Loved the solitude, the cabin was well equipped and very comfortable. We were in Lanesboro this morning and the owner knows Troy, our host." - "I took my dad and my kids to this cabin for a quick weekend of stargazing, as my dad has a portable observatory good for taking pictures of galaxies, globular clusters, etc. The cabin itself was wonderful, with everything we needed, and it was very clean.

The kids loved exploring the area, and we even made a trip into Lanesboro for lunch and ice cream. A good, quiet weekend. Thanks!"

This is truly a very unique place and will give you lasting memories. If you hit the season right, you will see the most spectacular firefly display, blue birds by the 1000's or an abundance of other wildlife as they migrate through. The owner holds this beautiful place as a hunting lodge and you'll see more wild deer than you've ever seen anywhere. While he wants to share this getaway... he wants that Big Buck for himself. Strictly no deer or any hunting allowed. If you get a chance to see a big one – let us know and please send pictures!

I'm sure you will have a great time!

LOWER-UNIT APARTMENT
(ALSO AT THE TOP OF DESCRIPTION)
✔ Your Private Space: You have private access to all the spaces pictured, which includes the entire main & upstairs levels, the driveway & whole front yard with covered deck, the patio with seating, and the grills & fire pit. The garage game room is also apart of your rental to use, but be aware when Jake is coming or going, as noted above.

✔ Lower-Unit: Jake, the homeowner, has turned the basement of this property into a secure and separate lower-unit, and lives there. You will not have access to that space or the backyard/patio during your stay. Jake may be out of town for work occasionally and will quietly come and go through his private door inside the garage. Jake is very friendly and may also access his desk in the corner of the garage on occasion.

✔ Lower-Unit Tenant: A long-term tenant is currently renting a room of the lower-unit from Jake and living with him. He has his own private parking space and accesses his apartment by the private backyard patio entrance through the back of the home. He does not have any contact with guests and does not have access to the garage like Jake does.

✔ All three doors leading to the Lower-Unit Apartment are labeled with “No Guest Access” signs and are locked. One is on the door in the garage, one on the door in the kitchen, and one on the basement patio door in the back.



GUEST ACCESS
The front door has an electronic lock, so all people need to do to get checked into the home is the 4 digit code to that lock. That code will be given to you with the check-in instructions prior to your arrival.

- "The Harmony Lighthouse is exactly what you see and more! It is a gorgeous home accented with Amish furniture and charm. The kitchen has everything you need for cooking and is just comfortable to visit in. We have experienced staying in many VRBO's over the last 10 yrs and the Harmony Lighthouse is one of the best. It has everything you need from cooking to a variety of things to do in the garage(game room). The bedrooms are spacious with enough closets and dresser space for all groups and beds are comfortable. The furniture is again Amish made and beautiful. This home is immaculate and clean! The outside of the home is exactly as you see it. Beautiful front yard were you can relax and enjoy coffee in the morning or campfire in the evening. Our hosts, Drew & Rachel are very attentive and check in to make sure everything is going well and there are no issues. We will be back to visit Harmony and stay at this beautiful home!"
