Property itself was very nice. This property is marketed towards a big group. My only complaint is parking. It can be tricky with a shared driveway of the neighbor. Overall perfect place to stay with a big group!

Fantastic getaway! We had 3 families and a grandpa. Ages 7-75. Loads of space to spread out. Beach was great for bucket fishing. We rented pontoon. Took full advantage of kayaks, paddle boat, Lilly pad. Loved the auto inflatable pump that was in the water toy shed. Lake was warm and clear. Did fires nightly and took night dips in the lake. This place was stocked with games, pool table and yard games. They had 2 fridges extra to store beverages and extra groceries. We used the detached bunk house and this was clutch for our group to have enough couples space. 10/10 on communication. So many other wonderfulThings to say. Book this place, you will not be disappointed!

Very easy check-in process. The kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. The pantry had many shelves to store our things as well. The cabin had ample room for all 10 of us. Very comfy beds. Grandkids loved the lake (tubing, kayak and paddle boat) and when not in the water played pool and foosball. We all enjoyed the use of the beautiful pontoon as well.Great place to stay !

We had a fantastic experience at this property. The home was beautiful, clean, and well-maintained, with all the amenities we could have asked for. We took advantage of the pontoon available and had a blast. It was clear that a lot of thought went into making guests feel comfortable. The host was incredibly responsive and welcoming, making the whole process smooth and stress-free. I was very impressed with the welcome book that was put together. Highly recommend this place — we’d definitely stay here again!

Fantastic fall stay! 🍂

Our group (four adults, five kids) had a wonderful stay at this cabin! The kids adored sleeping in the loft, playing plenty of games, and having their own space for movie nights. The grown ups enjoyed it all, but especially catching up while taking in the gorgeous lake views. Thanks to Tracey for being a great host!

Cabin Trip

The host and cabin were amazing! Had a very good time. Neighbors and people at another lake weren’t the nicest and had some racist remarks towards my family but that is completely outside of the cabin. Amazing communication with host and she was so nice with everything. Cabin fit us all and had beautiful views.

Family Gathering

Our family had the best weekend at your beautiful lake home. The views were amazing and we had fun indoors and out - Kayaking, paddle boating, fishing, yard games, and games indoors. The house had plenty of space for all 13 of us to be together or find our own quiet areas. The beds were comfortable, and the kitchen and bathroom had all the essentials and more! We highly recommend this lake home for your next getaway! Thank you, Tracey & Family, for sharing this with others to make beautiful memories at the lake.

Cousins Trip (5 families)

This was our first time booking a cabin together and we loved it. The cabin was perfect for us, even with 11 adults and 14 kids (ranging from 6 months - 7 years old). There ended up being plenty of room for everyone and our larger number was approved by the owners (thank you!). The cabin was clean, very well decorated, functional and just overall, a beautiful place to stay! We would definitely consider staying here again. Thank you for the many memories made!

Cozy Cabin

We had a large group of friends stay at the cabin. We were all impressed with how nice it was. The main level layout is fantastic, lots of room to spread out, yet still be together. The beds were comfortable! The kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms were well stocked. Tracey was great to work with, quick to respond, flexible and helpful. I would highly recommend staying at this adorable cabin in the woods.

Beautiful!

Such a beautiful spot! House fit all of us comfortably. Yard was a little bit hard for the little guys (4 under 4 years of age) to run but they did!! Mornings spent out on the sun deck was so peaceful. And time on the lake was priceless. We would definitely recommend staying here! Thank you for sharing it with us!

Great Place to Stay

Had everything we needed. Kitchen well stocked. Outdoor area was nice. The house was very nice. Bunk house was fun for one of our family members. Plenty of games available. Lake was awesome. The ladder off the side of the dock was so nice for the younger kids to be able to get in and out of the lake on their own. Owners were very responsive and easy to work with.Lake Area Adventures was one of the pontoon rental recommendations and they were very accommodating, super responsive, and a pleasure to work with.

Overall, our family had a wonderful time at this property. A small glitch in check-in resulted in immediate communication and resolution. We have only used Vrbo a couple of times, so are not well-versed in the process etc. The hosts are well prepared for your stay, accommodating to your needs, and responsive to any questions. The loft was a favorite for the kids as was the water "toys" down at the dock and lake. From am to pm, they enjoyed pontoon rides, fishing and swimming. The kitchen & living area layout worked well for our large group and having lots of fridge space was MUCH appreciated. We also enjoyed the pontoon rental - top notch. We would love to make a return visit next summer! It did not disappoint.

Family vacation

Every year we take our kids and their families, along with my wife’s parents on a summer vacation. This is our 5th year doing so and it was hands down our favorite spot. The home is beautifully decorated and the space is very user friendly and feels like home. We enjoyed all the fun amenities that were provided for us, including the use of a new pontoon boat located right at our dock. Plenty of yard games, as well as inside games were generously provided for our use. The owners were extremely accommodating and willing to communicate with us. We will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us.

Family Getaway

Beautiful cabin! Our stay included my siblings and parents with our spouses and young adults kids. The sleeping options were ideal for our crew, all 13 of us. The cabin was just as described and well appointed with everything you would need. My one suggestion to future renters, you may want to bring slippers. The tile and wood floors got chilly with the floor and baseboard vents. We definitely would come back to this cabin! Tracey was great to work with and a proactive hostess. Thank you, Tracey and family for sharing your cabin with our family. Many new memories were made while we reminisced and shared our family history of Lake Shamineau with the next generation.

50th Wedding Anniversary Family Time

We found the ideal property to celebrate my parent's 50th wedding anniversary. The log home was the perfect size to accommodate the adult children and grandchildren. The kids loved the big loft space and the adults enjoyed the various hang out spaces. The kitchen had everything we needed to make family meals. The property was impeccable and the grounds were as well. Tracey communicated well and provided a helpful booklet at check-in. Lake Shamineau was lovely and pretty quiet! We rented a pontoon boat and enjoyed cruising around the lake with family. We took several trips to what we called "turtle cove" on the kayaks. Most importantly, the property served as the perfect backdrop for the family to celebrate mom & dad's 50th wedding anniversary and create new, fond memories.
