Herrick Vacation Rentals

"Great for the money. Nothing fancy. But perfectly fine for a night of sleep i needed while traveling. Room was fine and clean. "

"Clean, quiet and convenient. "

"Although upon arrival, we were quite put off by the exterior condition and appearance of this old Quality Inn, once in our room, most everything seemed updated and clean. The beds and bedding were comfortable. There was plenty of hot water and the shower worked well. The heater was suitably quiet too. The TV was like any other motel TV's. Like the "by Wyndham" franchises, in this case..a "Choice Hotels" franchise buys up old hotel chains and specializes in giving renovation advantages to franchisees who pass on lower pricing to customers. Of course they are not gleaming new hotels. I would say on average the "free" breakfast was just as good as that at any other full priced hotel with eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy and all the rest. One glaring unrenovated issue in our room was a delaminating hollow core door between the sink vanity and the shower/toilet room and a rusting steel door frame at floor level...undoubtedly caused by years of mopping the floor. "

"The major issue we had was that the internet was not working the entire time of our stay. We had a short stay (one day two nights) and I contacted the host as soon as we arrived for wifi info. He gave it to us, and our devices said connected, but no internet available. We spent a couple of hours trying different things with no luck while communicating with the host. We finally ended up using our phones as hotspots for that evening. The next day I contacted them again, and got no response until I sent a message asking for the internet issue to be addressed immediately. They brought a hotspot within an hour that worked for another few hours, then that quit as well. At that point we gave up. We spent at least a 3-4 hours of our "relaxing" 42 hour getaway trying to troubleshoot on our own and communicating with the host/waiting for responses. This was supposed to be a relaxing weekend where my husband and I could just hang out, play online and watch movies. We were really disappointed that wasn't a possibility. Secondly, there was an issue in the apartment of a paint or lacquer smell that was headache inducing when the door to the gold room wasn't closed. There were some other minor issues (tiny shower, having to move lamps around to get ideal lighting, had to get towels out of the dryer before showering, no check-in/out guide) that would have totally been overlooked if not for the internet and smell problems, but combined, it made for a really disappointing stay."

"We stayed at the Shelby Inn overnight Easter Sunday night, after a day of fishing at the lake spillway. The Inn looks to be a mansion in pictures, but it is also what might have been an upgraded 1950s single floor motor lodge, as well as a two story lodging building next door. Our king room was in the 2 story building, on the top floor. On the day of our arrival, we got the assigned room number and an access code for the door. The room was well appointed, spacious with a two-seater table and chairs, dish TV,, the shower had a rainfall shower head, and dispensers for private brand shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. Everything was very clean and welcoming. Parking was off street, open parking lot betwren the buildings. It was 40° and 30 mph winds, so we didn't have any concern about air conditioning, but the heat was very effective and warmed us right up. When we come back to Shelbyville, we will definitely be staying here. (Since we were in town on Easter Sunday and didn't get back to town from the spillway until after 8:00, there wasn't much beyond fast food that was still open. I can definitely recommend Oliver Coffee, a neat little drive-thru-only coffee shop that we visited Monday am,, and heard great things from others about the Lakeview Family Restaurant.)"

"Clean, comfortable, spacious rooms. Everything that was needed. Tasty breakfast. Would gladly stay here again."

"The lake house is beautifully situated in a peaceful and serene area. It is modern and cozy with nice rustic features. A well layout place that felt larger inside with it's grand fireplace and cathedral ceilings. It also has an attached garage for your convenience. There were plenty of amenities that will provide hours of entertainment both inside and outside. Supply depots and restaurants are just 15 minutes out. The owners were very informative and responded to questions promptly. You couldn't ask for more a pleasant and accommodating host. We look forward to staying here again. "

"Everything was close by and far away enough to be perfectly placed, clean and very spacious. Pond and chill spot have the best of views."

"This place was amazing! It was clean and comfortable! We used the deck a lot and the fire pit one evening! We sat in the evening and listened to the owls hoot back and forth and then got to see one fly across the water in the morning! It’s an easy trip to town! We totally would rent this again! "
