The house was clean, comfortable, and well equipped with household provisions. The private swimming beach is only a short walk (one property away and across lake loop road) and is equipped with a dock, slide, diving board, chairs, umbrellas, and plenty of swim noodles. Lots of outdoor areas to sit - front porch, upper balcony, back patio, and around the fire pit (buy your own wood.) Owner was friendly, provided a walk-thru, and offered helpful suggestions for dining and activities. Lots to see in the nearby area - check out the Rickett's Glen waterfalls if up for a moderate hike. We also enjoyed Francis Slocum Park and Seven Tubs Rec Area. Note that Harveys Lake is generally a quiet residential area with most of the restaurants located in Dallas, a 10 min drive. All in all, a wonderful stay for our group of 4 adults!
