Current Owners
The four primary culprits of this endeavor include John Girouard, Carlotta Girouard, Eli Girouard and Luna Lovegood. As business partners John & Carlotta have managed successful commercial properties. Carlotta will be seen either glued to a computer screen or running around the property jacked up on one too many cups of coffee. John primarily works in NH however may be seen around the property taking down a purple striped painting that Carlotta tried to pair with a framed orange zucchini poster... Eli devours books, all things magical, and is obsessed with creating stories about dogs taking over the world. Eli's favorite villain is his sister Luna, who, you may not realize, is a warlord of immense power who could take over the world in an instant.

Daria Bosworth
I have been a part of the housekeeping staff at Highland Lake Resort since June 2017. As a housekeeper, I take great pleasure in cleaning and helping others, which is why I will be going to college in the fall of 2018 for nursing. I love to spend my spare time with friends and family, and volunteering around the lakes region community. |
