Family Cabin Weekend

We stayed at Shangri Lodge for our annual family cabin weekend. We are a large group of 17, including ages 4-65. Overall this property worked for our group. The outdoor space of this property was wonderful. There are two docks that are large and in good shape. There is a swimming area in between if you don’t mind weeds and a bit of muck. The lake is small and very brown. The fishing wasn’t great but we did catch some small sunfish and a couple bass. The yard was perfect for lawn games and the kids loved the ropes course. There were several kayaks and paddle boards available and they got used our whole stay. We also brought our boat, there is a public access but it is tiny and doesn’t have a dock. The cabins are spacious and had enough beds for our whole party. The large cabin only has one bedroom with a door though so it wasn’t the most ideal for the rest of those that stayed in it. There was also only one bathroom in the big cabin. The smaller cabin had plenty of space and each bedroom had a bathroom which was nice for those that stayed in that cabin. The pans, utensils, etc were limited in both cabins. There were some but not many so if you need something particular, I would recommend bringing it. There were several dirty dishes in the cupboard in both cabins, some not clean and some just seemed like it hadn’t been used much so it had dust or bugs on it. We just had to inspect everything before we used it. Other than one dirty dishes, both cabins were clean and tidy.

Perfect lake weekend

This rental was great! We used it for a weekend with friends. We had 12 adults and it’s slept everyone comfortably! I loved the canoes and paddle boards.

There were several issues that i plan on addressing. Small house no heat. 55 degrees! Danielle was notified. I understand from my family that someone did come. Nothing fixed, no communication not even a heater was offered. I was able to borrow a heater for the kids in the unit. Not our responsibility. Large house has a sewer smell. Then when you use the shower the septic backs up into the kitchen sink along with a symphony of noises and waste. The sauna would not work. Peace of mind and family time disrupted. Beautiful place but vrbo was zero help and frustrating to communicate with. Insisted on pictures being sent when i was not connected to the internet and you had to stand in 1 spot to make a phone call. When you spend this kind of money i expect things to be maintained. I owned a 5 star vrbo on Rush lake believe me i never had any issues everything was checked to make sure it was operating prior to guests arriving.
