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.
