It was great. Better then we hoped for. The pictures don't do it justice. It was very clean, the beds were so comfortable and it was beautifully furnished.

We really enjoyed our stay at Shady Pines Retreat. Very relaxing and incredibly quiet. The residence was clean and comfortable. The pond was well stocked if you like to fish. Very close to Crater diamond state park. Scott and Tammy are awesome hosts.

Our family got together for a weekend and this was a perfect place! The house was great and the pond our kids loved!

10.0 / 10.0

This house was such a perfect place for our family to stay and explore Murfreesboro and dig for diamonds. Our kids loved exploring around the pond. It is so beautiful that words don't do it justice! We took advantage of the digging tools provided for Crater of Diamonds State Park, and although we didn't strike it rich, we did have a huge amount of fun. The kitchen had everything we needed to fry up the fish we caught at Lake Greeson, and we definitely kept the washer and dryer going after our adventures at the mine. We would absolutely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

Shady Pines will offer you a clean, quiet, and relaxing home to stay when you are in need of a place to rest up. We stayed for three nights while we were in town to dig for diamonds. We were four adults and Shady Pines provided us all with plenty of space to relax and enjoy our time together. Having the washer and dryer was a big plus so we could wash our clothes after a day of digging. The value for what Shady Pines offers is great! I recommend Shady Pines for the reasons noted above, plus the host was always available when needed.

10.0 / 10.0

We enjoyed the space and how close it was to the State Park. Our kids had room to roam and try to catch some fish in the pond. No luck though. Great place to stay for a larger group or a family who wants space and privacy.

Close enough to the COD to be convenient, far enough away to be quiet. The pond was beautiful and fun to fish. Plenty of "little things" make this place special. Condiments abound, they have a good selection of hand tools to borrow for use at the crater. We'd stay here again for sure!

Fully equipped kitchen. Pond in the back was a wonderful feature that we all enjoyed.

10.0 / 10.0

Everything was perfect. We had the best time with our boys! The party barge was a HUGE success with the older two who were literally up at 5am each morning to get their fishing stuff together and spend the morning on the lake catching fish and hanging out. That allowed us busy, always on the go mommas to sleep in and just have lazy mornings for the first time in months. We truly enjoyed our stay and could not have been happier with the location to everything. We ate lunch at the Feed Bin and it was delicious!!!! Highly recommend!

My daughter, my three small grandsons, and I enjoyed our stay very much. We had very comfortable beds, plenty of room, and a well supplied kitchen. It was so nice to wake up early and enjoy the front porch with a cup of coffee and then later sit out back and watch the boys run around and explore the yard. The property is situated on a nice quiet country road.

We were so impressed with the cleanliness of the house, it had plenty of room for the five of us. My grandkids had plenty of room to play outside. The boat was an added bonus that my son in law and grandson loved. I think we might’ve heard one vehicle pass in front of the house in the five days we were there. There’s plenty of pots and pans, towels and linens. We felt at home while we were there.

10.0 / 10.0

The house was awesome. We enjoyed the place tremendously! Loved taking the boat out and catching fish. It was so peaceful and relaxing after a day of digging for diaminds. Unfortunately, we did not score any diamonds but we will be back. :)

10.0 / 10.0

The home was inviting and clean. Homemade brownies were waiting for us after a long drive, which was a nice touch. We came prepared with our own tools for diamond digging, but it was nice to have a few extras there at the house for us. I would highly recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay close to the part. It was perfect. Oh, and the TV made it easy to log into our own Netflix and other accounts. Just ideal.

This property was perfect for a family vacation. There were supplies provided for diamond digging, the lake was a great place to fish, and the house was clean. The kids really enjoyed it. We would definitely stay here again.

10.0 / 10.0

The best way I can describe the property is camping with a house. The absolute to fish on property, sit on the porch and enjoy a good book or make a fire and make s’mores is something our family loved. Cell phone reception is horrible so it allowed us to truly unplug and reset as a family. We loved it and will be back soon.
