We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We rented this beautiful property just to have a cozy and relaxing place to sit and visit with family we hadn’t seen in quite some time. We never left the living room, it was so comfortable and inviting. Our host was exceptional with the details of the property, we absolutely loved it.

I've stayed in a lot of nice places but this one far exceeds expectations. The home is absolutely beautiful and the host, Dusty truly thought of every little detail. The intire space including decor and lighting was warm, inviting and perfectly designed throughout the house. Feels like you are in a tree house like atmosphere that makes it feel special. We were lucky enough to see a whole family of deer come right up to the back of the house and drink out of the flowing creek. The sounds of that creek were so relaxing. It's the kind of place you immediately feel comfortable in and don't want to leave. We had so much fun hiking all the trails in the neighborhood absolutely magical. We would absolutely stay here again.

We absolutely loved our stay at The Shack. The house is beautifully furnished and the layout is great. We especially enjoyed the large fire place with gas starter and lots of firewood provided by the owner. We also liked that there were two dining tables on the main level. We used the large table for meals and the smaller one for puzzles and games. The master suite bathroom is like a spa - love the shower. The game room downstairs was a huge hit. The pool table converts for ping pong which was great. The outdoor sauna was a really nice bonus. We also enjoyed the hiking trail that you can access from the backyard. We've stayed in Big Canoe before at a house up on the ridge and the drive on the windy roads was hard for our elderly parents. The Shack was nice because the drive to the house is more manageable. The owner Dusty was very responsive for any questions that came up. This is a lovely house and I highly recommend it.

Awesome property nestled high in the mountains. We even had a a wood burning fireplace in the living room with ample firewood for our entire stay. Beds were so comfy! Kitchen was well equipped for Thanksgiving meal prep. Two of our family members had some challenges getting from the parking area to the house. While there are five steps into house with a handrail, there were some additional steps on a flagstone walkway that were challenging to navigate. It is a steep driveway, even with pickup trucks. The layout of the house is great and we couldn’t think of anything that we needed that we didn’t have and Dusty was very responsive to our questions.
