From the moment we arrived we loved the place. Right from our initial walk around tour, where we were pleasantly surprised by the owners thoughtful house warming gifts to our final walk thru when we were leaving...we absolutely loved this place. We met the owners several times during our stay and they are the best. All of our needs and concerns were either anticipated before hand or handled ASAP. The Cedar Shack has it all, including a commercial ice machine and draft beer system ! While the house itself is well appointed and very clean, the key here is location, and I can't imagine a better one. The house and decks are designed to take advantage of the corner location on the river. Views upstream, views downstream and views up otter creek, Amazing. You can spend all day watching the boat traffic and you also have a birds eye view of nesting herons and nesting osprey. Manatees and otters swim by the dock. Fishing from the lower dock every morning, great for bullheads, skate, snapper and a few fish I didn't know. Afternoon sun on the upper dock and if its to hot you can go below by the hot tub and hang out in the shade. Evenings on the deck by the house having cocktails and playing cards. Each place with a view. I don't want to neglect the house, like I said very well appointed and clean. Both bedrooms have sliding glass doors to the deck and again great views. We left the curtains open so we could watch the shrimp and crab boats going out each morning. The kitchen is well stocked and has everything you need. Even though you may never want to leave the Cedar Shack with its quiet secluded location, it is close to bars, restaurants, shopping and sightseeing. While looking at the guestbook we saw a lot of repeat customers, after staying there I know why. Our Thanks to the owners for sharing their beautiful house with us.
