Extended family gathering
Shade Mountain Retreat is a delightful place for an extended family gathering such as ours. The property is beautifully furnished ans maintained, with a roomy kitchen, lots of pots and pans, and abundant dishes and silverware. The wide-open central space and looong dining room table were ideal for our group encompassing 3 generations. We particularly liked all the wood paneling. There were lots of fun things to do, from indoor and outdoor games to hiking in the woods. All in all, a very enjoyable week for the entire family.

Wonderful Getaway
House was the perfect location for our multi-family holiday Celebration. The hot tub, ping pong table etc was enjoyed by all ages. Plenty of space to have alone time and come together for meals and games. Most well stocked house we’ve ever rented (kitchen items, bathrooms items, towels, trash bags, etc). Jake was a wonderful host and was very responsive.

Ideal property for family vacation
- Jake is prompt, flexible, proactive, awesome! - Best for families wanting to spend time in one location - Ample rooms, beds, towels, amenities, hot tub, ping pong etc. - Unlike other properties this one has many bed rooms as well as multiple bathrooms - Not many places to visit close to the location i.e. remain in the property and have quality family time... thanks

We had such of beautiful time in the middle of the nature, the air, the surrounding area with just us and God’s creations!!!! If you are looking for a quite place to be outside of your house and enjoy nature this is a great option!!!! Jake is awesome as an owner, very communicative. We had no problems staying here. Minus details that were very well addressed. If we will need Jakes place again. We will be very happy to stay here!!!

Perfect spot
We recently spent a week at Shade Mountain Retreat with our family of 16. It's a wonderful property for a multi-generational vacation. Hiking trails and a firepit were available for our active members. A pool table was well used by all 3 generations present. The large property gave us space for many activities. There are extra activities available in the area. Our only concern was a lack of cell phone coverage (not Jake's fault)

Extended Family Gathering
This beautiful, clean property, situated in a lush green forest, was the perfect choice for our large extended family gathering in May. We were 14 guests of many ages, but there was always a possibility we might have had more, and it was nice to know we had room to sleep 20 just in case. Our elderly folks were quite comfortable among the 4 queen bedrooms on the main floor, without ever using stairs, to their delight. The kids were quite happy to be together in bedrooms on the lower floor, near the pool table (The site of a secret midnight pool tournament... rumor has it.) There are many different family rooms sprinkled around the 2 buildings, providing the various age groups to gather independently. Other indoor activities are available, and the very large ping pong game room above the garage was perfect for our rainy day. A VERY long dining table was key for seating 12 of us with even a few more at the counter, and the two extra refrigerators in the garage meant that our many meals over 5 days were possible without any food runs. Relatives all got a chance to reconnect while seated together. The large BBQ got used every night, and can officially fit 16 large steaks. Hiking trails (hilly) provided a bit of exercise and bird-spotting, while the fire pit was a big hit in the chilly evening. (Thanks to our awesome host for providing firewood!) Our host, Jake, was very responsive, before and throughout the rental process. We could not have asked for a better experience.

Escape from the hustle & bustle of city life
Wow is the first word that came out of everybody’s mouth. This place accommodated 20+ of our extended family to celebrate my mother in law’s 70th Birthday. The property is immaculate, very private, full stocked and well maintained. Hot tub, pool table, ping pong table and the Basketball hoop were a big hit. The hiking trail is definitely a must. Jake the host was awesome with communication and even had a welcome basket full of goodies. We had a Wonderful time with this property. Will definitely come back or will try Jake’s other property.
