Great Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The home was very clean. It accommodated us seven adults very well. We particularly enjoyed the sunroom and the dogs enjoyed the fenced-in backyard. The owner of the property was very friendly and helpful. The neighbors were friendly. Overall great place to stay. We definitely want to stay there again in the future.

Disappointed there was no hot tub.

Thank you for the feedback and sorry you were disappointed. I’m not sure why you expected a hot tub as it is not included in the listing nor are there any pictures of a hot tub. We hope you enjoyed your stay otherwise. Thanks!

Adorable Lake House

My friend and I wanted to get our families together like we’ve done before over Labor Day and Harlan Reservoir is the perfect place between KC and Denver. The house fit our families well. The kitchen is nicely organized and has lots of utensils, there’s plenty of couch space and the beds were comfortable.

Very well kept property with nice amenities, especially the enclosed porch. Appliances all work fine although we needed a little help to figure out the dishwasher. We plan on returning again.
