This place was private, relaxing vacation spot. I see why people return, because its just so nice. The pictures online does no justice for how serene this place is. On top of have kind, and accommodating property owners. I will be coming back and becoming a regular.
I cannot say enough good things about this experience! I brought my girlfriend here for her birthday and we had a blast. Not only were the cabins cozy and facing the water but they were clean and had a modern feel. The hosts have boats, kayaks, and paddleboards for guests to use and we had a blast. When we first got there they suggested a vegan restaurant in Concord after hearing my girlfriend was vegan and we ended up going there and it was fantastic! Kind people, great hosts, awesome getaway close to many beautiful walking trails!
We had a fantastic time! 18 family members stayed in the big old wonderful house (and had room to turn around!) We canoed, kayaked, swam, grilled, ordered steamed lobsters locally, had smores by the camp fire, took naps on the swing, sat peacefully by the lake and vowed to return and do all it again! Family came from Florida, Ohio, South Carolina, Maine and New Hampshire for a reunion and the Cottages at Harvey Lake was the perfect setting. Thank You, our gracious hosts, Lee and Nancy. This is your warning...we're coming back!!
We went to the lake for a long weekend, Friday to Monday with our two dogs. The cabin had everything we needed, we got a one bedroom cabin (pink), and the dogs seemed to feel right at home as well. Saturday was fun for the dogs, playing with the owner's boxer and going canoeing to the island. The place was booked out Saturday night and Sunday night, so the larger group took over the beach area with the children, but we still snuck in a quick swim for the dogs. The owners were great and quick to answer any questions. The kayaking was great, and it was easy to access the boats to use whenever we wanted. The price was very reasonable and it was just right for a weekend away, on the lake.
This is our 3rd year renting at the Cottages at Harvey Lake. We have a fantastic time everytime, and it keeps on getting better.. The owners of the place will bend over backwards to ensue that you have a great time. We have stayed at the big house and the cottages. They all have a beautiful view of the lake. The fishing is fantastic. Our 10 year old caught 25 fish, and our neice caught the grandaddy of them all. It was huge. Great location, great fishing, quiet, and fantastic owners make this place the BEST DEAL OUT THERE!!! We will be there once again next year!!
Thank you for accommadating my daughter and her family. The pink cottage is truly on the lake. We spent much time on the screened porch with the lake breeze blowing in as we watched the Egret fly about on a daily basis. They will be back up in September. This was as quaint as you get. Very quiet even with other cabins around. To put your toes in the water within feet of walking out of your cabin is great especially when you have little ones. My husband and I only live 7 miles down the road but expect to get-away here for the lake and the peacefulness that your cabins provide. Sincerely, SCTucker
For the past 7 years, I have missed my relaxing, NH lake vacations. Now, I can't wait for my next one! I'm a native of Concord, NH and most of my family and friends are located there or nearby. This location was perfect for folks to come, hang out, enjoy the water and boats, and feast with me. Nancy and Lee keep the cottages and property neat and very clean and are very accommodating hosts, focused on making your stay the best possible. My only concern upon on arrival was traffic noise but by Sunday, it had become white noise because of the beauty and peacefulness of the lake. My sons, nieces, and nephews are mostly young adults. All of them started talking about what a great place/ location this would be to spend a week with family and friends. Friday, I was sitting by the water and my heart told me I was not ready to say good-bye so I called Nancy to find out if there was a cottage available for an additional night and happily there was. The better news was on Saturday morning when my sons announced they wanted to stay that extra day, too. They weren't ready to return to their Boston area, hectic lives. This property and location afforded me one of the best vacations with quality family time that I have had in a long time. Thank you, Nancy and Lee!!!!
With Winter approaching all too soon, I've been reflecting on what a great time I had when I stayed here in June '09. For a little over a week my husband & I rented a cottage & my parents rented one as well. We are still remarking about what a wonderful, relaxing time we had & plan to reserve for the same time next year. Nancy & Lee are the new owners of this property & have done so many improvements & provide a great experience. (Cottages had been grossly neglected for many years prior to their recent purchase) Upon arrival, whatever may not have been completely up to par, we pointed out with immediate remedy to follow. (ie, newly installed waterheater had not been switched on, needed a broom). All the basics were provided ie, clean linens, A/C, sm. flat screen TV/DVD combo, DVD's, toiletries, dish soap, sponge, sm.microwave, stovetop, sm. refrigerator, toaster, coffemaker, mugs, plates, cutlery. This family made us feel so welcome & bent over backward to accomodate us, so rare these days. However, as another poster pointed out, if you are looking for luxurious accomodations, please, look elsewhere. But, if you are seeking simplicity & pure relaxation, in a somewhat rustic, cute little cottage, in a small encampment at lakeside, this is it. You'd be hard-pressed to find better accomodations in the area for the very affordable rates. And, if you enjoy fishing, early one morning my step dad caught a 5+ lb lg mouth bass right on shore! Ahhh, visions of waking early to the gentle sounds of Loons with a cup of hot java in hand, watching Swallows swooping down over the lake while planning my day along with the choices of canoeing (graciously provided), fishing, swimming, lounging lakeside, a bonfire at night, S'mores (not provided) & my own little screened porch directly over the water where I can read, craft, play a game, casually entertain another couple or do absolutely nothing at all ... I can't wait to return next June!!! Many thanks to Nancy, Lee & Adam & we look forward to staying with you again in 2010!
What a fun place!! This was my 1st time in the NH area and I had a really good time. The cabin was great, it was a homey place and had everything we needed. but keep in mind that is exactly what it is... a cabin. If your looking for luxury this is not the place for you. We had a wonderful time, it was so nice to sit out on the little front porch and look out a the ducks every morning. The cabins are so colorful, we stayed in the orange one. Being from Gainesville, FL, that suited me just fine, GO GATORS!! :) The owners we such nice people. They strive to make your stay as pleastant as possible. I will definatley go back!!
We were looking for a nice place to get away and enjoy some downtime.We were pleasantly surprised to have been so welcomed and treated like family. Lee and Nancy were great hosts and the other people at the site were like old friends.We will remember this vacation and would most certainly go back again! Thanks Lee, Nancy and the family for making our vacation a wonderful memory! Jim & Lynda
