We stayed at Shearer Cabin at Shady Point Resort for 4 days and 3 nights and had a wonderful, relaxing stay.The location was one of the highlights. Our cabin was right by the water, with 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms. Two bedrooms faced the lake, and the sunroom was a perfect place to sit, enjoy the beautiful view, and relax.There was plenty to do, including kayaking, paddleboarding, canoeing, badminton, volleyball, and hiking nearby. The area was also great for stargazing at night. We enjoyed seeing other guests having campfires and fireworks, which added to the cottage atmosphere.The cabin was clean, private, and comfortable, with both air conditioning and heating. We experienced a sudden cold snap toward the end of our stay, and the heating struggled a little to warm the entire cottage, but it was manageable and didn't affect our overall experience.The property was very peaceful, and since we visited outside the school vacation period, it sometimes felt like we had the place to ourselves. There is also a playground and sauna, although we didn't get to use them.Foodland and other amenities are within walking distance, which was very convenient.Overall, we had a great experience. Waking up beside the lake, spending time on the water, and relaxing in the sunroom made our stay especially memorable. We would definitely come back!

Great location, Shopping and dining all are in walking distance. Lots of activities for free, like canoe, kayak, paddle boat. And motor boats for rent as well . The water shoreline is so beautiful. The only downside is internet speed is kind of slow.

Rest & Recharge

What can I say… this cottage is cozy and relaxing. A corner cottage with the best views of the lake. The sunroom was the perfect play area for my 11 month old without feeling like she was inside. The outdoor shower and sauna are a must experience and their located right on the property! Mo and Andy are the perfect hosts and I can’t recommend this place enough. I look forward to my family’s return in the fall.

Nice location

The location of the cottage is well positioned right by the water. could have a fire while being feet from the waters edge. The pontoon boat was nice once we ran it around for a while to get it warm. Didn't catch a lot of fish but we need to ask around to find out where they are. We were there in later May and it was Cold and wet but it looks like it might be a nice place to go when the water is warm.

Amazing!!

I’m not a person that leaves reviews, actually this is my first one but I couldn’t not say anything. Every single thing was more than great! Staff is more than nice and welcoming. Place is just like on the pictures. We were there on weekdays and it was so quiet and peaceful. Perfect time to escape from the city and enjoy the nature. All staff members are great human beings . It was a pleasure meeting them. We will be back for sure and we would recommend this place for everyone who wants to book it!! All the best for you guys and see you soon

I have heard from my staff that you had a wonderful time. You've come as strangers but left as friends. We hope to see you again next year! Mo and Andy

Great end of season get away

Has a great cottage feel but is still close to amenities. The Shearer has a panoramic view of the lake from the screened in porch. It is very convenient to have 2 bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. Everything worked properly. There are lots of activities available ie: Kayaks, play ground, volleyball etc In an effort to make you guests stay even more pleasurable more detailed cleaning would be recommended. Suggestions to provide the following could be helpful to your guests. A vaccum of floor mop, clock. Cutlery, mugs and wine glasses to meet the capacity of the cottages adult guests.
