    Cute place to stay flat walking trails and the beach near by hospitality communication was excellent. Local cafe had really good bakery. So nice and quiet nice break for city dwellers.

    It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.Polly is a very kind and gracious host. She could run any 5-star resort. Her love of all animals is heartwarming. The facilities were as described, and the location is great. I would love to give her the maximum rating and move on. Unfortunately, there is the tale of the other city. Upon arrival Tony (the other host) was not very welcoming, and the undercurrent was felt by all. We are still unclear what caused this inhospitality. We traveled with a truck camper and had coordinated this with Polly prior to arrival. On day 2 they demanded we pay cash for having the truck camper. This felt like a shake down and VRBO violation, We thought it was not an unreasonable amount (20) but should have been addressed prior to arrival. On day 3 we attempted to give them the cash after returning from sightseeing and they were not about. On day 4 Tony showed up while we were eating breakfast demanding “his money” – this rudeness created an environment so toxic that we cut our vacation early and departed. Had he just spoken to us he would have realized the absurd environment he created. Did he believe an engineer, two university professors and myself, a retired Air Force Colonel would not have paid our bill? In retrospect I think the conflict was the point.It pains me to write this, and I hope Polly finds a solution. The time with family and friends is special. I just want renters to be aware of the potential landmine.

    We had a very relaxing stay at the Rabbit Hutch. We enjoyed the wildlife, comforts of home and bbq cooking fresh veggies from the local farms. Polly is an absolute gem...a lovely hostess, who loved our dogs.

    We really enjoyed our stay. Polly and Tony were very welcoming and accommodating. It was like going to visit family. We will definitely book again when we go back to Harrop for a vacation.

    Clean, well-kept, and well supplied with cookware, linen, etc. Beautiful yard with excellent views of mountains across river. Great path down to the water. Hosts were friendly and sociable. All in all - excellent.

    Everything was just excellent! This place totally exceeded our expectations. Check in was easy with a host greeting you. Property is huge and has gorgeous views of the mountains and lake scenery. We had two dogs with us and they didn't want to leave and were very sad when we got home. Whatever we needed the property had, just felt like it is your own place and you coming back for vacation all the time. Hosts are super friendly, can answer any questions and provide more information on anything. The property is definitely a comeback!

    Thank you, Polly and Tony, for sharing your piece of heaven. The activity of the birds and deer during early morning coffee on the lawn was so entertaining. The view is spectacular! The stroll to the lake was easy. We found everything we needed in the cabin. The small kitchen was a delight as we gals knew that our stay would give us a week away from involved kitchen work. The beds were so luxurious. Most of all we appreciated your hospitality. Everything was so easy from booking, to check-in, and for contact with you during our stay. We will most definitely be back!
