Our host was great and communicated with us prior to our stay and during. The cabin was clean and fully stocked. We opted to cook while we were there and found everything we needed to make the meals we had planned. The neighborhood was quiet and we had plenty of time to relax and feel no stress. We will definitely be back in the future!

Cabin as great until check out and accused of damaging property. They even provided pictures to substantiate a false claim that I damaged property: I would never rent from this particular owner again.

Cabin was clean and appealing. The cabin looked nice in the pictures when we booked but was even better in person. The host was responsive to any inquiries and responded quickly to any questions we had. We’ll definitely book here again.

Me and my two kids loved our stay at Shady Shack. We felt very safe and comfortable. We loved how it felt secluded, but yet it was near all of the Hochatown attractions. My kids loved the hot tub and outdoor TV area. We also loved being able to build an outdoor fire. My kids are already asking to come back every year. Thank you, Chris!

25th Anniversary

We really enjoyed The Shady Shack. Chris communicated with us and check in was easy. We enjoyed some much needed R&R. I lived in the hot tub and on the game playing Pac Man and Galaga. My husband did not want to leave the back deck and TV. Enjoyed the fireworks at Chocatow Landing and food at Hochatown Saloon!! Can't wait to stay here again!! Cabin was absolutely perfect!!

Mother’s Day weekend getaway

Wife’s birthday fell on mother’s day this year so I surprised her with a weekend get away! This cabin was perfect for me, my wife, and our 10 year old daughter. Property manager was attentive and helpful. Cabin amenities are perfect, and the neighborhood is awesome! Can’t recommend enough, only complaint is we didn’t stay longer!
