Accommodations were everything represented in the listing plus some! Property/house details excellent, including listing of bed firmness. Entire house exceptionally clean, showers, sinks, beds, all linens, kitchen, floors! Kudos to owner’s great communication, recommendations for activities, grocery, even fishing! Kitchen was stocked with every type of cookware supplies someone could possibly want. Jim notified us in advance dishwasher went on the “fritz”. He purchased an array of paper products and dish washing supplies. Another over-the-top effort, Jim even offered to pick up and wash dishes daily. There was more entertainment in the house than we had time to enjoy. Jim and Maggie were terrific and we’d return to their home again. This house was an outstanding find for our adult group of friends. Do be cognizant at top of 2nd floor staircase as step are different heights. They are well lid with handrails. No issues for any of our group, just an awareness. Again, a grand VRBO house. D/M Hicks

10 80yr women celebrating 60yrs of friendship stayed in this amazing house for 3 nights. The owners thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Two bedrooms on the first floor and enough beds for everyone to have their own bed and all were very comfortable. And a dining table we could all sit at was important! Communication with the owners couldn't have been any better! Love this house!

Out of all of our vacation rentals by far this stay could not have been more perfect. The house is well appointed with lots of amenities - just perfect for our three generation family vacation. The hosts, Jim and Maggie excelled at making our family feel welcomed. They’re very responsive and take great pride in their rental. They also go above and beyond.

The Best!
We were in town for the burial of our father (grandfather, great grandfather) and we wanted a place where we could all stay together. The house was perfect!Everyone had a place, the kids loved the game room (as did the adults when the kids weren't playing.) The adult children played games in the evenings from the impressive game closet. I stay often at VRBO's and this one was the most well stocked of any that I have stayed! The hosts always responded quickly if we had any questions. I simply have no negatives, only superlatives! Great house!

Annual Cousins Gathering
We have been vacationing together for more than 25 years. This year we were booked on Anna Maria Island but Helene and Milton changed our plans. We found Highland Lodge and all agreed, we were meant to be here. The long weekend was a perfect getaway in a great house with hosts extraordinaire, Jim and Maggie.
The home is one of the best we've stayed in - beautifully and comfortably appointed, well-stocked from kitchen spices/supplies to toothbrushes in the bathroom, to games and books. It feels like the owners are friends who invited us to stay in their home. They even left a box of fresh doughnuts from a local bakery on the kitchen table! The location is central to wineries, Ashtabula, Geneva on the Lake - all have great restaurants, shopping, activities, and easy access to transportation.
We highly recommend Highland Lodge and Jim and Maggie as hosts!

Great hosts and attention to details
We had a great visit to Geneva on the Lake. Our group included 12 people ranging from a 5 year old to an 86 year old. The master suite was pretty amazing. The host stopped by when we had some questions operating the fire table outside, which was really nice for them to stop by. We mentioned we would be doing a lot of cooking for 12, and the host dropped off a large pot for us to borrow. They also had an electric skillet and 2 extra side burners to use. They had a lot of kitchen items which was very helpful; they even had 2 waffle makers (which we used). There was a stand-alone ice maker but it had trouble keeping up with the demand. I’d recommend bringing some ice cube trays if you’ll need a good amount of ice. They provided a lot of outdoor games and a nice porch with a fire table and overhead lights. Inside they provided a ton of board games. The large kitchen table was very helpful to see all the guests. The extensive selection of coffee and creamers was very useful, and there were treats provided at check-in (nice surprise). Lastly, the kids bedroom with 4 twin beds was awesome for the kids. The attached game room was perfect for them to hang out while the adults hung out downstairs.
Cons: There are 5 bedrooms upstairs with only 1.5 bathrooms upstairs (both small). The stove is getting old and some of the knobs are loose, so it is a little tough cooking on the stove.

A perfect 5-star stay in a peaceful neighborhood close to everything!
What an unforgettable experience! Jim and Maggie's gorgeous house nestled in a nature-filled, serene neighborhood provided a perfect escape for our family retreat.
Within minutes of the lake, strip, beach, grocery store, harbor - there was something for everyone in our group of 14 and pup. Just want to hang at the house? Indoor games, outdoor games, books, you name it. We played baseball in the giant yard, had dance offs in the game room, and managed a puzzle or two on the sprawling table while overlooking pine trees. Ended every night watching fireflies and reminiscing by the fire.
Jim and Maggie are amazing hosts. They were responsive and incredibly accommodating, ensuring that our stay was perfect in everyway. From the handwritten note and goodies when we arrived, to the lightening fast replies when we had questions.
The house is immaculate with amenities that go beyond typical for VRBO or even posh hotels. The attention to detail with the decor and furnishings made it feel like a true home away from home. Need ice? There's a ice machine. Cooking in? Kitchen has everything - and it's all labeled. Cooking out? Grill and pizza oven are spotless. Have a chill? Grab a soft blanket. BBQ sauce on your t-shirt? Throw it in the wash. I could go on and on and on.
Whether your looking for a peaceful or active retreat, this is the place to be for top-notch hospitality and relaxation.
Just book it, you won't regret it.

An easy five stars!!
We recently celebrated my sister’s upcoming wedding at Jim and Maggie’s VRBO with a group of 16, and it was an absolutely perfect experience. From the moment we arrived, Jim and Maggie couldn’t have been more welcoming, making us feel right at home. The property is a solid five stars!
The house was well-stocked with everything we needed, including an abundance of dishes, an ice machine, and outdoor games that kept everyone entertained. The property itself is stunning and offers a sense of privacy that made our stay feel even more special. Jim and Maggie’s attention to detail was evident with thoughtful touches like donuts upon arrival and plenty of shampoo, conditioners, and toothbrushes in case we forgot our own.
The beds were firm and comfortable, ensuring everyone had a restful night’s sleep. The location was also ideal, with a short drive to local wineries and Geneva-on-the-Lake, which added even more enjoyment to our trip.
Overall, Jim and Maggie’s VRBO was the perfect spot for our celebration. We couldn’t have asked for better hosts or a more beautiful property. Highly recommend for any gathering or special occasion!
