This place was perfect for my family of five. Lots of space tons of activities on the grounds for us to do and the staff was amazing. They even helped me with a spare and change a tire on my van! The pool, paddle boats, lawn games and s’mores at night were all a bonus. We’re definitely coming back.

The staff at the lodge where we stayed were very friendly and helpful. The outdoor heated pool (at the Main Lodge) was actually heated! Very nice. The chair lift was fun and a relaxing way to go up the mountain and get partial views of the Petoskey area.

The property had a lot of activities to offer, scenic chair lifts, free row boats and kayaks, bike trails, multiple pools and hot tubs, movies, games,and treats. Breakfast was delicious in the main dining room. Staff was friendly and helpful. The property and rooms were clean. The only problem was the beds, they were awful. We had a king murphy bed and queen sofa bed. Both beds sunk in the middle. The sofa bed was hard as a rock and creaked terribly when ever my teenage daughter moved.

I love this resort!!! The staff by the ski cage are so wonderful!!! They are always so warm and friendly!! Our room was great, and we were so lucky to get a beautiful blue bird day!! I was able to get all the lift tickets in the lobby which saved me a hike. The food was great at the main lodge for breakfast. We enjoyed Slopeside, and the pizza delivered to our room was a treat. We all loved the hot tub and pool! My kids were there for hours!! Great vibe all around!! This is our 2nd year staying at The Highlands. We will be back next year!
