This was a great cabin inside and out. Very private place in the woods right next to the water. I would stay here again. P.S. Best stocked kitchen I have seen yet.

Wonderful stay again this year!

We're just returning from our third year staying at Shady Oaks. The location is absolutely perfect. The cabin has 0a homey feel. The only suggestion would be more comfortable/functional furniture in the living room.We love staying there and look forward to it every year!

Cute little place, nice on lake property, pictures make it look better than it is.

Overall it was okay. It was nice that it was on the lake but there was quite a few downsides. One, the Smart TV was terrible. The last person did not log out of Netflix so I could not log in. There is no local live tv. Only live shows were shows no one watches or news from CA or Washington. Nice outside area but no lights leading to the dock and no outside lights for at night to see where you are going for a fire or a walk to the dock. The dock was caked with spiderwebs at the end, someone could easily take care of that with the cleanings in between. The outside lights did not work and were full of birds nests. The patio area was covered in ant hills and ants everywhere. The dressers were old and did not have enough room. There were no closets and only room to hang a few items. We used the lower bunk as a “closet “. The kitchen was a decent size but the pots and pans were terrible. Either they were weird sizes or everything stuck to them. The coffee pot was awful!! The keurig part was fine but the full pot was awful! It spilled all over because it could not find the hole to coffee in the pot. We actually had to remove the pot lid so I would go in the pot. Then using a regular filter and coffee, the coffee grounds went all over and for some unknown reason didn’t stay in the filter. The driveway and parking were not the best. They should tell you it is a very tight long driveway with barely enough room to park your truck and boat trailer. The only bonus there it that you were right next to the boat landing. Overall the only reason I’d stay there again would be for the lake and boat access but I’d try to find something else on that chain of lakes first.

Cozy inside Cold outside

Nice cabin. Has good privacy and close to town. Don't use the free close ramp! Go up the arm to the $5 ramp. Bring 125 ft. of extension cord if you need it for your boat batteries. Would stay here again. Very good communication with the renting agent.
