Home Highland Lodge Seasons Summer and Fall
Summer-Fall
Caspian Lake

Ours is a rare and special place of childhood memories and warm, lazy days by the lake. Step back in time with us and remove yourself from civilization.

For more than seventy years, guests from afar have been vacationing at the Highland Lodge. Begun as a farmhouse boarding house in the 1920s, the Lodge now hosts guests in 19 tastefully decorated rooms and cottages.

In the main Inn, the handsome lines of the original farmhouse are still evident. The sweeping Queen Anne porch has a lovely vantage of meadow, lake, and hills. Wicker porch rockers and Adirondack chairs entice you to relax in the tranquility of summertime in the country.

Porch RockersFamilies come back year after year to do just that. In July and August the center of children's activities is the morning play program, where Snow Wakeman presides with a magical touch. In the afternoon activity centers around the beach with the whole family.

Highland Lodge nearing Fall Color

In the fall, visitors come from all over the world to see the spectacular fall foliage. Whether you bicycle the scenic roadways, hike the Lodge trails, or drive one of the Cultural Heritage or peak foliage road tours, you will relax and revel in the unspoiled, peaceful beauty of our landscape.

Below you will find seasonal information on fall getaway packages (including one during a peak foliage weekend) and other special fall events.
