The shack was such a nice place to stay! It had everything we needed and was very clean and cozy. It looks exactly like the pictures. We didn’t have any problems while we were there. The binder and visitors guides were very helpful! We would definitely stay again!

We had the best time staying at this beautiful home! It was spotless, cozy, and had everything we could’ve possibly needed. The space was even better than the photos—so clean, thoughtfully decorated, and in a perfect location. It was the perfect spot for a relaxing girls’ weekend, and we truly couldn’t have asked for more. The host was friendly, responsive, and made everything super easy. We’d come back in a heartbeat. Highly, highly recommend!
