From the start the front door lock was not intuitive.This particular one was difficult. Didn't feel welcoming. The house was very hot when we arrived. The AC should be noted, the upstairs bedroom doors must all remain open to get any little bit of AC available. You can't have privacy and be cool, not a great choice. We left early.
It was a nice little house close to Harveyâs lake, and near enough to Ricketts Glenn park. The front porch was our favorite part of the house. Everything was clean, and the host was very responsive to our messages.
Cozy home in a quiet neighborhood. There was everything we needed in the home. Convenient location for our event at Mohegan Sun Arena. Plenty to do within a short distance.
The house was well stocked and clean. Only issue was it was hard to maintain a consistent temperature between between the floors. One bedroom was very hot, and the basement was extremely cold. It could have been attributed to the chilly temps those few days.
The property was very quaint and cozy for our group of
friends gathering. Plenty of room and separate areas for sleeping worked out well. Note the coffee maker did seem to leak a bit on the first day, but not the next day. Overall, we had a great first time VRBO experience!
This lovely cottage at Harvey's Lake was the perfect getaway for me and my family. I arrived first on a rainy day and found the lovely wrap-around porch the perfect place to just relax and unwind. At night, I fell asleep to (only) the sounds of the rain and the cicadas. Ahh...
The house is situated on a lovely property near the end of the street, where it is quiet and well-canopied. It really has an idyllic feel. The house is neat and clean, and felt really welcoming from the moment one walks in. Almost as if it's a part of one's own family legacy.
All of the amenities work as they should. The hot water is hot, and the pressure is strong. Wifi was strong enough for that one video meeting that couldn't be avoided. We did not use the oven, but beyond that we used all kitchen amenities and they worked as expected.
The property owner is friendly and communicative. I had a problem with the VRBO site, and we managed a very successful workaround. Very collaborative.
I can't say enough about the friendly "feel" of this house. It was really striking to me. I showed the house to my brother, who was staying at another property, and I worry that I may now have to compete with him when I plan my return next year!
The Serene Home at Harvey's Lake was exactly what we needed for our family visit. In town for a family gathering at my father's house, we needed more places to sleep and I found this perfect house! Beautifully renovated and so comfortable, plus this home is close to everything. Brianne was available right away to answer the few questions I had. We will definitely rent this lovely home again if it is available!
House was cozy, clean, beautiful porch, and walking distance to Harvey Lake. House was great size for a family of five (5). Highly recommend this house to others. Thank you for helping create a great experience!
Sincerely,
Randall and Anne Johnston
Great house, we had a blast in it this week. We grew up in the back mountain and wanted a place close to family and relax. This place worked out perfectly!
It was a lovely weekend for our daughterâs graduation from Misericordia. The house was comfy and homey and an the hosts were quick to answer questions. Thank you for letting us stay in your lovely home.
We had a lovely (second) stay at this home! It's spacious, very clean and well appointed. Conveniently located at the entrance to the lake and close to restaurants. Check-in process is very easy and hosts are great communicators. Will likely return (again!)
The property is wonderfully peaceful. With its welcoming porches and private backyard, it welcomed quiet cups of coffee and peaceful mornings. The inside is exactly as it shows and is both quaint and spacious! Will definitely stay here again and recommend to family!
We had a lovely long weekend at the lake house. Itâs spacious, clean and well appointed with lovely outdoor space. The owner was very available and responsive. Would definitely stay again!
This is a comfortable cottage with convenient access to nearby restaurants and storesâŠalso a reasonable 20 minute drive to Mohegun casino. I wish the weather was warmer so we could have used the wrap-around porch and firepit. We had xpected the property to be a bit more remote but itâs actually on a regular street with next door neighbors. Thatâs our only reason for the 4 star rating on location. The hosts were excellent with communication and even left a basket with snacks and water upon arrival. Thanks for sharing your home.
We stayed for the weekend to go to a friends wedding nearby and this place was perfect!
Lots of space for the 4 of us to relax and get ready for the wedding, and the house was quiet, cozy and clean! We had a nice time staying here. Definitely recommend!!
