All was as listed. Room for our group of 12. We loved all the water toys, sandy beach & floating dock. Nice shallow water was perfect for all the grandkids to play in the water. Beautiful sunsets. Stores were only a few minutes away for any additional needs.

Family weekend

Very clean and well stocked. Enjoyed the hot tub. Great central location for family traveling from MN, northern WI and Chicago. Enjoyed Friday night fish fry at Silvercryst Restaurant- a wonderful old fashioned WI supper club and outdoor activities at nearby Nordic Mountain. We would stay here again.

Guys weekend

Immediately impressed by how much the property had to offer. We opted to rent a pontoon boat, but even if we didnt, the property had various paddle boats and canoes to enjoy. Great spot for bonfires. House was well kept and well staged for a vacation rental. 10/10 would book here again

The property was very good and the beach and access to the water was great for swimming, playing and fishing. The only thing I would change is there was no pantry type storage for groceries. Overall it was a great experience and great property. The property managers were wonderful to work with. We were a group of a variety of ages 2 to 59 and everyone had a great time.

Great house with lake views and lots of places to sleep!

We had a wedding in the family near Wautoma over the weekend. This was the perfect place for some of the family to stay together. Two full bathrooms, lots of places to sleep, lake views, 3 season porch, full of amenities....it was home away from home. We had a wonderful weekend. Thank you for sharing your home with us!

Merry Christmas Get Away

We were looking for a place for our extended family to spread out and relax. What a treat to enjoy a fire in the fireplace and play games at a large table with an awesome view. Our winter wonderland was a bit spoiled by rain but we had plenty of space so we didn’t get stir crazy. Bonus - a Christmas tree and other decorations.

Shimmering Shores lived up to its name

We had wonderful family times at Shimmering Shores for my Mom’s 90th birthday. The fireplace was great for our first night there in the rain. The view from the sun porch is beautiful! We enjoyed the use of the kayaks, paddle boat, fishing boat, and canoe. The fishing was excellent! We had one delicious dinner caught by my sister and brother.

Amazing Christmas get away with family

We rented this amazing property to spend Christmas with our family. Everyone loved it. It was the perfect place for us all to be together. The house is warm and cozy with plenty of room for family. It's located on a beautiful lake that would be amazing in the summertime. THe house was very attentive and accommodating. I would definitely stay here again and we are even considering renting it again this summer and possibly again next year for Christmas.

Best mini vacation

We had 15 people of all range of ages from 80 to teens. This place was an amazing and has everything for everyone. Our kids went to boat ride and late night we had camp fire s’mores with homemade marshmallow. Our internet wasn’t working and when we inquired they came promptly and fixed it. Their service were top notch and I can’t complain anything. Thank you for making our stay memorable.

2023 Family Vacation

A little rough start as given wrong key code to get in and hot tub wasn't working, had to wait a couple of days to enjoy that. Loved the lake, very clean and not overly crowded with water traffic. Great location for spectacular sunsets, shallow shoreline for the younger children, great for kayaking, peddle boating, and paddle boarding, fishing off the pier, patio under three season porch with great view from both locations of the lake, and the privacy of this location was greatly appreciated. Enjoyed bonfires on the shoreline. We had a very enjoyable and memorable family vacation.

Girls Weekend

We had a girls weekend and it went great. The water was perfect, nice sandy bottom to the lake, hot tub was great, house had relatively comfortable beds. Neighbors apparently take pictures of the number of cars in the driveway, which I thought was quite odd seeing as the property is advertised to sleep 16 people. Other than that, the stay was great. Property is definitely not walking distance to any local restaurants or taverns, so plan on having a car to get anywhere.
