Real living. Real fun.

At Highland Lake, the natural world invites you out to play, listen, move, observe, wonder, dream. Gardens and farm animals call you to remember the relatedness of life, the miracle of growth. Here you live, move, and have your being among earth's riches-the cool, clear waters of the lake, the rolling fields and greeny woods, the clucking chickens and spry goats, the sharp aroma, snap and crackle of an evening campfire.

Move and stretch to the meditative rhythms of yoga, splash in the pool, toss horseshoes. Follow the "teacher, teacher" call of a chestnut-sided warbler along a trail, fish from a canoe far out on the lake, wander among the garden's lettuces and lacy carrots, discover a private, tree-shaded nook where you can read and crunch an apple.

Cultivate your spirit, nurture your body, and envigorate your mind in the real world of Highland Lake.
