Our waterfront retreat with kayak, firepit,and grill was amazingly RELAXING! It was exactly what we needed for a nice slow down and disconnect. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. Beds were very comfortable and the showers were excellent! Kitchen was fully stocked. No washer/dryer or AC downstairs but we did fine without it and it was mid July. No TV downstairs but was SO HAPPY to NOT have TV and spend time talking. Floated everyday on the water. Our hosts Joe and Karen were the best !!!! Super nice and live next door but don't let that intimidate you they are wonderful good people. Steps down to the water are steep so be careful. LOVE this little Oasis. Very rejuvating and refreshing

Very clean and lovely patio, plenty of room for 6. No soap in the shower/bathroom and one towel per person knocked them down a star for me. Also be alert - I didn’t notice there was no washer and dryer in the listing.

We enjoyed our stay at Shaw’s Pond Retreat. There was plenty of space in the house and the access to the water was beautiful. Owners were very nice and responsive to any questions I had before and during the stay. Would highly recommend this for anyone that wants to have a fun, relaxing vacation, on a peaceful pond. Thank you so much to the owners. I wish the weather would have cooperated better abut that's the only thing I had to complain about during our visit.
