Our trip started off with excellent pro-active communication from the host confirming our stay details, explaining the check-in process and providing suggestions of places to go and things to do while we were there. The home was exactly as advertised, and was in an ideal location (a couple miles from the marina and a few minutes from restaurants and groceries). The host, Suzanne, was extremely communicative throughout our stay and responded immediately to any inquiries that I sent her. Every conceivable detail was thought of to make our stay comfortable and entertaining. We really didn't need to bring anything but ourselves, our clothes and some food. Any other conveniences from home were already there. The beds and linens were very comfortable, and the home was immaculate. The provided fire wood for the fire pit, the family board games, the corn toss and the billiard and foosball tables provided for some high quality family time. Boating on the lake, a burger and shake from Snap's Soda Shop, and a stop at the Rex Family Restaurant in Nancy are must do's. Suzanne was absolutely the best host and provided a perfect family vacation experience on the lake. Trust me, do yourself and your family a favor by booking your next Lake Cumberland stay at the Shady Lake Hideaway house.
