About this house rental
Escape to Shady Willow Acres, a private 9,000 sq. ft. getaway set on 99 beautiful acres. With room for up to 22 guests, it’s a great spot for family gatherings, group getaways, retreats, or just a relaxing weekend away.
There’s plenty to do without ever leaving the property. Play a round on the indoor pickleball court, catch a movie in the home theater, hang out in the game room, or head outside to explore the private trails and ponds. With mature trees, rolling hills, ridges, valleys, and plenty of wildlife, there’s always something to take in.
Our 7-bedroom home with 6 full bathrooms and 3 half baths was designed with groups in mind, with tons of space to gather or spread out and get comfortable.
The main floor has several sitting areas, a formal dining room, spacious kitchen, five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, two half baths, laundry, and the indoor pickleball court. The large primary suite also includes a private bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower.
Downstairs, you’ll find another full kitchen, plenty of lounge space, a home theater, pool table and darts, a poker room, arcade games, two bedrooms, one full bathroom, and one half bath.
Outside, there’s a large deck and patio with grills, plenty of seating, and a fire pit—perfect for hanging out after a day of exploring. Take a walk along the property’s trail system, go cross-country skiing in the winter, check out the two ponds, and keep an eye out for deer, pheasants, turkeys, ducks, and geese.
Whether you’re here to relax, explore, play, or spend time together, Shady Willow Acres gives you plenty of space to make the most of your stay.

An absolutely amazing house. Everything and more in terms of amenities and thoughtful considerations for travelers. The host was lightning fast responsive. A fun property inside and outside. We had elderly parents and children with us and the property was perfectly accommodating.

The house was a great location for the offsite retreat we held. The host was very responsive. Highly recommend.

Such a fantastic place to stay with all of our team!! Everyone was able to have their own space to gather or have some alone time! Very well equipped with everything you could need and more! We are hoping to stay there again next year!
8 / 10Excellent·Jan 2026
Communication with the host was great, very prompt. The home was great and definitely had the space our group needed. The pinball machine did not work, and it would've been nice if there were food storage options (ziploc bags, foil, or bowls with lids). With such a large group, there was a lot of food leftover, needed to put away. Hard to bring things home.Otherwise, the home itself is beautiful. Thank you and we plan to be back next year.
