We were pleasantly surprised to find such a nice place to stay while visiting family at Shafer Lake. We have been coming to this area for the past 10+ years for a family reunion and struggle to find a good place to stay. The home was clean and had every amenity you could want during a stay. The Host was extremely friendly and accommodating. We will definitely be staying here for future visits.

My husband & I loved our cozy cottage! It was our first visit to Lake Shafer, and we cant wait to go back. We loved everything! The sunsets are amazing & the grounds are beautiful too. The owners Bob & Jayne are really nice people.

We absolutely loved the cottage! It was clean, well stocked with dishes, appliances, blankets, towels, etc. We loved sitting on the back porch and drinking our morning coffee. The deck was nice too! Definitely would stay here again!

This cottage is updated and nicely decorated. We spent a lot of time reading, playing games, and relaxing on the screened in porch. The beds were all very comfortable, and we had plenty of extra blankets. Cupboards were very well stocked with dishes and cookware, and the air conditioning worked great in spite of some very hot days. Most of all, this place is CLEAN! Not a speck of dust or cobweb to be found. The kitchen & appliances were immaculate, as was the entire bathroom. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time here!
