Rooted in place. Guided by tradition.

A life shaped by the Great Lakes.

Highland & Harbor is a heritage-inspired Great Lakes lifestyle journal celebrating the traditions, landscapes, and rhythms of life shaped by water, woods, and seasons. Rooted in the duality of inland highlands and lakeshore harbors, the brand reflects classic Midwestern sensibilities through a refined, old-world aesthetic inspired by historic lodges, lakeside cottages, and family cabins passed down through generations.

Through stories of home, cottage and cabin living, seasonal recipes, outdoor and sporting pursuits, regional travel, and Great Lakes heritage, Highland & Harbor explores a slower, more intentional way of life. The journal feels warm, editorial, and timeless, drawing inspiration from vintage field notes and heritage lifestyle publications while remaining grounded in the present.

Highland & Harbor exists for those drawn to the Midwest’s natural beauty, enduring traditions, and quiet sense of home. It is a place shaped by shoreline and forest, by long winters and bright summer days, and by the belief that living well begins with attention, care, and a deep connection to place.
