We had a great time and the cabin and on the lake. The kayaks and paddle board were a great way to enjoy the lake. We saw deer every day-they were even there to welcome us when we first arrived! Overall this was a wonderful way to spend the holiday weekend!

I was looking for a nice quick getaway to get some R and R and this spot was exactly what I was looking for. Not only is the location perfect to get a quick bite to eat or venture out of lake harmony but the private dock is a perfect place to catch up on some summer reading and enjoy the lake! The host is extremely responsive and ensures that you are enjoying your stay. 10/10 for this place and hope to come back soon!

The cabin was as advertised. We enjoyed the fire pit and sitting on the dock. The cabin was well stocked clean and comfortable There were lots of blankets in the cabin which were nice to have sitting out at the fire pit. Would definitely stay there again.

This is really an awesome house. Nice location with a decent yard, grill, fire pit, chairs, picnic table; great place to be outside. The lake dock has a pretty vertical walk down to, but negotiable. Inside the house was super comfortable, yea a confortable mattress & sofa. Great kitchen with all the amenities to cook.We ate at Nick's on the Lake. Also wanted Mexican but the place was closed (Google did not know this). Then found an Indian place that would look like a Dive right out of Guy's DDD... the place, "Eat Spice: Indian Dhaba," is a former gas station and very unassuming. Don't let the looks fool you and while it seems really more like a take-out place, it was he best Indian food we ever had. Everything cooked to order and worth the wait as we dined in.Lots of great hiking around and we visited two area water falls. Cute store called "Treasure Shop" where hundreds of trinket items were found.This was a very relaxing and fun stay, we highly recommend this rental to enjoy a stay in Lake Harmony.

Just what we wanted. Nice cozy, quiet, clean place to stay with lake access. We enjoyed kayaking on the lake, a quick trip out to Hickory Run State Park for a hike, and checking-out local restaurants for a bite to eat. Very enjoyable. Thank you!

Review of stay at cabin

The cabin was not clean when we arrived. There was a lot of traffic at that intersection the complete time we were there. Very noisy.

Response from VrboOwner on 14 Sept, 2023
Our cleaning company sends us pictures of our homes every time after they clean. The home was definitely cleaned to our standards. We provide all of our contact information and ask our guests to immediately let us know if something is not up to their standards or if there are any problems encountered during their stay so we can rectify any issues. We did not hear a single word from this guest during a two week stay.

Relaxing Weekend Away

Cottage in the woods was perfect for a relaxing weekend away. Right across the street from the lake, close walk to Split Rock beach. The lights around the fire pit where perfect for enjoying the starts at night. Property was depicted perfectly and check in and out were both super easy and we were able to get to relaxing right away. We can't wait to be back!

Had a great time

Our family had a wonderful time staying at Cabernet Cottage. It was just the right size for the three of us. The bathroom was a bit of a tight space though. The communication with the owner was great. He was incredibly responsive and accommodating. Overall, a great place to stay near all the amenities the lake has to offer.

Relaxing vacation

The house was very nice. Everything was newer and the couches are very comfortable. I only gave a 4 for location because being on the corner lot. We were nervous with our 4 year olds with the cars. But Everything else was great!

Memorial day weekend.

This house on the outside looks small. But it housed myself, husband, two children, and two dogs very comfortably and very clean.The owner Jason was very quick to respond whenever I needed to ask questions. It rained the whole time we stayed there, (but you can't predict the weather) so we didn't get to spend much on lake harmony. With that said there are board games at the house that myself, and the kids played with. . Will for definitely stay there again.

We purchased this property in 2020, adjacent to our lake front cabin, to restore it to provide a unique experience for families and small groups.

Why they chose this property

Conveniently located across the street from our lake front Cabin, we wanted to offer additional housing for guests who wanted lake access, or an alternative home with great lake views and lake access.
