Extended family gathering

Shade Mountain Retreat is a delightful place for an extended family gathering such as ours. The property is beautifully furnished ans maintained, with a roomy kitchen, lots of pots and pans, and abundant dishes and silverware. The wide-open central space and looong dining room table were ideal for our group encompassing 3 generations. We particularly liked all the wood paneling. There were lots of fun things to do, from indoor and outdoor games to hiking in the woods. All in all, a very enjoyable week for the entire family.

Wonderful Getaway

House was the perfect location for our multi-family holiday Celebration. The hot tub, ping pong table etc was enjoyed by all ages. Plenty of space to have alone time and come together for meals and games. Most well stocked house we’ve ever rented (kitchen items, bathrooms items, towels, trash bags, etc). Jake was a wonderful host and was very responsive.

Ideal property for family vacation

- Jake is prompt, flexible, proactive, awesome! - Best for families wanting to spend time in one location - Ample rooms, beds, towels, amenities, hot tub, ping pong etc. - Unlike other properties this one has many bed rooms as well as multiple bathrooms - Not many places to visit close to the location i.e. remain in the property and have quality family time... thanks

A beautiful labor weekend with church family!!!!

We had such of beautiful time in the middle of the nature, the air, the surrounding area with just us and God’s creations!!!! If you are looking for a quite place to be outside of your house and enjoy nature this is a great option!!!! Jake is awesome as an owner, very communicative. We had no problems staying here. Minus details that were very well addressed. If we will need Jakes place again. We will be very happy to stay here!!!

Perfect spot

We recently spent a week at Shade Mountain Retreat with our family of 16. It's a wonderful property for a multi-generational vacation. Hiking trails and a firepit were available for our active members. A pool table was well used by all 3 generations present. The large property gave us space for many activities. There are extra activities available in the area. Our only concern was a lack of cell phone coverage (not Jake's fault)
