8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
This home has a beautiful location, is very clean, and is within walking distance of the town of Harrison. The air conditioners in each room and in the house overall worked phenomenally during a hot week. The owners were incredibly responsive, friendly, and helpful. It was great to have the 4 kayaks, pool noodles, and floats to enjoy the calm, quiet lake. The water was lovely and warm in early July, which made the experience even more enjoyable.Helpful to know: when on a Zoom meeting on the wifi, we were dropped a few times, but for regular non-Zoom wifi, it was fine. The beds and shower heads could use an upgrade. Last, if you have kids, ensure they wear shoes on the stairs leading to the dock, as over time, nail heads have popped up above the wood. Also, it was probably an error on VRBO's part, but it was originally advertised as having four bathrooms when there were, in fact, two. We have rented in the Long Lake area for many years, and overall, this was a good experience!

We had a lovely stay here. House was comfortable, well stocked, and accommodated everyone well. Lots of places to sit, large dining table, great deck. Throughout the week we spent hours swimming, kayaking, and hanging out on the swimming dock.

Great stay on Crystal Lake. I know this lake well so am familiar with both the lake itself as well as the community. house was very nice with lots of space to spread out. I was in contact with owners several times over basic things and he/she responded promptly. enjoy your time here - you won't regret it

Wonderful property. Cleanliness was top notch and it was fully stocked with anything we needed. We are very thankful to have enjoyed a week with family at this beautiful property. Hike to Hawk Mountain was great, and walks to the dairy bar were a wonderful treat. We look forward to visiting again.
