Great house and location!!

Beautiful and very cozy home. Very clean and organized. Beautiful view and relaxing yard with dock. We rented this house for a UTV ride weekend. It was close to trails, had ample parking for our trailer, two cars and even our SxS. We enjoyed this house so much, we’d love to return for a summer stay and enjoy the lake.

Great Stay!

We needed a last minute place to get out of town for the weekend while work was being done at our house. Found Shore ‘Nuff and we’re so glad we did. Beautiful views out onto the lake, loads of room and everything we needed - even down to little extras like spices left in the cupboard which aren’t always supplied but very much appreciated. We stayed in most of the weekend because of the rain but enjoyed hanging out, reading and playing games. Thanks for a great stay!

Great place to stay, beautiful lake view

The house is well stocked with everything you might need. They had a lot of extra stuff for kids which made it easier on us to not have to bring extra kid stuff. The owners were friendly and everything went great.
