Great eclipse location

We did enjoy the stay immensely. It was perfect location for the eclipse and proximity to the water. The washer and drier were great and the BBQ (although we did not use it). A few suggested improvements: I do think that the statement "fully stocked" kitchen was a bit overstated. I would add to the supplies--a colander to drain pasta,, salad tongs, wine glasses and maybe more than 1 small glass. I would also clearly state: Bring your own hair drier. Plus: Note: bathroom is on a separate level from the bed. Also, I would suggest you remount the paper towel holder. Having screws protruding thru the shelf not only limited the storage but, was an accident waiting to happen with someone cutting their hands. And finally, for a $400/nite rental, I would expect a more comfortable bed and not covered with a plastic cover (this was very hot). I would highly recommend your rental to others once the improvements were made. Thanks again for your prompt response to a pot with a lid

Spring Weekend in Shawnee

Took a long weekend stay here to do some hiking at various places in the Shawnee forest. The place itself was perfect for my needs - clean, good internet, and had all the items I needed. It was nice waking up to the morning view of the lake. Would stay again if I wanted to visit the western part of the forest.
