We loved our stay on High Lake. It is our second year in a row on this lake and we enjoy our time there immensely. The house was extremely well stocked and comfortable. The kids loved the downstairs area, the sandy beach and swimming in the water. I'd recommend this property to anyone and would certainly stay again myself.
Diana met us and introduced us to the lodge, kitchens were well stocked with all the paper products. Bath towels provided were more than enough, everything is super stocked for a large group! The beach area, docks, kayaks, paddle board and paddle boats are an amazing bonus! Bonfire area on the beach is complete contentment! If you need to unwind and spend some quality time with family making memories, High Lake Lodge is the place!
Location is amazing, great for a big family get away, lots of space, very clean and organized. Worth every penny. My whole family had a wonderful time and would book this location again and again.
Enjoyed the sandy beach, kayaks, swim raft, paddle board,pedal boat and fire pit. Appreciated the large deck with 4 tables, ample paper products and calm, quiet lake close to Traverse City.
We had a great time, there is plenty of room, the cabinets were stocked with all the paper products, towels, soap, shampoo… everything you need. We loved it! The lake is clean, the kids enjoyed swimming and fishing.
Our family of 16 (8 adults, 8 kids) had a nice long weekend fishing, swimming, and playing inside and out. The place is much nicer than the pictures suggest.Thanks for offering up your place for us to stay.
The 5 days we spent in this house were a blast! we built memory, and we will look to rent that place again for sure.
The lake is gorgeous, and the house offer lot of opportunities.
You can book the place with no hesitations!
Very clean house with everything you could ever need. Beach was great for the kids. We caught a lot of fish from the lake. Pizza place was the best but kids like it. Close to grocery store and the city. Would stay again!

Beautiful location, the lodge is nice and kept up.
I would recommend this place to everyone, we had a great time! The lodge is kept up well, plenty of appliances and dishes. The basement is a perfect place to hang out and play games. Diana was very helpful and polite. Great spot for a family vacation.

Thank you very much for your great review! Also for the great condition you left the Lodge in. Very much appreciated! We hope you can all visit again sometime.
Beautiful indoor and outdoorspace.something for everyone. Easy access of lake, fire ring, plenty of space to hang out, as wellas amenities and close by Cherry Festival. Loved owners availability for questions. Very positive experience!! BLESSED
House was clean, owner is very nice! Location is perfect. Like 15 mins from downtown traverse city. There’s a great restaurant within walking distance of the house (peegios). House actually looks nicer in person than it does in the photos. Listing could use some updated pic’s because they really don’t do it justice.
Our family spent a long weekend at High Lake Lodge. It was our third time visiting, first time in the fall. The house was very clean and a perfect place for our large family to spread out. We took day trips to Sleeping Bear Dunes and Grand Traverse Lighthouse. In the evenings we relaxed in the basement and made some good family memories. Thank you Diana!

Thank you for being a return guest Andrea! And leaving the Lodge in great order! See you in August!
We had 6 adults and 7 kids all together for a family vacation. Plenty of room and a great location on a small lake. We rented a water trampoline for the week, and it was a huge success! We spent every afternoon and evening playing in the lake/on the beach, playing board games and making smores around the campfire. Memories made for sure!!

Great place
We stayed over Memorial Day weekend. Had a group of 14 in town for the marathon. Couldn't have been happier with the house. Plenty of room for everyone to sleep. Private lake. Again, the pics do not do the house justice. We would def stay again if ever in the Traverse City area. Thanks Diana.

Thank you for the great review! We're happy you had a great time and will return! Have a great year!
We enjoyed our stay here! Not far from town at all! We did wish there were more actual beds due to 4 adults having to sleeping on the full in the basement and a pull out couch! Those weren’t very comfortable so they slept on air mattresses by the end of the week! The other 2 queens were comfortable. It was nice to have 3 kitchens and be able to split the families up! Also nice have an area in the basement for the kids! Beautiful view and the kids really enjoyed fishing and swimming!
Our weekend at your house was more then we could have imagined or expected. The house was delightful and felt very comfortable and homey. It had everything we needed. Old friendships were rekindled and new friendships made. We will definitely be visiting your home again. Thank you!! 😊👌💕

Great place!
Five friends and I stayed here in late August, 2013. Everyone was very impressed with the house. High Lake is a quiet, peaceful place to relax, and with two docks plus boats to enjoy there's plenty to do by the water. The layout of the house is ideal for multiple families and when it's time to go inside the basement is set up perfectly to entertain a group. There's also a large deck with plenty of seating and a very nice grill. Nearby we found a great pub and a park with trails. Downtown Traverse City isn't too far off. I highly recommend High Lake Lodge and hope to return next year.

Perfect relaxing vacation for our family
Our family spent 10 days at the High Lake Lodge and had a great time. The house was perfect for our family of 8 - everyone was able to spread out in their own space. The house is nicely decorated with very modern applicances. We enjoyed using the grill and kitchen to cook many of our meals. There was a nice grocery store just a few minutes away. From the teenagers on down to the baby, there was something for everyone to do - kayaking, fishing, playing in the sand, swimming, sitting around the fire in the evenings. High Lake was the perfect size for the older kids to kayak and swim around. We are thankful for the wonderful memories we made and hope to come back again next year!
