Harpers Haven

We loved our stay at Harpers Haven. It was the perfect location to get to the local trout streams. The house had everything we needed and more. The area is quiet and the view from the deck is beautiful. The house is much larger than it looks from the outside or pictures. They even had an air mattress that fit perfectly in the walk in closet. It was great for the 13 year old for a little extra privacy. Everything was very clean and we all enjoyed it!! We would definitely stay again.

Great place. Set up well for a group of friends to stay together.

Would def go back. I didn't like that I had to take my own bedding- but maybe that's normal..?.. Clean, easy to get to, decorated nicely, safe and way way way better than the house we stayed at last year!

Great family getaway

We stayed here for a summer weekend mini-vacation to Lansing. We found fun things in the area for our three kids, ages 7, 5, and 18 mos. We loved the peaceful setting of the house. Our kids enjoyed the inside and outside toys and the house had bedrooms/beds for everyone. We had to bring our own bedding which ended up working out just fine; it is extra to pack for a family of five so consider that in your plans. Use of the garage was nice as well. We didn't prepare meals here this time the kitchen seemed well stocked to be able to do so. We would definitely stay here again.

Time to socialize

The property was exactly what we wanted. We were there to deer hunt, so at the end of the day, we were ready to eat and relax. The accommodations were perfect. Our only issue was no tv. There's a tv and internet, but none of us had an internet based tv service. (Youtube/Netflix) It resulted in us playing cards and socializing. Not a bad thing. We had a great time and will definitely be interested in scheduling another visit.

Perfect location--private but close to town & parks. Beautiful house, clean, spacious, on paved road. Pictures don't do it justice. Master bed seems a bit small--maybe a full size, and was not very comfortable. Kitchen well stocked. Plenty of hot water. Garage is a perk. Kids loved it.

Fall Getaway

We are retired and needed a break from the stresses of the pandemic, and this trip is what the doctor ordered! It was a very nice, clean home. We forgot an item at the home and they were accommodating to get it returned. The steps were a little much for us at times but we appreciated the use of the garage.
