Nice house and location. Unfortunately, we weren’t aware of the need to have beach type towels. Probably our fault, it might have been in the paperwork and we just missed it. We ended up going to nearby stores to buy one for everyone to take out to the lake. There were minor issues (bulbs out, loose toilet, etc) that the property managers were very quick to respond to and work on. Overall a good experience and would rent again!

We enjoyed it very much. Comments meant to be constructive and helpful:Kitchen cabinets dirty and greasy- I did what I couldKitchen rug is a soil trap and can’t really be kept cleanBack deck would benefit from awning, it gets so hot and glare-y back thereFitted sheets on all beds so that sheets are not getting all undone on bottomThe spaces served us very well altho sharing en suite master bath was a bit difficultThank you very much. It was a wonderful family time, esp for this cancer- fighting grandma!And thank you for getting the misplaced wallet back to our son.

Excellent location, plenty of space for multiple familys
Wonderful location to enjoy beautiful Lake James. We were able to use our pontoon boat on the dock. The house had plenty of space and a well stocked kitchen for our family vacation.

Excellent Family Reunion Adventure!
We travelled from Chicago and Florida for a slice of mountain air and views! Harborside Haven did not disappoint. We had 13 family members aged 6-87 and a wonderful time was had by all. The house was wonderful with multi-level spaces allowing people to spread out if they desired. Loved the sleeping arrangements and the no shortage of bathrooms! Of course, the property with the lake access meant we were not in the home a lot! The dock was used plenty for swimming, boating and fishing and my 87-year-old mother made the trip to the dock to enjoy the family several times! If you are looking for a spot for the whole family (dogs even joined us), I would highly recommend this location not only for the accommodations, lake and views but the proximity to many other locations for hiking and exploring. We are already talking about returning next year!
