We had a really nice time at Steve and Karen's place in Shelby. The house had everything we needed, and it's lovely to be able to go from woodsy retreat to sunsets on the lake in about 100 steps. I really enjoyed being able to stand out on the boardwalk high above the lake at any time of day, within a minute of leaving the house. The neighbors are all kind and the entire area is very peaceful, and the beach is beautiful. I highly recommend this location, though I give our stay four stars because several of the hosts' expectations were not clear in advance and caught us off guard--for example, we were expected to bring our own sheets and towels, but I hadn't known that in advance (though they were gracious in providing them to us). The prominent placement of paper plates and plastic cups throughout the kitchen felt like a strong hint to avoid using the real thing, and the check-out cleaning to-do list, which was shared with me the night before we left, was much more burdensome (sweeping, mopping, vacuuming, mirrors, shower, toilet, etc.) than I'd ever experienced at a homestay before. When I did reach out, Steve and Karen were incredibly prompt and kind in their responses. With a bit more clarity in advance on the house rules, this is an easy five stars.
