Happy Harbor: cute cottage 1 block from Indian Lake.

Welcome to the Happy Harbor at Russell's Point Indian Lake! This adorably finished Lake House cottage is ready for your next getaway.

Wake up to a cup of coffee at the cottage or head a few blocks to Gathered Grounds, our nearby artisan coffee shop.

Don't forget to walk the bridge at Sandy Beach and stop by The Donut Shop! Plan your day on the water thanks to Spend-A-Day Marina with boat rentals nearby or head out to Fox Island for the playground and beach. If you have your own boat, you're welcome to park on site and drop in at Lakeview Harbor up the road or we're also 1 block from the Indian Lake Yacht Club. Lots of local dining options and a yoga studio all within a few blocks.

Going out not your thing? This home also has everything you'd need to stay in and cozy up, either on the front patio with grill & fire pit or inside where the furnishings are comfy and lake vibes are strong.

High speed internet w/ smart TV and kids a play area with Nintendo to keep everyone entertained.

Wonderful place to stay
The cottage was exactly as pictured on the website, getting to the cottage was extremely easy, everything was clean and we had all that we needed. They even went the extra mile and had small makeup towels for me. The bath towels were large and absorbent (which makes a difference when you normally get small white thin towels)! Most places we go to were within walking distance. Overall, this was a very pleasant place to stay and definitely a do-over!!

Quiet, quaint getaway
Happy Harbor was the perfect little bungalow getaway from my friend and I. Plenty of space to lounge, cook, and do some art together. Lots of choices for food and drink nearby - walking or short drives. Emily was great with communication.

Awesome Getaway
We had a wonderful time at Happy Harbour cottage. The cottage is adorable and beautifully decorated. We were within walking distance of several great places to grab a bite/drink. Owners absolutely wonderful!! We traveled with our cat, Frankie, who gave the place 2 paws up! We will definitely be coming back.

Perfect for family relaxation
We aren't far from home so I didn't pack much for the kids to do. Our kids were very happy to see a video game console (old school, which kept their attention longer than even our Switch at home), many board games, kids books, legos, and even stuffies. There was plenty of space for all 5 of us plus our dogs. The beds and pull out couch are all comfortable. They provided plenty of amenities including a book with all the local favorite places. We spent hours at the beach, took lots of walks, enjoyed the play grounds, and tried a few restaurants. We can't wait to boom again!

The cutest place!
Even though the place is very small, it is the cutest thing and perfect for our short weekend trip. Good quality items inside as well. The outdoor area feels very secluded with the trees across the street.

Delightful weekend away
The house was adorable! It was stocked with everything we needed. At one point i wished i had a pair of scissors, found them in a drawer soon after. Everything was clean and well organized. The area was so cute, the neighbors were friendly and talked with us to help avoid issues between our dogs. The check in was easy and had no complications. We didn't need anything during our stay bit every message we sent to the owners was answered very quickly. One of the nicest house rentals Ive found. May have to enjoy it in the summer too!

Easy and convenient place to stay for Airstreamers having multi-day work done at factory in Jackson Center (especially if your panels being removed and terraport isn’t feasible option). Basic food and sundries readily available in local area. Host is super easy to work with.

Amazing little cottage!
Happy Harbor was absolutely perfect! The location, the amenities, the comfort...all of it! It had everything we needed! Listing and photos are spot on! We walked to Fox Island, we walked to The Donut Shop (de-lish!!) and along the bike/hike trail. Another day, after we drove to Pew Island and did a nice walk on the trails, we had lunch at Tilton Hilton (dang good burgers!) After lunch we hit the Cherokee Trail Head. (more great trails) Indian Head Roadhouse and Indian Lake Brewery were great little stops along the way 'home' when we were done exploring and hiking! We had questions about the TV and Emily got back to us right away...as was the case throughout our time prior to arrival as well. She is an exceptional host! Highly, highly, highly recommend this cottage! It was such a great weekend getaway! Lisa, Scott and Nola Rue 🐕

Perfect Fall Getaway
The cottage was warm even with high wind and low temps. We enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and lake decor. It was quiet, a quick walk to the marina and very close to restaurants and stores. Everything we were looking for - and the weather cooperated with sunshine and blue skies. Emily was very responsive and helpful.

Cozy modern cottage with great amenities
First things first: Every interaction with our host, Emily, was fantastic. She was extremely responsive to messages, and flexible with accommodating some scheduling requests. (Thank you also for the offer of those garden tomatoes!) The cottage itself is adorable, yet also modern. It’s cozy, but has plenty of space. Loved the kitchen, especially. We also appreciated having access to washcloths, hand towels and dish towels in addition to bath towels. Same with hand soap and cleaning supplies. This was definitely one of the better-stocked rentals we’ve seen. All in all it was an absolutely delightful stay. I have just a few things I’d suggest to make this space perfect: 1) While everything that matters was clean, the house was also quite dusty, so maybe something to address in the off-season? ;-) 2) The kitchen was well-stocked with everything you could need, but all of the pots and pans — all with non-stick coating — were badly scraped up and (in my opinion) not really safe to use. 3) This might just be my hang-up with sliding-glass doors, but we were surprised there wasn’t a safety bar to put in the track. Better peace of mind, you know? Please please take these as well-intentioned suggestions, and nothing more. We loved our time here and would stay again in a heartbeat!

Great Little Cabin by the Lake
Cozy little place by the lake. Clean, comfortable. Has everything you need for a nice weekend at the lake. Lighting was poor in the living room area and the grill needs replaced/repaired. The owner responded quickly and answered all questions. Would stay at again!

all you need is your suitcase
"Happy harbor" was very clean, comfortable & nicely updated. The owners have truly provided several extra amenities, everything you could need to make it feel like home. All the linens are luxurious, clean & fresh, enough for the whole family all week!! There are several restaurants,stores & bars in walking distance. 3 min. walk to harbor dock for boat pick up also! You could get by w/o a car. The outdoor space provided was so peaceful & cute with the "party lights" fire pit & plenty of seating. Easy unloading your car with parking right at back sliding door. I would definitely reccomend & stay here again. You can't beat the $$ value! "The landing" & "LuLu's" serve delicious breakfasts. "Woodys" (short drive) has the best food & "Indian Head" for atmosphere & Bloody Marys! My husband & I truly enjoyed our stay & thank our wonderful hosts! We wish you the same enjoyable experience & great memories!! Sharon & Kurt FL
