Quiet secluded getaway

Beautiful and well stocked. Great place to rest and unwind. Easy communication with host who was very flexible. Lock to door leading outside was an issue but should b an easy fix

Well-appointed and Cozy

Cozy, nicely decorated, has everything you would need! We had a very comfortable stay. The cottage has the feel of a vacation home that is well-cared-for and probably enjoyed by the owner themselves, which makes the best VRBO, in my opinion.

The cabin was very clean and cozy. We loved the game tables and area for our elementary/middle school aged kids. There were lots of fuzzy blankets throughout the house and the hot tub was amazing and well maintained. We were in the area for a family wedding and this cabin was perfect for us and close to the venue. We even played a round or two of disk golf in our free time. I give this place a 5 star rating.

Sister weekend getaway

My susters and I live quite a dustance apart, and can rarely gather. Shady Pine Cottage is centrally located and gave us the perfect spot to meet and spend quality time together. The cabin was perfect!

Cozy cabin in the woods

This property was so much better than the pictures show. It is a super cute house on a beautiful property. The beds were very comfortable as well as the bedding. There was a lot of thought put into decorating this property. We enjoyed our mornings drinking coffee on the deck. Most of our days were spent on Raystown Lake. It was a 30 minute drive for us to where our boat was. We enjoyed coming home and unwinding around the fire pit. There is a spiral staircase to get upstairs (which was not mentioned on the listing). This worked out fine for us but we did travel with my in laws who are in their 70's and they were not able to use the staircase. The dryer broke while we were there and unfortunately was not fixed during our stay. Would have been nice to have this because we spent our days on the lake and there was nowhere to hang our towels to dry for the next day. Owner was very prompt with answering any messages we had. He was very friendly and easy to work with. One other issue we had was the front deck railing has a very large gap between the top and bottom railing in which our 1.5year old almost fell through multiple times. Again, not an issue if you are not traveling with little ones. Would definitely recommend this place and would stay here again. Thank you for sharing your home with us.

Very Nice Property. The pictures online do not do this place justice. Much nicer in person. Better than we expected.
