The property was super cute and it was easy to communicate anything we needed with the hosts. It was close to everything so we could walk if we didn’t want to take our vehicle. We loved being able to bring our furry friends with us as well!One thing I would note is that it could use a good deep clean on baseboards and walls but I only noticed because I was vacuuming up our pet hair, as well as power washing the outdoor furniture, we didn’t really sit out there because it was dirty. The volume on the tv in the bedroom didn’t always work and we had a little bit of an ant problem but we grabbed some stuff at the dollar general that was just a minute away and it helped a lot. Overall we would definitely stay here again!

This was the cutest place ever, and the host was amazing! It had everything we needed, and we were a party of six and we did have room to spread out. The beds were comfortable, and the pullout couch bed was great too. We did not gt to use the outdoor space as it was winter when we went, but it looks like a great place to hang out with a fire pit, grill, and lounging chairs. It was close to restaurants and shopping. We would definitely stay here again!

We had a delightful stay at Happy Harbor! The house was darling and spotless, kitchen well stocked, bathroom amenities were plentiful, and the beds were so comfortable! The village is very walkable, located near Indian Lake state park with plenty of walking trails and a wonderful dog park. The host was extremely nice and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

This was such a gem. Only our second Vrbo but I would come here again. Very quiet, everything we needed and more. Everything was self-explanatory and the coffee was a nice touch. Didn’t have enough time to cook but I would’ve loved to cook on that island. Heat, hot water - very excellent!

Window units in both bedrooms do not fit the window square allowing bugs and rain to come in. There are several ant and roach pods throughout the house because customers leave “crumbs” around. The couch had such a huge stain on it, we went to a local store to lay blankets down to even sit down on it. The sliding glass door in the back of the house barely locks and could easily be opened. The neighborhood has not been cleaned up since the tornado and is a bit sketchy. We ended up only staying one night because of all of the circumstances. On a positive note, the kitchen is newly remodeled and nice. Overall, the inside of the house is clean. The outside needs weeded and cleaned up.
