Beautiful house!
We used this house as a base for biking the Root River Trail. The pictures don't do justice to the inside of this house, it is really upscale. Everything was cleaned, well stocked and the hosts were very responsive and accommodating. We will definitely be recommending this property to our friends. Most enjoyable time was watching the storm come in while sitting on the porch.

Great Property for All Ages
This property was great! Our grandchildren (10-12) loved the game room. It came in handy during our rainy day! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. Loved the lighthouse theme throughout! We biked part of the Harmony-Preston trail which was close by. Niagara Cave was close as well. A bonus was looking out toward the back and seeing fireflies popping out all over the field. Communication with the hosts is exceptional. It never took long to get a response back as I had questions about activities in/near Harmony. I would definitely go back to this property!

My family stayed here for our daughter’s wedding at Serenity Hills in Preston, about 10 minutes away. This is a beautiful home with very nice amenities! Well appointed, large kitchen. Two large bathrooms, each with a full bath. It has the garage converted into a game room, with darts, poor table, putting green, and large TV. This is. Great location for exploring SE Minnesota.

Beautiful and comfortable!
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!

Really nice place!!
The Lighthouse was a very pleasant surprise. With the limited number of rentals in the area, I wasn't sure what we were going to get. In my opinion the place is better than advertised. Beautiful Amish Cabinets and working make a gorgeous kitchen. A large solid oak and walnut dining room table set make for a nice warm Harmony experience. We spent 4 evenings with 3 adult children and 2 young grandchildren (3 and 7). The home has 2 master suites, one for my daughter and her family and one for my wife and I. My 6'3" son sacrificed and took the living room couch which he said he slept fine on. The large porch and yard area and fun garage provided a ton of common are and room to enjoy. Drew was an attentive host and was an excellent communicator. I would book this house again and can't recommend it any more highly. Thumbs up from our entire family!!
