We had a delightful stay on Harper island. This is an ideal option for anyone looking for time with family & friends in a serene & private island setting.Daryn was responsive & helpful, the cabins are cutely designed, beds are very comfortable & the kitchen well stocked.Early mornings were peaceful waking up to the mist on the water til the sun came up. Ample number of hiking trails within 2 hours to choose any level of challenge.Winding down, enjoying a nightly fire pit once the sun set while hearing the loons on the lake was perfect A perfect balance of Rejuvenation & relaxation ;) we would love to make another visit out in the future!

Amazing time with the kids. Definitely not for you if you aren’t used to glamping, boat use or “roughing it”, but, if you are, this is an absolute gem! The kids were busy consistently, lots of boats and floats to use on the lake. We played manhunt after dark, seriously, the kids had an amazingly good time. Only one tv on the island, WiFi in main cabin but the service was fine without the WiFi. Next year, it’s definitely going to see us again :)

We’d definitely stay again. This island had everything we needed and plenty of comfortable space for our family of 11. We played, ate well, slept well and contained us all to an island.

me and my husband decided to do a week vacation on this island. It was absolutely beautiful. They had absolutely everything and more that we needed. We most certainly be back again. I strongly recommend staying here if you’re looking into it don’t think twice the place is absolutely beautiful and my kids loved it.
