LOVE how close it is to the lake

Cozy home on a very large section with a creek the kids loved exploring. Our group also really enjoyed the ping pong table. Great location close to the lake with some fun nearby hikes.

Loved it!

We can't wait to visit again! One of the best stocked places we've ever stayed. Plenty of blankets, towels, toilet paper, fire wood, etc. Everything we needed to be comfortable. Kids had the best time playing on the trampoline, Wii, ping pong, badminton, and splashing in the creek. Plenty of space for a large group.

Peaceful Getaway

We had such a wonderful stay at this charming property! The house was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed to feel right at home. The setting was peaceful and inviting—perfect for a relaxing getaway.One of our favorite parts was exploring the creek right behind the house. It was an unexpected adventure! We also launched the boat from Shangri La Resort - mountain harbor ramp was underwater - And we highly recommend stopping by the restaurant there—the pie alone is worth the trip!The host was kind, responsive, and thoughtful throughout our stay. This place gave us everything we hoped for—a mix of rest, nature, and simple joys. We’d definitely come back again!
