Great for families with small children

Our group, which included four small children, had a wonderful time. The location was perfect, and we enjoyed playing with water toys and kayaks outside and games and toys inside. The cottage definitely exceeded our expectations. We would certainly love to stay here again!

This was our second stay at the Sunset Escape. It is so peaceful and relaxing with a great sunset view. We love that we can rent a boat and tie it up on the dock. It has everything you need and is close to all Shawano has to offer. Communication with Kyle and Jenny is clear and fast.

Absolute great long weekend!

Everything about this VRBO is fantastic. We all slept well, beautiful sunsets, updated property. The dock area and slide is nice and weed free. The Lily pad/magic carpet was a hit with the kiddos. We enjoyed our time here and would stay here again without hesitation. Thank you for opening your home to us!

A fun and relaxing week

This is older but very nicely updated cottage. The water toys that are provided were a big hit with the kids and the dock was plenty long enough to secure both our pontoon and fishing boat. The neighbors were awesome to chat with and there are lots of things to do both on the water and at businesses in the area. Thanks Kyle and Jenny!!

Perfect Lakeside Getaway

We recently stayed at this cabin on Shawano Lake and had an amazing time!The location couldn’t be better — the cabin sits just steps from the water with a private dock that's perfect for fishing, swimming, or just relaxing with a cup of coffee in the morning. Being right on the lake made it so easy to enjoy water activities without ever needing to pack up and leave the property.The accommodations were excellent — the cabin was clean, cozy, and well-stocked with everything we needed. There was plenty of room for our group of six adults, with comfortable beds, a spacious living area, and a great kitchen for cooking meals together. It really felt like a home away from home.This is the ideal spot whether you're looking to unwind or explore the area. We’re already talking about coming back next summer. Highly recommend!
