Charming little lake house with a direct view and access of the lake via a private dock. There are also 2 restaurants within walking distance from the property, that we're both delicious with a fun atmosphere.

Great stay at Shriner Lake!

This is the perfect location for all the 4th of July action at Shriner Lake and all the other nearby lake activities. The house is small and a little dated but it had everything we needed, the beds were super comfy, and the house was very clean. The owners were very helpful and responsive. The view of the lake out of the front living room window is stunning and we had the best seats in the house for the fireworks!
