Shady Pines was so lovely, we booked another trip after we'd been there only a day into our 4-night stay!
The house is super cute (just as pictured), with a really well-stocked kitchen, a spectacular view, and a truly relaxing atmosphere. It's easy to travel to--our group came from Ohio, Virginia, and Arkansas. And it's not as far "out of town" as it might look on a map, so there's plenty of stores and restaurants nearby if desired. We mostly preferred to stay in, as this was a writing getaway for us, but a member of our group did explore the area and hit up a few historical highlights during our stay.
The owner was responsive and very friendly, the house was clean, and I mentioned the view, right? Overall, it was the perfect retreat, and we look forward to returning!
