YOU MUST PLAN YOUR TRAVELS AHEAD! Mobile reception is not reliable around the lodge. Make sure you are using main roads to get here, as others can be seasonal and difficult to pass. You need to have Google Maps programmed and started before you leave a major city, especially during winter or inclement weather. We do not issue refunds in the event of inclement weather.

Highland Lodge is on the top of a hill on the main road at Northeast corner of Lake Caspian in Greensboro, Vermont. So if all else fails, if you find Lake Caspian, you can drive around it until you find us at the top of the hill!
