I have ZERO problems or complaints. They treated my home with respect and kindness, and they followed all the house rules. They were great guests, and are welcome back anytime.
We had a wonderful time, the home is located close to the lake and campsites. It was so nice to have our family all together, the outside area is very nice.
We had a family wedding and this place was the perfect spot for my family and myself to stay. Plenty of room, close to town, and loved the hot tub. Thanks so much!
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!
This was a great location not far from the lake with plenty of room to park our boat. It was clean, and the outdoor space was a great bonus
and the professor
This place delivered! The beds were comfy, plenty of space and the patio was awesome! 5 minutes from Shelbyville on a straight road so very easy to get to town.
Awesome , had everything we needed plus. Close to Lake Shelbyville, plenty of parking for our boat, nice fenced patio, hot tub and fire pit. Relaxing!!!! Definitely will return .
So clean so beautiful , co.fortable beds , had everything we needed for a wonderful stay ! Cant say enough good things to do it justice . The outdoor space was above and beyond expectations , the hosts clearly have thought of everything !!!
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!
Overall we had a great stay. Property is within minutes of Lithia Springs Marina where we kept our boats. They have an excellent outdoor area with fire pit, hot tub, and plenty of room to set up outdoor games. AC functioned well even with 100 degree temperatures. Host was very responsive and made check in/out very easy.
When I first pulled up I was unsure if I was in the correct location. The inside is very nice and clean. More than enough room for everyone. The back patio was a great place to relax.
Our families were in town for a family reunion close by so this was a great place for us. The kitchen & living room were very small but didn’t bother us because we were gone a lot & mostly just needed a place to sleep. With 4 bedrooms & multiple bathrooms, that gave us room to get ready for our day with adequate space. The patio was really nice with great furniture & hot tub (just needs a little shade).
Overall property fit our needs. Good location from lake/marina. Kitchen and living room kind of small for 6 people. Need to purchase a new TV picture was dark and very hard to see. We tried to adjust the brightness but it didn’t help
