We enjoyed our stay very much and found this to be a perfect spot for a quick Labor Day Weekend getaway. Clean and cozy, with plenty of space for our family to spread out. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch and relaxing. The fireworks over the lake on Sunday evening were an added bonus. Exactly what we were looking for!

Nice Location

It was a nice little house close to Harvey’s lake, and near enough to Ricketts Glenn park. The front porch was our favorite part of the house. Everything was clean, and the host was very responsive to our messages.

Lovely setting and property

The property was very quaint and cozy for our group of friends gathering. Plenty of room and separate areas for sleeping worked out well. Note the coffee maker did seem to leak a bit on the first day, but not the next day. Overall, we had a great first time VRBO experience!

I was happy to stay for a second consecutive year at this lovely property at Harvey's Lake. This was my quiet respite from the fun and madness of my extended family "Lake Week" reunion.This lovely house felt like "home" to me when I first stayed here, and returning a year later just felt that much more welcoming. It just makes me happy to be there.The house has reliable appliances, a convenient front door lock, soft HOT water with good flow in the shower. I go in the summer, so I have the added bonus of a chorus of crickets at night. The host is very friendly and communicative, clearly interested in renters having a nice time. Also has good taste in breads and snacks. ;DHaving been here twice and visiting with locals, I now even have a few acquaintances in the neighborhood, which is VERY quiet both night and day.Just a terrific overall "feel" in this place. A favorite of mine!
