Point Harnes Reviews

We were returning to Carlin Bay for a family reunion. Having grown up there we were excited to have time on the lake again. Point Harnes and the hosts, Suanne and Mark, made us feel as if we had come home. A welcoming lakefront home for a perfect weekend! Thank you!

Great place to relax.

We had family staying just a half mile north, so this home offered us a great place to come to get some rest or some work done. Nice, clean beds and home. Very well stocked kitchen and a lot of games to pass the time away. Would love to come back again.

great location great lakeside position but overall disappointing

great location in lakeside position with excellent waterfront and "toys". Somewhat spoilt as on our last afternoon owners and their family took over the dock area meaning we felt we couldn't access the canoes paddleboards etc, taking the edge off our enjoyment on our last day. Grandkids were especially looking forward to fishing but could not because of the owners young grandkids were in the fishing area, Checkout processes were demanding - beds to be stripped, washer to be filled and dishwasher filled and started, and departure by 10:00am. We also had to take trash to the dumpster "up the road" (3 mile round trip) only to find somebody had locked it. Did not meet current UK advertising campaign about property privacy. In addition be aware that shopping for provisions requires round trip to Coeur d'Alene, facilities in Harrison extremely limited.

6 Adults for a week on the lake vacation

Overall the place was amazing. Sleeping accommodation bed sizes were not ideal for adults. But there were plenty of blankets and pillows. Lake toys and shaded area on the dock was fantastic! Kitchen was well equipped with seating for the whole family. Host was on site and very accommodating to any adjustments that needed to be made during our stay. We love the area and will be back next year!

About the host

Hosted by Suanne Harns

Hi,
We are Mark and Suanne the owners of Point Harns. We love to share the beauty of lake living and enjoy helping people plan their summer vacation to this beautiful area.

Why they chose this property

We moved to North Idaho in 1991 from San Diego, California. We had two small children and the dream to build a home in Carlin Bay. We built our home with the intention of someday having a bed and breakfast when the kids were grown. The house is 3 levels and has a locked off apartment in the daylight basement in which we live in during the summer months. I had started to manage other lake front homes for summer rentals and after the kids were off to college we decided that we too would offer our home for summer rentals. Instead of making it a bed and breakfast it is now a 3 bedroom 2.5 bathroom home that rents only during the summer months.

What makes this property unique

We have lots of water toys that are available for our guests. We found that our guests appreciated the personal contact and information we could share about the area.

Hope to see you soon.

Suanne and Mark
