We came across several reviews mentioning the property's age and outdated features. While the property is certainly not new, it provided all the essentials for a comfortable stay. Upon our arrival, the house was impeccably clean and offered ample space, with numerous windows showcasing stunning views of the lake. The air conditioning functioned effectively, keeping the environment pleasantly cool. Outside, there are two barbecue grills available for use. The outdoor area is spacious, allowing guests to lounge beneath the trees, unwind in a hammock, or relax under umbrellas by the water. This location suited our needs perfectly, and we genuinely hope to return in the future.

We spent 4 nights here in August. The house easily accommodated 7 people with comfortable beds for everyone. Liked the large dining table and big kitchen to accommodate multiple cooks at a time. We found all the utensils and cooking gear to serve complete meals to our guests. The view of the lake was nice. Nice artwork on the walls. Would love to return to Harte's Desire again.

Best part of the property is the location on the lake. However, the first impression driving in was off putting with the broken down car, boats, leaves, cobwebs and debris covering car ports, decks and steps. The worst part of the house side is the kitchen. The counter tops grout, floors, fridge, are all older and not clean. The dishwasher was full of dishes when we arrived, the coffee pot had not been cleaned in a very long time. A pan was left in the oven filled with a large amount of grease from a prior rental. Large cutting board on the counter was very dirty. Not impressed with the older kitchen. The ignition switch on both BBQ did not work. Need to have your own lighter. One of the BBQ burners is out. Broken shades and stutters. The view of the lake is very nice, along with the family room area to all to hang out. If it weren’t for the lake view and dock, I would have rated the house a 2. In general the property needs some love and care.
