The Home

Wake to the water at your doorstep.

Tucked in the private, gated Penn Estates community, Highland Lake Retreat is a stunning five-bedroom lake house with panoramic water views and direct access to the lake. Morning coffee on the deck, afternoon kayaking, and nights around a crackling fire pit. Four of the five bedrooms look out over the water, and there's room for twelve to spread out, year-round.

Private hot tub with lake views at Highland Lake Retreat

The lake is your backyard.

Grab a kayak or paddleboard and glide out from your own shoreline, cast a line off the dock, or simply sink into the year-round hot tub and watch the water. A lakeside hammock and Adirondack chairs are waiting for the quiet moments.

Two fire pits (gas on the deck, wood-burning by the lake) carry the evenings into the night.

Game room with foosball and arcade machines at Highland Lake Retreat

Room for the whole crew.

An open-concept main level flows from a stone fireplace and lake-view living room through a fully equipped kitchen to a dining table for ten. Downstairs, a game room with a pool table, foosball, and arcade machines keeps everyone entertained.

Community perks add a beach, pools, tennis, and pickleball, open seasonally.

"The perfect spot for our girls weekend. The house is cozy and had everything we needed for dining in. It's so beautiful being right on the lake, and we enjoyed a campfire in the backyard too."
