Highland Lodge

Love this place!! The food and beverages are first rate. The location is gorgeous and a perfect escape from life’s hustles. Immediate access to cross country skiing is another reason to visit. The lodge is dated but clean and well kept. While is doesn’t have all the modern amenities we love it just as it is

Great food. Great atmosphere and wonderful people behind it. Dog friendly, local food, and beautiful views of the lake. Definitely recommend the cocktails - especially the bees knees!

Loved our stay here.....got a last-moment table for trivia, which our family had never done before. Such a wonderful experience to arrive in such a remote place, that was full of life, excellent food and cocktails, and many laughs. Can't wait to visit again!

Our 3 nights at Highland Lodge came at the end of a 12 day trip, and I wish we could have stayed the entire 12 nights - it was the highlight of our vacation! The entire staff was welcoming and made us immediately feel like we were part of the community. This place is special! From the warm, delicious breakfasts, to the comfortable, but modern rooms, to the coziest beds, to the delicious cocktails and food - and the amazing setting and grounds and beach access. Just a 5 star place all around tucked into the hill above Caspian Lake. Absolutely cannot wait to return - what an incredible place.

We were very impressed with the Highland Lodge. We were able to stay in a cottage that had our surname on it, which was super special. Everything about the Lodge is quaint. The area is beautiful, and so restful. If you want something out of the normal, the Highland Lodge is where to go. Hosts are very accommodating.

Great historic inn with owners who care about the whole experience of their guests. This was my 3rd visit. Incredibly quiet, and at night you can hear loons and other waterfowl on Caspian Lake, and coyotes calling across the valley. Nice trail brings you to a great swimming spot on the lake. The food is excellent, and bar atmosphere is cozy.

We stayed in one of the winterized cabins and LOVED it! It was cozy, relaxing and great access to cross country ski trails. The breakfast and dinner were delicious, with a large array of options for all. Elsa and Chad are wonderful hosts telling us where to find the good snow, helping us arrange dinner reservations and making us feel welcomed! Can't wait to return!

My husband and I had our wedding weekend there, and I cannot rave enough about the Highland Lodge!

The lodge itself is amazing. We had booked the whole weekend for our friends and family (and were reimbursed by each family member/friend), and it was amazing to know that the lodge was filled with all of our people who were surrounding us in love! The lodge has a bunch of great cabins to stay in, which offer privacy and some space for downtime, as well as adorable rooms and a lot of sitting areas for chat and gathering. We made use of the fire pit and game room as well.

Elsa and Chad were phenomenal hosts! They were communicative throughout the whole process. We had our rehearsal dinner at the lodge and were able to have such a lovely experience, including a last minute change to come inside because temperatures were cold! They helped us out, were always friendly, and very laid back! We had our after party at the ski hut, and it was all set up and ready for us when we returned from our venue -- they even had a fire going for us!

Overall, I could not more highly recommend Highland Lodge. It is a beautiful town, the lodge has fabulous views of the lake, and the managers are amazing.

Unfortunately, I don't have any photos of the fabulous dinner and cocktails my husband and I had. Elsa was fabulous! She knocked us out with the vodka-spiked blueberry lemonade for starters, then we had the spinach & artichoke sticks as an appy - creamy and gooey and amazing! Dinner for me was the beet green salad (pickled goodies and a very tasty blueberry dressing) and scallion/spring pea ravioli, lemony and buttery. Yum! My husband had the arugula salad and the special - rack of lamb with quinoa. Portions were perfect, and our meals couldn't have been more perfect. We plan to go to Margarita Monday at least once this summer. The staff was amazing (thank you Elsa for the friendly conversation and your bubbly personality). All were friendly and very accommodating. Best meal out in a long time - it was perfect!

We had the pleasure to stay at the Highland Lodge in June of 2023. Elsa and Chad were so accommodating letting us find room for our trailer that was housing our 2 motorcycle's. We found our room upstairs in the main house so cute and charming. The next morning we enjoyed a complimentary free breakfast made just like mom would have done. We will be back for sure.

The Highland Lodge is where we decided to get married this past October, and it couldn't have been a better decision! Meeting and working with Elsa & Chad was a pleasure from the beginning. Elsa was extremely helpful in so many ways, from assistance with lodging for our guests to perfecting the apps/dinner menu on the wedding day itself. Their attention to detail truly helped everything go off smoothly throughout the weekend.

The property itself is beautiful. A quaint Vermont lodge with several living rooms, sitting areas, bar/restaurant which all provide a warm environment to gather with friends, family or others on vacation. In addition, the cabins on site are equally amazing. They all have porches and nice views of Caspian Lake. We were fortunate to have some very warm weather for the first couple of days, so we took advantage of swimming in the lake and using the canoes/kayaks that are available for the Lodge's guests.

The entire staff at the Highland Lodge helped to make our overall experience exceptional. They were very much on point throughout the weekend, and we can't thank them enough for making it happen. If you're looking for an authentic and incredible Vermont experience, look no further than the Highland Lodge in Greensboro!

My husband and I got married in Greensboro in September and had everyone stay at Highland Lodge, in addition to hosting the welcome party and farewell brunch there. Elsa, Chad, and the HL team did an incredible job! The rooms, cabins, and common areas are cozy and rustic but well appointed; the food is wonderful (get the mac and cheese!); the bar has great local beer on tap; and everyone on staff is kind and attentive. The team went out of their way to make sure we had what we needed, be it breakfast delivered to the bridal cabin or a bonfire waiting when we got back from the wedding reception. Elsa was also a joy to work with throughout the planning process. Despite the fact that it was cold and drizzly all weekend, everyone had a great time—which says something about how special this place is.

As a wedding photographer, I love any and all excuses to travel into the Kingdom, but whenever I get a chance to document an event at Highland Lodge I'm that much more excited. Their space is both cozy and stunning, especially in the fall when the surrounding foliage is at it's prime. I love taking folks down to the beach to capture golden hour portraits on the water, and their private access beach on Caspian Lake is an absolutely magical spot. I highly recommend Highland Lodge for hosting weddings and elopements! Their service is top notch and everyone I've worked with there is amazing.

This is such an amazing place to come as a weekend get away but it’s not nearly enough time. Come alone, a romantic getaway or a family vacation either way it’s amazing time. The lake is beautiful and the cabins are quaint. Definitely place to return year after year. Elsa is amazing!

The lodge is such an amazing and welcoming oasis of peace and calm in the hustle and bustle of a busy life. An escape where you can find relaxation floating up from the lake on the breeze through the rustling of the leaves. The service is always top notch with staff that are friendly and will make you feel like you are long lost family friends visiting but also offer you the space for solitude and reflection. Exploring the grounds bucolic natural surrounds, from lake front to hilltop views, helps one center and find balance. The menu features a perfect balance between many local farm to table unique options and as well as more standard burgers type of fare. This spot holds so much magic and is the perfect place to escape to write, paint, or create as well as to just unwind and recharge a world wearied soul.

I stayed at Highland Lodge for my first trip to Vermont and I was blown away by the beautiful views and the friendly people. A few highlights from our stay: the walk to the lake (especially for sunset), the incredible breakfast enjoyed on a lovely porch, the campfire under the amazing starry sky, and the short hike to see some great mountain views. Chad and Elsa are also the best hosts! Wonderful A++++ experience!!

The breakfasts here were fabulous! Imagine bread pudding french toast with vermont maple syrup, raspberry donut cake, fresh fruit, eggs , bacon, local smokehouse sausage, homemade yogurt with granola, variety of juices, and delicious craft coffee! Just to name a FEW of our favorites.
Honestly, we'd return just for the breakfast.
But if you need a total reset- complete rest, no tv, the great outdoors, and a beautiful lake, this is the spot.
Be sure to stop in at Willey's general store.

The restaurant and bar exceeded our expectations. We both ordered specials and the fish and steak were almost perfect. The service was kind and diligent, the cocktails tasty, and the beer menu what is expected in this part of VT (ie world class). We are eager to return.

Highland lodge is a real favourite. Elsa and Chad are great hosts and made us feel welcome. Breakfast and supper are always well prepared, good wholesome tasty food. The bookshelves, games and sofas on the ground floor make for good apres ski. Cross country skiing straight out onto trails from the backdoor is the icing on the cake,. Craftsbury outdoor center adds options nearby,. Our bedroom is well appointed with great views. A great place to stay!

A delightful place to stay! We loved the Federico Room which had a very comfortable bed, windows on three sides and lots of room. I would have liked more vegetarian options for dinner. Breakfast was delicious!
