The house was the perfect home away from home with an unbeatable lake view. We had everything we needed and our host was super responsive to our questions. I’m hesitant to write more, because I really want it to be available next time I visit :)

We had the pleasure of staying in this beautiful historic home for my daughter’s graduation from Beacon College. We enjoyed a million dollar view of Lake Harris and the pool/spa were truly amazing. The house had everything we could ever want or need and more! It was clean and the manager was quickly responsive when one of the mini-split air conditioners had a problem. Unfortunately, the repair company could not get that a/c unit repaired during our stay but that wasn’t the owners fault. I believe the house is up for sale so it may not be available much longer. Best wishes to you!

Great experience!!!

We had a small family gathering for dad’s 90th birthday. It was the perfect setting for a quiet family gathering. Pool was awesome and very kid friendly! We all had a wonderful time and are hoping to go again annually 😊

Beautiful property on the lake

We had the best time at this home. It had everything we could’ve possibly wanted. The pool and hot tub were great and the easy access to both the lake and the boat launch made things really convenient. We found that we never really needed to leave the property after getting groceries. Both my wife and I agreed we will stay here again.

Perfect place for boating on Lake Harris or relaxing by the pool. We had 2 families, total of 12 and everyone had their own space, definitely a comfortable plaice for a large group. Really nice public Boat ramp is conveniently located 2 blocks away. Pool is nice & a great place to hang out. There was plenty of parking for everyone including 3 with boat trailers! Kitchen was nicely equipped with anything you need and everyone said their beds were comfortable. Communication with host was Absolutely Great & prompt! We will be back for sure!

What an incredible property! This spacious historic home on Lake Harris exceeded every expectation. The due-east orientation means you're treated to absolutely stunning sunrises over the water – grab your coffee and just soak it in.The house is ideal for big families or group getaways. The large family area with a pool table and pinball machine kept everyone entertained, and there's plenty of room to spread out. Two full kitchens made meal prep a breeze, and practical details were well thought out – powerful water pressure, abundant hot water, and an oversized washer and dryer.The outdoor space is the real showpiece. The modern pool features a waterfall, fountain, and integrated hot tub, all serviced by a powerful gas heater so you can enjoy the spa or pool at whatever temperature you like. Comfortable outdoor seating rounds it out perfectly. There's also dock access on Lake Harris just across the street.Location is quiet but convenient – easy walking distance to a nearby park and less than a mile to Ski Beach Restaurant. The corner lot offers a carport plus a circular driveway, so parking for multiple vehicles is no problem. Nice touch: the fridge is stocked with beer and sodas available for purchase at very reasonable prices.Host was very responsive and helpful.Honestly can't think of anything else a large family could need for a memorable vacation. Highly recommend!
