Cozy and comfortable!

We enjoyed staying at the Shady Grove for our spring break getaway! It was well stocked with everything that we needed and was so peaceful and quiet! We loved taking a dip in the hot tub after a day of snowboarding at WolfCreek. This is a great house and I would stay again if we headed back to South Fork!

The home itself is beautiful, and we truly loved the views. However, cleanliness was a major issue during our stay. The hot tub had visible slime on the sides and did not appear to be properly maintained. There were dead mice in the pantry, with a very strong odor that suggested they had been there for quite some time, which made the pantry unusable. The back deck also had empty beer cans with cigarette butts left in them. Additionally, parking was not close to the door, which made unloading and loading inconvenient. While the property has a lot of potential due to its location and views, the cleanliness and maintenance issues were disappointing.

Nice house

The house is the perfect size, however it was not very clean. The dishwasher had dirty dishes and it needed to be vacuumed. There was gravel from the driveway on the floors. Also, being from the south, there was no ac so it was kinda stuffy at night in the bedroom. Other than that, it needs some upkeep outside the yard was overgrown and cobwebs on the front and back porches that needed to be swept down. Good location just very far from anything. Overall okay place to stay.

Shady Grove Getaway

Most everything was completely appropriate, and as it should be. Upon check in everything seems to be clean and well cared for. There were two things that need attention. The fireplace was not connected to the thermostat, as was suggested by the labels, and during the High-winds at night, the fireplace made some quite loud clanking sounds. The outdoor hot tub had some questionable amount of dirt in the bottom, and was not used or utilized due to this fact. Aside from these two things that could obviously easily be remedied, we truly enjoyed our time and stay at this property, and would return again.
