We had a fabulous time at this property. We have a long association with Highland Lakes and know and love it well. There are five lakes in the community, and this home is on the largest of them. There are no speedboats allowed, and that makes the lake much more relaxing for swimming, kayaking and canoeing. The lake is quite a vertical distance down from the house, so be aware that you must climb quite a few stairs and steps up and down between the dock and the house. Since the terrain is steep, there is no "lawn", but we spread out on the roomy deck.
The home is well-equipped. They had nearly every kitchen tool that we could have wished for. Linens were all provided, including some beach towels. There is a nice big gas grill. There are games and books. The washer and dryer work well.
We were short on a few items, but we called the local caretaker and she came by and resupplied us generously.
There are two plastic-type boats - I would not call either of them a canoe. We did not try them. There is an old rowboat. We brought our own kayaks. They provide life-vests and paddles.
We were there as a family group of seven - three sisters and family. Another two sisters were housed nearby and we shared several meals - plenty of room for all of us.
There is another rental home next door on one side, and the home on the other side may one day be available so that my extended family can all stay near each other some day in the future.
We used all three bedrooms, the futon, and an air mattress to accommodate the 7 of us very comfortably. It was nice to have two good bathrooms for our group.
The parking area can squeeze six or seven cars if you work at it, but 3-4 vehicles is much easier. Consolidate/minimize vehicles if possible.
We enjoyed lots of time together on the deck, the dock, and the water, plus walks around the lakes and trips to Warwick (winery, shoppes). We hope to stay at this property again in the future.
