Beautiful house on the water, nice yard and nice and clean. Only downfall was the parking so close to the road. But wonderful time!

This was the second time we stayed at A Shore Thing. It’s our fall adult escape where we get together with friends, drink our favorite beverages and tell stories around a fire by the lake. Three couples works out very nice because each has their own bathroom. The only issue was the main floor shower drains slowly and should be addressed. We take our own firewood and kept the fire burning and beverages flowing and all had a great time. Till next year.

Thank you for choosing A Shore Thing again and for sharing how you enjoy your time there with friends. We appreciate you mentioning the slow-draining main floor shower, and we will have it checked and addressed. It is great to hear the layout worked well for your group and that you all had a great stay by the lake.
