The kitchen had plates, cups, silverware, a microwave, fridge, and stove. There was one shower. The other (master) bedroom had a jetted tub. The toilets are elongated, which is a personal preference. The one was older, do I had to wiggle the handle to make sure it didn't stick running. The staff was very friendly.

Cozy on the lake

The location worked well for us as to the nature of our visit. 2 bedrooms / 2 bathrooms was a great set up. Overall comfortable, enjoyed the wildlife, felt safe, staff was friendly, just lacked in some details. The light in the bedroom was out, found a roach in the bathroom, dishes were all dirty.

Nice apartment

Very nice inside. Our only complaint would be that someone should possibly blowoff the front entryways from the tree debris…it gets tracked into the apartment every time you go in.

Ferrah and the rest of the staff made sure we felt right at home and accomodated all our needs and Ferrah checked on us personally via phone after her day off to make sure all our needs were continuing to be met. The Shores needs to give that woman a raise and an extra paid vacation. I will stay again but only if Ferrah is there because she made the whole experience without her idk what our stay would have been like. Thank you Ferrah look forward to seeing you on our next stay. God bless

We really enjoyed how peaceful it was. It was perfect for us. A little dated on the exterior but the interior was clean and had plenty of room for the 3 of us. Kitchen is fully equipped with plenty of utensils, pots, pans, glassware, plates, full block of knives and even a wine opener and pizza wheel. Grocery stores are a short drive if you want to stay in and make your own meals. Small grills outside also. The white tail deer are amazing, and we saw plenty of them. Fawns, does and bucks. Some bucks still in velvet during our visit. Fredericksburg is a 2-hour drive for the wine enthusiasts. Lockhart is 1 hr. 15-minute drive for the BBQ enthusiasts.

Carpet was hideous. Coffee pot had old coffee grounds with an inch of mold growing. Two baths but main bath only had a nasty jacuzzi tub and no shower. Pots & pans were limited and terrible. Windows had not been cleaned in 40 years. Unit had bugs, including scorpions. Office brought us a larger pan that had lost most of it’s non-stick coating. Unit has never been updated since it was built in the 60’s.

Poor maintenance

The property was clean and the deer are fun to watch. However, the decor is outdated with mirrors everywhere inside. The carpets are stained and need replaced. The worst part was the jacuzzi tub leaked in the plumbing under the tub. I reported it and maintenance didn’t fix it, just closed the access door. So didn’t use the tub because I didn’t want to cause more damage. When I reported the lack of proper maintenance to the front desk all they ask is if I wanted to fill out a card.
