Room was gorgeous and spotless. The staff were so attentive and friendly. Bathroom was very nice and the robes were luxurious. The pool is a must try. Skiing was fantastic
My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary last weekend at The Highlands. At check in, we were given a glass of champagne. It was a nice surprise! The views were beautiful, food was great and the hot tub was so relaxing. We loved the conscience of nearby attractions and places to dine. We will definitely be back!
We loved everything about this family winter weekend! Such a beautiful place! Every person we spoke with here had only our comfort and convenience in mind. The Highlands at Harbor Springs will be a repeat vacation location for us!
Great lodging, the shower was amazing, comfy bed and very comfortable room. Staff was very friendly. Golf and restaurants were walking distance or short drive. If you’re playing any of the Boyne courses, the highlands is a great place to stay!

Highlands getaway
Comfortable, updated room, lots of activities, beautiful scenery.
Our stay at the Highlands was idyllic. The food was good the staff were amazing. The property is absolutely beautiful. We even got to spend some time with the horses which was a blast. We are turning it into a yearly trip.
The condo was perfect except for the heat situation. It was not controllable so we actually slept with the doors open despite the fact that it was freezing out. Restaurant was good. People were super nice. Grounds were beautiful. Location was perfect for touring the area and shopping.

Beautiful resort. Rooms were fantastic. The elevator was down. It made it a bit difficult because of my medical issues.
The staff was amazing. Everyone we dealt with was courteous and helpful. My kids unfortunately got a stomach bug while we were there. They set us up with another room to get some distance, brought my son a little care package and everything. They went above and beyond to accommodate us.
I was so happy with my families stay at “The Highlands at Harbor Springs!” Check in was warm and welcoming. Staff came to my car to unload ski boots and bags. Our room was beautiful!! A separate sitting area. It was snowing while we were leaving and the staff was getting the snow off of my car while I was packing the car. Very impressive service!!! My family will definitely be back!! Thank you!!!

Always a great stay, very family focused/friendly with a daily (almost hourly) activity offering. We’ve been at the pool when they randomly show up with berries and ice cream for all the kids, or we were pleasantly surprised to find a family fest during our last stay with face painting, balloon animals, and themed treats for all the kids. That being said there are some needed updates around the property. They do have a plan for renovation that is ongoing. The rooms have been updated BEAUTIFULLY and feel like such a value-just be prepared for some really dated spots as well. Love staying here and will be back!
We booked as a "last minute deals". Given the first weekend in August in extremely busy - I was having trouble finding lodging. Price was more than ususally spend on hotels, we decided to splurge. Very happy that we did!
The room was FABULOUS. Decorated very classy. I have never seen a bathroom as clean in any other hotel I've stayed at.
Check in staff were AMAZING. Definitely will try to come back for a longer stay!
