Property was very clean and we enjoyed our stay! Not a typical "woodsy" location for Shelbyville, but the amenities of the property kept our older kids & teens busy.

Great spot for a family or a group of fishermen that are visiting Lake Shelbyville. Plenty of parking for boats and trucks. The game room was awesome. We all enjoyed the front patio with the hot tub and grill. We will definitely be back!

Terrific Lake Trip Stay

This home was a great place for our party of 7, ranging in age from 83 to 21 to stay for our boating weekend at Lake Shelbyville. The outdoor space was perfect for relaxing around the fire after a long day on the water!

Great Holiday weekend!

It worked great for us and our adult children! With 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms and an extra separate shower it was great after a day on the lake. We loved having a grill and enjoyed a fire in fire pit several evenings. Back patio is great!
