Brickway Retreat

MerleenRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We booked this place because it was just a few dollars more than hotels in tue area. What a great call because we had an entire house. This place was perfect for us to come relax with our college son and make him a nice dinner! The house far exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect! We loved the old feel, with updated touches. Cooked on the grill outside and even had a small fire in the fire pit. Such a peaceful stay! Thank you Jill! You were so quick to respond to any of our messages! We will definitely search for this place in the future!

Centrally located, Peaceful Cabin by the Beach

KoreyRating, 5 stars1 week ago

We really enjoyed our stay here- it was clean, cozy, and surprisingly quiet. The beds were very comfortable as well. It’s right on the water- the surroundings are just beautiful. My only complaint is that we didn’t get to stay for longer than one night, as we were only passing through. I’d definitely go back for a longer visit!

Lovely house on the lake. The house is on three levels, so lots of space to spread out. The host was very communicative, supplied us with lots of recommendations, and was responsive. Overall a 5-star experience. Loved the deck to hang out on.

Lakewood Cottage #1 @ Lake Shelbyville

RachelRating, 5 stars2 weeks ago

Loved our stay! We’ve stayed at lots of AirBnBs and this was hands-down the cleanest. The large yard was great for my boys. The amenities- from towels to bedding to games - were all clean and well-thought-out. This is a cozy little space for some time to get away. Convenient location for reaching Aikman Wildlife Adventure and Yoder’s restaurant.

An amazing retreat. The lake was so peaceful and beautiful. The home was extremely well stocked and very well cared for/clean. The hosted provided great pre-check in instructions and check out was a breeze. The location was secluded but less than a 30 minute drive from wineries and restaurants. Would absolutely stay again!!

Cherry Blossom Cottage

4.94 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviews1 month ago

This place was absolutely perfect! We were traveling south and wanted to stay somewhere that would allow us to relax in a living room while watching TV. It was also nice to have a separate bedroom for the kids and a kitchen to make our own food and drinks. It’s a super cute place and way better than a hotel. Highly recommend!

Lake Shelbyville Home with a View

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 49 reviews8 months ago

This is our second time staying here as a family. There are several reasons we came back: check in and out is very easy; the space accommodates our extended family very well; there is direct lake access though you have to be aware the path is “natural“ and as Doug has said in other reviews, they do not have control over improving the path; the space was very clean and all the essentials are provided; Doug is very responsive and got back to us very quickly when we had minor questions! We would highly recommend staying here, as long as it doesn’t interfere with the time we want to come back😁

Family Home w/ Deck on Lake Sara: Pets are Welcome

Kriste LynnRating, 5 stars1 month ago

The house was very comfortable and homey. The lake was very nice. We were there while it was still cold, so we did not get to take advantage of the pool and hope to go back during a warmer part of the year. We highly recommend this house!

A spacious wooden deck provides unobstructed views of the lake. The water reflects the sky's blue hues, while trees line the shore, adding to the serene waterfront setting. Nearby, seating areas can be seen along the shore, enhancing the tranquil outdoor space.
