I spent a week at Birch Cabin with my adult family. Everything was wonderful and I highly recommend this house. Tom, the owner, was very easy to communicate with and usually answered texts within a few minutes. The theme for the week was "just relax" and that's exactly what we did. Mornings were spent either drinking coffee/tea on the porch or reading in the sunroom. Afternoons brought everyone outside to enjoy the sunshine or take a kayak for a spin. I liked the green kayak and took it twice to the sandbar which is a little bit of a distance but great exercise. Even though the lake was low we were able to bring our speedboat and tie it up to the dock. We also tied up our Seadoo Spark to the end of the dock so there is definitely plenty of room there. The kitchen is well equipped with most things you will need to cook in every night. The dining room table seats 8 and most nights we played Palace and LRC. There are plenty of other games for all ages. Of note there is plenty of parking for 4 cars in 1 spot and truck and trailer in another. Also of note the water at the house is too shallow or weedy to swim, we went around the corner to the inlet in the kayaks or paddleboat and swam there or we went to the sandbar. I recommend water shoes for both locations. Shaws is an easy 20 minutes away for anything you may forget.

Highland Lake Vacation
We had a great time at Toms house on the lake, lots of things to do on the water with a paddle boat, kayaks, and canoes. The fishing was great too. There is ample parking for guests and it is very easy to get to the water. We enjoyed the s'mores and wine left for us. I highly recommend this lake property if your looking for a quiet and relaxing time away.

Very comfortable at the quiet end of the lake.
Tom provided all the information we needed and more. The property is comfortable, clean and offers privacy even though it is surrounded by other summer homes. There is room to enjoy oneself, entertain, or just relax.

Wonderful trip with wonderful hosts at a great location
My family and I booked the birch cabin for a ski trip and it was absolutely amazing. We loved how close we were to the mountains and Tom was there to fix any issue we had! We are already talking about possibly coming back one summer to enjoy the lake!
