We hosted our annual yoga retreat at The Sugar Shack and it was an amazing experience. It was well-stocked and well-organized. They had everything we could have needed. We love the open concept and turned the garage into our yoga studio. We loved the whole place and can't wait to get back!

Another Great Family Weekend

This was our second family weekend at Sugar Shack and are already planning to return next year. Our group ranged in age from 10 months to 88, and there was plenty of space and activities for everyone to throughly enjoy themselves. It is very clean, extremely well stocked, and Denise is great to work with. Highly recommend the Sugar Shack.

Absolutely beautiful property and wonderful managers!!!

What a priceless gem of a location for any type of gathering. Top notch all around and perfectly appointed. Denise the manager was absolutely wonderful to work with. I've rented many types of places at many times, this one is the best, as was the experience working with Denise to set it up perfectly. If the place is available for the dates you want - do NOT look any further!!!

This was our 3rd year having family together at the Sugar Shack. It has become a very special place in our hearts! Always clean, well equipped, fun for all ages! We love the pond and the game room! We love it all! The new garage door to the game room (windows) is a nice edition. Thanks Denise, you’ve been a great host! We are planning our next visit!

My three children and their families of three children each spent our annual Cousin camp here. Ages 6-74 and we all loved it. The Sugar Shack is so much fun with amazing touches and everything you could possibly need included. The grounds are beautiful and well maintained, with tons of area to spread out and explore. The pond provided hours of entertainment of swimming, fishing, catching tad poles and frogs. The yard was perfect for kick ball games and Jedi training. We loved sitting around the fire pit at night and playing games on one of the huge tables. My son found the smoker and made some awesome ribs. There is no way you could possibly describe this place without experiencing it. Best cousin camp ever!!
