Mom's 80th bday get away

It was decorated nicely and the host was very helpful. A few things needed some attention like toilet downstairs wasn't fastened good. And the stairs were a little scary and steep. Other then that we had a great time and it was right on the lake and we got to fish. We all had a great time.

Relaxing river stay

This was a great place to stay. More than enough room for our family of 3. I definitely want to come back with more family. We spent a majority of our time fishing and caught a bunch. Loved it!

Awesome and restful while on a very stressful project

This trip was for business. the layout of 3 bedrooms and two baths worked wonderfully! We were on a very stressful project and I hate to think where my team and I would be if we had stayed at a hotel. The location let us relax as if we were away from anyone else and yet we were maybe 10 mins from the Piggly Wiggly, CVS, Dollar Store. I will be back with the wife, grandkids, and a boat! And I can't say enough about Ms Shannon!!!! I couldn't decide if I was talking to my mother or a date! She was so awesome on the phone, I can't wait to meet her later this year!(with my wife with me to keep me in line) It is a beautiful HOME. You don't feel like you paid for a house, you feel like you are at home. Thank You, Ma'am!!!!

Peaceful and beautiful stay

This was perfect for our family to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake views. We enjoyed the nearby Beeswax Park, Shelby Sandwich shop, and The Point Grill. Bring groceries if you plan to eat in, because there are only convenience stores in the area. Our family really enjoyed the house, but if you have very young children, the stairs might be a bit steep. Also, if you need a handicap accessible bathroom, this probably won’t work. Otherwise, don’t hesitate to stay here! The owner is very responsive to communication.
