Great for large group

The layout of this house is PERFECT for a large group, especially of varying ages, with bedrooms on one side and common areas on the other. The fully equipped kitchen made it easy to prepare large group meals. And the living room was so cozy and welcoming for our winter weekend getaway. The lake access was perfect for ice fishing and I’d imagine even better for summer swimming fun.

Awesome Lake House!

We had an amazing time! The host was very gracious and communicated effectively. I have a 7 year old Autistic son and I was worried about being so close to the lake, but I bought some door sensors from Amazon to ensure he didn’t elope. Every thing worked out we really enjoyed our stay!

Great spot, super private, tons of space!

The Shadow Retreat house was exactly as the pictures look: a serene, private, older home with lots of character. Our group enjoyed kayaking to the nearby sandy beach to swim and the lake is pretty good for fishing, too. There's lots of spots to gather and dine inside and out. The game room is a super fun bonus.
