Great Family Getaway

A lot of items to use on the lake were available. We had children from 18 - 4 years old and they all enjoyed this vacation spot. Close to Traverse City was also a plus.

Lake Life

We had the BEST time spending long summer days in the Lake and beautiful evenings around the fire pit. We loved all the water equipment that was available - we used it all! The surrounding area is full of activities, shops and restaurants! Thank you for the great memories :)

Perfect Family Getaway!

We couldn't have asked for an easier or more perfect stay for our three night visit. We were three families, 6 adults and 5 kids, with plenty of room to rest, relax, and enjoy everything the property had to offer. The kids enjoyed the trampoline and paddle boat and floor to themselves to hang out. We all loved meals and coffee and games on the deck. A great, well appointed home with everything you need. Close to town, and worth a walk to Peegeos tavern (try the charbroiled wings!) Thanks for a great visit. Would stay again!

Great vacation property

4 families stayed here and we had such a lovely time. The peacefulness of the property was great, and lots of places to sit and chat. We used the fire pit almost every night! Being right on the water gave so many options for not getting out. Plenty of activities with the trampoline, kayaks, and boats. Bike rentals close by, and lots of trails. Downtown and shops for Traverse City is about a 15 min drive. Owner met us on sight to make sure all was well. Thank you so much for the stay, and a wonderful place for a family reunion!

Would rent it again!

The house was clean and ready when promised. My husband and I were there with our three adult children, their spouses, and an infant granddaughter. Kurt was communicative upon arrival and checked in with us via email during our stay. The trampoline was awesome! This was a PERFECT house for us. Five bedrooms, three and a half baths, HUGE table for dinner. It comfortably seats 12. The fire pit was great, and again with ample seating. We would definitely stay there again, without hesitation!

Girls Trip

My friends and I enjoyed our stay at High Lake Hideaway. The house was nice and it was clean. The lake is beautiful and it was quiet when we were there. The refrigerator could stand to be replaced. The refrigerator ran very cold. Even when we turned it up as high as we could, some of our liquids began to freeze. The outside decks and stairs need to be painted. An umbrella on the deck would be nice as cover for the morning sun. We enjoyed the kayaks, paddle boat and water trampoline. When we were there in August, the ducks were there too which does affect the small beach area.

Guestbook Comment

Our family has been enjoying family vacations for many years and we have stayed at many places in Michigan. This has been one of the most beautiful and user friendly places we have visited. The owners were so accomadating and helpful. One of the favorite activities of the grandchildren was the water trampoline and rowing across the lake to the well equiped party store. The lake and little beach was perfect for the little ones to enjoy and feel safe. Walks and runs around the lake was a daily activity for the adults as we were walking off all the great meals we cooked on the weber grill. I only hesitated to write this because we want to make sure we get our week next year.

Wonderful Vacation

We had a wonderful time at Highlake Hide-away. The home was exactly as described. The property is large with plenty of room for running and exploring. My daughter loved chasing the chipmunks. High Lake is not a large lake, but we only saw on boat the whole week that was moving fast enough to make a wake. You are allowed to ski/tube/wakeboard, we just did not see anyone doing it. Great fire pit by the lake and a wonderful deck for sitting out and enjoying an outdoor meal. I highly recommend this home to anyone traveling with a large group. It would be perfect for two large families or several small families looking to vacation together.

You get what you pay for

We rented this home as a two family early summer get away feeling the space and amenities would be great for 4 adults and 6 children. For the most part that statement was true, but the house is in need of upkeep. There were multiple light bulbs out, a loose stair on the steps going upstairs, multiple cracked lower quality Adirondack chairs, a leaky old dishwasher, an underwhelming number of forks and usable spatulas, a deck in need of painting, a grill missing a drip tray along with an unusual sign in each bathroom about fishing out whatever goes down the toilets. We reached out to the property manager (in all fairness toward the end of the stay as none of these things were emergent we did not call the emergency number) and did not hear back till after we left. Many of these maintenance issues should’ve been noticed and addressed by a regular walk through or via the cleaning crew and hopefully/seemingly were addressed after the fact. At the end of the day we had a nice time at high lake hideaway, but this is not a perfect or above average rental. My wife’s comment is where I’ll end “you get what you pay for.” Next time we will look to spend a little more…

Comfortable and well stocked.

Out family of 10 stayed a wonderful week. The location was great close to town and the airport but far enough away to be out of the traffic. The kitchen is well stocked and the beds are comfortable. Check-in was seamless. The grandchildren loved the time on the water and the wonderful water trampoline.

Perfect Location for a Holiday Getaway

We stayed in this home just after Christmas. This home is the perfect location to visit so many local attractions. We stayed comfortably with 2 other families with kids ages ranging from 6-17. We hit area attractions such as Mt. Holiday, Shuss Mountain, Hop Lot and a couple of wineries. We got some snowfall during our stay and the kids all went out and sled down the driveway of the home (we did bring some of our own sleds but also found additional sleds in the garage). At the end of the day we all enjoyed playing games in the living area around the natural fireplace. I would definitely stay here again and can only imagine how much fun this home is in the summer!
