Owners were very helpful and communicated throughout the entire trip. Home was clean, well stocked & they even provided extra amenities beyond normal expectations. Snacks, k-cup coffee pods, expandable towels for hiking, charcoal & lighter fluid for the grill. We were very pleased with the accommodation and highly recommend this place to stay. Just great people all around.

A comfortable little house with just the space we needed. The couple did so many little extras, popcorn, snacks, bottled water, water filter pitcher, picnic supplies, etc. Communication was excellent. We really enjoyed our stay.

Felt like home

We enjoyed our stay in this cozy home. There was so much attention to detail - seasonal decorations, comfy furniture, and a very well stocked kitchen and bathroom. A fire was set up for us in the backyard, snacks and drinks were left out for us, and the house was very clean and tidy. Our hosts were attentive and made some great hiking suggestions. We recommend staying at the Shawnee Hideaway!
