The Shady Nook!
My friends and I can’t say enough great things about The Shady Nook! First of all, Pam gave such great & clear info prior to arrival regarding amenities to house & check in process! She answered any question I had during the stay within 10 minutes & was overall incredibly accommodating! The house & view were BEAUTIFUL! We couldn’t believe how spacious it was & how many bathrooms it had! (That is KEY when you put 25 girls together for a weekend). The hangout spots were perfect & the bedrooms were tucked far enough away that when some guests wanted to go to sleep early they couldn’t even hear the rest of the group! (Again hard to accomplish with a group of girls that big haha).. 10/10 recommend the shady nook for your large group stay! Would love to come back here some day! Thank you Pam!

The house was equipped with everything that any one would want to have in their own home.
The house was very cozy, even though it is very large.

Family Vacation
Wonderful stay at the Lake Retreat! The host was quick to respond and assist. We stayed with a big family and all had space and a place to sleep, everything was provided. Would definitely consider this cabin again in the future!
