We had a wonderful week at Shady Grove (8/20 to 8/27). Bottom line: the house was superb. Now the details.
First, the house condition was immaculate and it has excellent air-conditioning. Second, the house is well stocked with kitchen utensils, plates, bowls, silverware, good quality appliances (including a large refrigerator with ice maker), a charcoal grill, a Roku television (reasonably, guests need to have their own subscriptions to Netflix, Disney+, etc.), a hair dryer, shampoo and body wash in the showers, and a portable high chair. Third, the beds were comfortable. We were a family of 8, ranging in age from 3 to 76, with several millennials. The house accommodated everyone well. The wrap-around deck provided plenty of extra space when someone needed to get away from the playful screaming of the 3 and 7-year old. The photos in the listing accurately capture the sense of privacy for the house, even though there are other houses nearby.
One small complaint: the information provided was not fully accurate. The house has MORE amenities than we were told. We were told there was no grill, and so we brought a grill with us. Yet, as noted, there was a good charcoal grill. We were told that the dining table could not be expanded, and that there were only 4 dining chairs, and so we brought a card table. In fact, the table does expand and holds 8 people comfortably; and there are 8 dining chairs (with an additional desk chair and folding chair) available in addition to the bar chairs at the kitchen counter, which could be used for the table in the screened porch.
We look forward to returning.
