Everything was absolutely perfect. We were in the area for a conference at near by Latimer Reserve. We could not have picked a cleaner, more comfortable and beautiful home to stay in. Im not sure which was more enjoyable, coffee on the back porch while watching the deer or while snuggling with the barn cat, Koko. I would highly recommend Shawn's cottage if you are looking for a relaxing getaway.
We couldn't have asked for a better stay, location, or host. The place was clean as a whistle and comfortable. We got to see multiple shooting stars, had plenty of privacy, Mr Lester was so pleasant and accommodating. Thank you guys so much for having us- it was an incredible experience!
The cottage was perfect!!! It was close to Fall Creek Falls, but after a long day of hiking, the back porch offered a wonderful retreat, with a view of the deer grazing in the pasture as the sun was setting. The cottage had everything we needed for a girls' getaway weekend! We cooked in two nights and everything was wonderful! Next time we will take advantage of the fire pit.
I enjoyed the cottage, which was very clean and thoughtfully designed. I loved the shower, with enough hot water for long showers. I have no complaints. The host’s dad lives next door and even quickly offered to bring milk for my coffee. We didn't use the kitchen, but the appliances and basic cookware were available. The state park is about 20 minutes from the property. A cat named Koko greeted us and was there to say goodbye when we left. I highly recommend this cottage. Thank you for hosting us.
This place is absolutely beautiful. The pictures don’t do it justice! Shawn is a great host! Responds right away to messages. KoKo the kitty is adorable. This is such a peaceful place to stay. The porches (there are 2) have amazing views and great seating. We had thunderstorms and thoroughly enjoyed them sitting on the porches. The cottage itself is beautiful, modern, very clean and comfortable.
This stay was great. Very peaceful property. Handicap accessible which would be a huge plus for some travelers. Hosts communicated well and helped us out when the frisbee landed on the roof. Ops! Highly recommend staying here.
This cottage was absolutely perfect! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how beautifully decorated and thoughtfully furnished it was. It truly had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing stay.The cottage was spotlessly clean, the beds were incredibly comfortable, and the shower was beautiful. But the real highlight was the peaceful country setting. The views were gorgeous, and we loved sitting in the covered outdoor space in the mornings, watching the sunrise and deer grazing in the open field. It was so peaceful and relaxing!The fire pit was another wonderful touch. It was stocked with everything we needed—even marshmallow sticks—which made enjoying an evening by the fire so easy and fun.You can tell the owners put a lot of thought and care into making this cottage feel special. It was cozy, beautiful, peaceful, and had all the little touches that made our stay feel like a true getaway.We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely return. Highly recommend this beautiful cottage! Let’s not forget Koko the barn kitty. She was a delight.
The owners are wonderful people. We enjoyed listening to family stories and learning about the history of the home. The home had everything we could possibly need. The property is Beautiful. This is one of the BEST places we have ever rented. We highly recommend staying at this home.
Amazing! The pictures do not do it justice. Everything was beautiful and super clean! And Koko was so sweet! The host was very responsive. I would not hesitate to book again!
The home is amazing, beautiful inside and outside. Great touches all around. The wheelchair entrance was great to use. The shower was my favorite part.Met the Father who lives next door and he was a charmer and so sweet. Our time here was very cherished and love to come back soon! Also so close to FCF state park.
Beautiful location, very peaceful and relaxing. Perfect accommodations, comfortable and very clean. This was our second visit and we plan on coming back in the future.
The host was very communicative & prompt. You will be totally blessed by the experience of staying at Shane’s Country Cottage. It was the cleanest, quietest, most quaint, but modern place you will ever have the pleasure of experiencing. Be sure to read the notebook that explains the cottage & the items in it.

The Riggs family is doing it right! Everything from check-in, to decor, amenities, and cleanliness-top shelf! You would be hard pressed to find this kind of luxury anywhere around. What a find!
A fantastic fall break getaway with my high school senior. We enjoyed downtime in this cute, cozy, clean cottage! The porches were perfect for sunrise coffee before hiking waterfalls during the day, and sunset relaxing afterwards. Fantastic hosts and property! Can’t wait to go back again, that sunrise calls to me!

Thank you, Melissa. We are so glad the cottage gave you and your senior a relaxing and memorable fall break. Those sunrise and sunset moments are exactly what we love most about the property, and it is wonderful to hear they made your stay special. We would be happy to welcome you both back anytime.
Staying at Shane's cottage was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by a peaceful atmosphere and beautiful surroundings, making it easy to relax and unwind. The cottage itself was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated, with all the amenities we needed for a comfortable stay.
We especially loved the quiet mornings, enjoying coffee while taking in the scenic views, and the evenings were just as special—perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring the state parks and waterfalls.
The attention to detail, from the comfortable furnishings to the well-equipped kitchen, really made it feel like a home away from home.
Overall, it was a truly memorable getaway. I would highly recommend this cottage to anyone looking for a peaceful, comfortable, and charming place to stay. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you!
We had the best time!! The cottage is so clean, beautifully decorated, and so comfortable! My family and I especially enjoyed KoKo, the cat. It was also a pleasure meeting Lester and Aspen. Lester will take care of anything you need. We will definitely stay here again in the future!
Relaxing and serene. The fields were so beautiful. We took a ton of pics for my daughter’s birthday. The cottage was gorgeous. The pictures don’t do it justice. Lester was absolutely the best and took care of us like we were family. We WILL be back!!!
