This place is just cool, and like stepping back in time. I swear they've got EVERYTHING in this tiny little store. Fishing, camping, hardware, food, you name it.

I love this store. It's like out of a movie...great food stocks, snacks, fishing supplies, etc. etc. etc. Wonderful people. This is a true country store - approach it with that in mind and you'll get everything you need. Check any "Big City" demands at the door.

Had our family Christmas there on the weekend of Dec. 11-13th 2020. What a GREAT place to have our Christmas for our size of family!!! The owners were top notch to work with! The general store, well it is super cute and had anything you wanted or forgot at home! We stayed in the Whitetail Cabin and it was AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL, they even had a Xmas tree up that was stunning! There wasn't anything...

We stayed in the Whitetail Cabin and it was AMAZING and BEAUTIFUL, they even had a Xmas tree up that was stunning! There wasn't anything that they didn't provide in the cabin! Everything from towels to extra cots! When I asked the family if they would stay again, it was and absolute YES! Thank you Highlandville cabins for your hospitality and your beautiful cabin! We'll be back!
