Labor Day Weekend at the Lake

Ellen and Pat’s place is VERY well stocked! They’ve thought of everything! The location is a quiet dirt road. Loved the front porch! Wish it was facing the lake, but still very relaxing. It was a busy weekend at the lake. Pat and Ellen’s family were at the beach, so we found other ways to entertain ourselves. We found an awesome pontoon and jet skis rental available that brought the boat right across the lake (near the brewery). D&N Good Time Rentals LLC. Pat and Ellen offered a boat ride as well. There are 3 sleeping areas. One is a half wall - something to be aware of depending who is going on the trip with you. There are some quirks to the house. Lots of dogs around the property, so would only advice bringing yours if they are good with others. Overall, it was a quick getaway, close to home, on a very cute lake and did the trick for our family.

Lake Views

The house was well stocked and location was great. The only thing I wished I had known ahead of time is that one of the bedrooms was a loft and not an actulal room.

Beautiful week on the lake

We had a wonderful stay at the Paddy Shack. The house was clean and spacious with everything we needed. The shared beach and swimming area were a ton of fun for us, our dog, and our friends. We had the chance to meet Pat and Ellen and they were fantastic hosts. We hope to return next summer!

The Best Time

Pat and Ellen, Paddy Shack is beautiful it had everything and more than we needed. The boat ride around the lake with you both was amazing. The Lake water is so clean and clear we had such a good time playing in the sand and floating on the raft you provided. Great family memories were made and we cant wait to come back next year.

Beautiful and well appointed property!

Ellen and Pat have a little slice of Heaven and were gracious hosts. The home had everything you could possibly want or neeed for a relaxing stay. The little extras like the dog toys, bed and bowls as well as all of the water sports equipment for our use was appreciated. Pat even took our girls tubing and gave all the adults a relaxing ride on his brand new pontoon boat with a tour of the lake! They are a couple who we would call friends as they are both so pleasant.
