There’s no place like home
I’m from Lake Harmony but moved away 30 years ago. This is the first time I’ve been back for an extended stay. It was wonderful. The house was clean, well furnished, and stocked kitchen. We would absolutely stay again. The only small negatives were it was freezing when we arrived and the vaulted ceiling made it hard to heat up the house. Also the hot warm temperature could be warmer.

Girls Trip 2024
We enjoyed the hot tub but wasn't happy about the location of it being in the front of the house. The towel rack is broken from wall in first floor bathroom. The house looked bigger in pictures on line and we didn't expect so many neighbors around it. They do need new pots and pans. But, my friends and I had a wonderful time. We were very comfortable at this property. Thank you again 💓

Great location & Cool features.
We had a great time. The location is excellent, and the Jacuzzi and sauna were a nice touch. The home in general needs much better lighting, and could really use a renovation due to age and wear and tear.

2 night family trip
The house was perfect size for my family of 5 and the family dog. The house was just what we needed for two night trip. The beds were comfortable and the bedrooms were a perfect size. The kids loved the loft area. The location of the cabin is a remarkable location. What I feel we would have benefited us and/or made it a better visit. There was nothing to welcome you to give you information of what was around for beach locations, delivery food/ restaurants or just a plan old list of things that you can do. It was first trip to Lake Harmony and we had no information on public lake area or where to go to use the passes the house provided. The kitchen was nice it just needed more utensils and oven mitts. There were some lights that were out but just needed lightbulbs. The TV downstairs did not work only the dvd player. It was a clean and cozy cabin, maybe just needs a look-over before next visitor to fix the small stuff. Overall, it was a great home and a wonderful trip. Lake Harmony is beautiful. We would stay at this location again.
