The home was great and the beds were super comfy! The only downside was that the bedrooms did not have closets. We enjoyed our time there and would stay again if in the area.

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!

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!

Great location, in spite of sketchy looking houses nearby. The front door stuck getting in and out, but that didn't change our impression of how nice this house is on the inside! The bath and a half worked very well and all of the amenities were just what we needed. We will stay there again, if needed.

Location was convenient. Liked the modern kitchen and having 1.5 baths. The bedrooms are a bit tight. The open area is very well laid out and can handle 6 or more people comfortably. The owner communicated very clearly and well. I made a request to leave a bit later on check out day and she let me know within a reasonable time that the request could be accommodated. However, a few areas needed more cleaning attention: the shower bottom walls needed to be scrubbed better there was a pink haze on a portion of it, the floors were very dirty, and the outside table and chairs were dirty and had many cobwebs. So, overall nice property but needed a bit more cleaning attention in the areas mentioned.

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!

We had a great time the house is very cute. Only issue was it was 90 degrees and the little air conditioners cannot keep up. I actually had to go buy a box fan to help pull the air around. If it wasn’t hot it wouldn’t have been an issue but when you are on a boat all day it is nice to come back to coolness! Only other issue was change the shower liner it was a bit on the dirty side. I would recommend this location our overall stay was nice.

The inside of the cottage was cute and looked just like the pictures in the listing. It was conveniently located for all of our activities. The main bath could use some refreshing including the shower liner and the bleach stained towels. The host responded to a message about a concern in a reasonable amount of time.

Comfy cottage

The Cottage was very comfy and bright. Within walking distance to various food places, lake and Dollar General. The Bed was very comfortable and the cottage had everything we needed. The check in was very easy and we had no complications with directions. Easy drive to go see the other islands and to Bellefontaine shops. Neighbors was very friendly and not much traffic on street. Our senior pet was able to go in and out with no problem. We would highly recommend and look forward to returning again.

Lake Time

Inside good lake house.Kitchen is very nice. Tv and available apps is great.Sitting area could use a chair or recliner. Beds were comfortable. Bathrooms were fine but shower needs shut off repair it drips.Did not use kids room with video game and other games but looked like a lot to keep kids entertained.Outside needs some updating front patio needs some updating also. Just my opinion. It was very convenient for us because only a block away from Point Harbor.Would stay again.
