This is the perfect getaway for a large group. There were 12 of us. It rained every day but every day the sun came out long enough to go swimming in the lake, paddle boarding, kayaking (that were provided by the owner) and boating. We rented the boat because there is a beautiful pier that made it so easy to board and get off. When it did rain we had the whole downstairs that had the pinball machine & air hockey table that was put to good use. We also played cards, watched movies. We cooked every meal there using the fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils, glassware you name it, it was there. I do want to point out though, the walk down to the pier is a little steeper than it looks only because we had some elderly friends that found it a little trying because there are no handrails for them to hold onto. But this is a wonderful property and we would definitely use this property again.

Great Property and amenities. Very Pleasant home.

This was the most welcoming home I have stayed in. It was very clean, they provided the basic essentials which was a huge help, and the one level living and entry was key for Grandma. I highly recommend this home.

We were in town for our son's wedding and had booked based on location near my son's house and an estimate of how many people we might need to accommodate. Shades of Summer exceeded all of our expectations! It was incredibly spacious while still having wonderful gathering spaces, the beds were all very comfortable, and the kitchen amazingly well stocked with cookware and dishes/silverware. It was also spotlessly clean and ready for our arrival. Communication with the host was excellent. The worst part was trying to turn onto Hwy 16 at rush hour, but that's a planning issue on our part. I would 100% recommend this home!

Fabulous property, fabulous host. Would stay again.

The week went too fast! The home was comfortable, clean and had everything we needed for a wonderful family reunion. It would have been perfect if we could swim in the lake…and if there was a dresser in the “bunk room.”

house was awesome until last day where the ac went out on the top floor overall it was good

Great place!
