Good value, easygoing vacation , great hosts!
We were 2 couples, 3 young adult singles and one child. There are 7 bedrooms. All the singles and the child had their own private bedroom! The house is quite old with some newer renovations. The ceilings are low in spots and the stairs are steep and narrow. I would not recommend this house for those with balance or mobility issues. There was plenty of seating.

Good value but too near a main road
Lots of room for extended family gathering for a wedding nearby. Kitchen was well equipped. A dozen hooks in the bedrooms and upstairs bathroom would be good, no where to hang anything including wet towels

Great house for big family gathering.
With 6 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, a modern kitchen, large dining room, large laundry room, 2 bathrooms, a screened in porch and large deck, this house always had plenty of room for all our activities. The Sandy beach with its paddle boat, 7 kayaks, and lounge chairs was a great way to start our days during a very hot summer. Kayak trips to the island for lunch were a fun highlight. The friendliness of Nancy and Lee with their helpful information made our whole experience delightful. There are very good restaurants and children’s activities within 15 minutes of the house, so much available to enjoy every day. Looking from the deck to the lake and seeing two great blue herons on the dock was a special treat!

Lovely time making memories!
Nancy was a joy, very helpful and attentive, made us feel very welcome. The kitchen was recently updated and great, plenty of room to store stuff. Most rooms had air conditioning which was very needed the two weeks we were there and the house amazingly stayed cool, that is unexpected for a house this old. Some things I want to mention just to help people , again the stay was great. The traffic can be loud, bring a white noise thing. The stairs to the bedrooms are sturdy but not standard for these days and can be difficult for people with mobility issues. The fire pit was on the other side of a cottage so we never used it. The lake entrance is shared with the cottages and had a great sandy beach and entrance into the water was great, with or without lake shoes. Swimming was great no issues with weeds or fish. There was a big turtle but he stayed his distance <3 I would recommend the big house for a great family vacation. Oh the porch was our favorite it had sun all day long!

Great Family Vacation
The house was great. Plenty of bedrooms for my family of 12. There were more then enough eating spots for the family to enjoy meals together. The lake was perfect for kayaking and fishing. The fishing was great, everyone caught at least 3 fish. The kitchen updates made cooking for everyone so easy. The grill is in good shape and work well. Nancy and Lee were the best hosts I've ever dealt with; they greeted us upon arrival and made sure we had everything we needed throughout our stay. My family and I will definitely be back!

Great place for large gatherings
We had a large group of family and friends, and this was the perfect place for us! We were so happy we found it. Nancy was a great host! Very quick to respond to text messages, there if you needed her, but never there constantly bugging us. We stayed in the main house. It’s 200 years old, so it has its quirks, but we thought it was great with a lot of character. Harvey Lake was beautiful and it was awesome being able to walk down to fish whenever we wanted. Huge fire pit with the house which was perfect for 14 of us! We are definitely planning on going back! Thank you Nancy for being such s great host with a beautiful property!

We enjoyed a family reunion here, loved the deck, kitchen, swimming and kayaks. We hiked and picked blueberries nearby. Nancy was great. Only drawback is the traffic noise from nearby road. Some bedrooms are very basic but all have good beds.

Lots of room In Northwood
Our host, Nancy, was awesome and responsive. The kitchen was newly remodeled and very nice Our experience was consistent with the reviews that I had read When staying at a house that is over 100 years old, guests need to accept that the house will have signs of character as was our experience The amenities were perfect for a lakefront house

Great stay at the lake!
We had a great week at the main house. Nancy and Lee are super friendly and very responsive. The house is on a main road, so there is a lot of road noise but we knew that going in so it wasn’t a problelm. The house is 200 yrs old and they have done a nice job keeping the charm and adding some modern conveniences. The lake access is well maintained and there were plenty of kayaks for the five of us. The other guests were all friendly and there were so many cute dogs!! A great trip all around.

Walsh Family Vacation 2019
We all had a wonderful time. Nancy and Lee are excellent host and hostesses. All went fishing and kayaking. My grandson found friends and now loves to kayak. The house has plenty of room. They were very welcoming to our old little dogs. The other guess in the cottages were all very friendly. The lake is beautiful. We did do some antiquing which was fun. I would definitely recommend The cottages at Harvey Lake. It was fun, laid back and our family laughed and had fun. Thank you Nancy and Lee. Lisa and Tom Walsh

Family vacation
We stayed for a week this past July. Was me, my husband, our 6 sons, one girlfriend n 3 pups. First I will say Nancy was a great host. She met us when we arrived and gave us some information of ideas of things to do in neighborhood. She lives right next door with her husband so they are close by if you need them. When I say there was plenty of room in house. We had plenty of room. We knew going in the house was old and on major road so now surprises there. I only had one surprise and that was that I thought fire pit was in our back yard but it is actually on side of house near another cabin. Again no biggie. Only thing that I can say is deck had few rotten pieces that need to be replaced. (Top step felt like was going to crack)also chairs on deck need to be replaced and yard needs good cutting. Again easy fixes. Here are things I wish someone had told us before we went. There is air conditioning in 4 out of 6 bedrooms so you might want to bring 2 fans. We were there during extremely hot week so we needed them. Also there is few forks. So we just grabbed some plastic silverware. There were plenty if pots n pans although we cooked on grill mostly. There are grill utensils so no need to bring. We had great water pressure n plenty of hot water. There are ice trays in freezer. We didnt really need to get anything. It was very buggy at night so bring spray. Overall A+ vacation home and we will be returning.

Lots of room for everyone!
We enjoyed our stay here. The house is 200 years old (+/-) and has plenty of charm. If you rent it, you have to get Nancy and Lee to tell you the story behind the house itself. As mentioned in other comments, the highway noise is very noticeable, but it dies down come bedtime. The kitchen was a big plus for this property. Nancy and Lee were very helpful and made us feel welcome.

Nice not great
Pro’s: Nancy is incredibly kind, and quick to respond to any needs we had. She personally greets all guests when they arrive. There are plenty of kayaks, paddle boat, and different size life jackets. Fabulous fire pit area. Grill was dirty, but there was a wire brush there to clean it. Small, but very clean beach area with a few lounge chairs. Super easy to keep an eye on the kids. The lake is beautiful! We only saw one jet ski while we were there. Did not see any power boats though, but I believe they are allowed. The lake is incredibly clean. Perfect for swimming. There is a little island you can paddle out to and explore. Tons of board games available to use. A washer (top load) and dryer was a huge plus for us, as we had two lake loving dogs and four kids with us! More than enough space in the main house for large family to find some peace and quiet. Kitchen has all major appliances, clean, and in great working condition. Small bottle of dish soap, new sponge, and plenty of dish towels available. Pots, pans were clean, and there were a few of each. There is also a cake pan (glass). More than enough linens available. Water pressure was excellent Plenty of hot water (unless the washer is running, then it is a cold shower for you😉) A/C units on each bedroom, and in the family room/kitchen area. Cons: You must know this is right on an incredibly busy main road. The road noise is very loud. kitchen had very limited cooking utensils. This was tough for me, as I do a lot of cooking. There was one 2 cup measuring cup, and an incomplete set of measuring spoons. I believe there was one cooking spatula and some sort of spatula with a slot in it. There is no strainer for pasta or rinsing veggies. The knife block only had a few knives in it, and they were not sharp. There are absolutely no staples in the kitchen except salt and pepper shakers. Nancy was kind enough to bring me flour, so I didn’t have to run out and buy a bag. There is no oil, flour, sugar, or spices of any kind. I asked for some floor cleaning supplies b/c my dogs paws are always dirty. Nancy left the supplies for me, but the mop was so dirty, the floors were never going to get too clean. The main floor bathroom caulking really needs to be redone. I think the bathroom was relatively clean, but when the white caulk is so stained, it makes me wonder. The A/C units and fans worked very well, but they had a lot of dust built up.

A lovely summer weekend on the lake
Nancy and Lee were wonderful hosts to our large group. They offered to check us in early, gave us helpful information upon our arrival, and were kind and welcoming throughout the entire weekend. The property is beautiful - the main house is old but well-kept and clean. It is perfect for a large group of friends or big family looking for a simple place on a lake for a perfect summer weekend. Bonus is it's pet-friendly! There are plenty of grills on the property, fire pits for bonfires, and kayaks, canoes, and paddleboats to explore the lake and surrounding islands. There are also lots of places to eat and even a brewery nearby. All in all, we had a great time thanks to our hosts, Nancy and Lee!
