Highly recommend! The property is beautiful, larger than the pictures show. Quite private, we didn't see the neighbors. Everything was in working order, and communicating with Steven was great - he kept everything simple and easy. The kitchen was stocked with some basic staples. Despite some of the cons I've listed, I would absolutely go back! Go check out Shady Pines!!Pros:-Very cozy living room and master bedroom-Heated bathrooms-Hot Tub!-VERY comfortable king bed that adjusts upright with a controller-Leaf blower to clear the deck of pine needles-Dog friendly!-Completely fenced in yard and driveway, so our pup could run around freely.-Garage with space for 1 car.Cons:-The light switches are weird. There were still some lights I couldn't figure out.-The split units in the family room and bedroom take a while to heat the spacious and vaulted ceilinged rooms, but they're still effective-My girlfriend is sensitive and got some "weird vibes" from some areas of the house, but we just shut those doors and moved on. Might seem silly to mention that, but could impact some guests.-While the windows in the living room and master are gorgeous, they face the neighbor's yard, which is not well maintained..

Loved our stay at Shady Pines! Even lost power on Christmas Day due to storms and the kids thought it was “so cool”. The wood burning fireplace was exceptional and brought the warmth needed. Thank you to our lovely hosts for providing a real Christmas tree with lights! We brought some decorations and even left them in a box in the garage for them to keep for future guests. Zero issues, other than we couldn’t find a flashlight- but we found plenty of light needed surrounding the fireplace and got to spend time as a family playing games with zero electronics. :) Can’t wait to come back.

A lovely place to stay!

This is a beautiful home. The builders put more window than wall wherever possible and there are lovely views in all directions. Looking through the trees at the valley below from the deck was especially nice. Lot's of privacy and space with a tall fence with only visible neighbor. House was well stocked- did all our meals there and found everything we needed. Seems like they've added things to the kitchen since earlier reviews. Spotlessly clean. Host replied quickly when I had trouble following the clear instructions. Only quirk was that the lighting in the two smaller bedrooms was extremely dim. I was tempted to go buy some modern LED bulbs. We were at a very hot time and the downstairs bedroom was a bit warm, but not bad. AC was definitely able to get the rest of the house colder than you'd want it to be. Lot's of beautiful sitting areas outside and carefully tended yard, hot tub and above ground pool. The decorations were lovely inside and out. We did end up adding toilet paper. Not sure if they were just trying to stock a starter amount, if we just didn't find the spare, or we just had a different idea of toilet paper for five adults. But it wasn't a big deal to pick up at the store. All and all, a beautiful place to visit and a destination in and of itself.

This was perfect for our needs, a secluded cabin large enough for the extended family to come together. The kitchen could have been better supplied for cooking and the hot tub was not clean enough to use, but we otherwise found it a great stay.
