Vacation!

I come to The Cottages at Harvey Lake every year for at least a week. It’s a wonderful location, quiet lake, close to restaurants, nice little beach with access to kayaks, and very pet friendly. Nancy Carver is super nice, greets you when you check in and is very quick to respond if you need anything. Love coming here!

We enjoyed our stay. It rained the whole time so we didn't get to enjoy the property like we had planned but they had everything you could ever want! We are planning a group trip back up asap. It's the perfect spot for multiple families to kick back and enjoy this adorable little spot. I also really loved the screened in porches, even though it was raining we could still get outside and see the lake.

Camp not Cottage

The owner was very nice and accommodating first allowing us to move up check-in one day and then refunding payment when we were dissatisfied and checked out early. The owner moved us to the orange cottage from the purple cottage booked because it needed renovations. It was clean but I wouldn't describe it as a quaint cottage or even rustic cabin, owner called it a camp. No blinds or curtain in bathroom; blinds on front door kept breaking, gap under front door and window AC unit; screened porch but gap in floor all together bugs/creatures could have easily gotten into unit. 2 burner stove couldn't heat soup. Dining table tucked in a corner had 2 chairs but only room for 1 to sit. Two beds with around walk around space only. Overall cramped and just not functional.
