The Retreat at Shiloh, Private Lakefront Property

The property was very secluded and quite which was nice however the pictures are apparently old because the property was so over grown there was only a couple spot you could see the lake, the zipline was so over grown the kids couldn’t even get to it they tired and woke up the next morning covered in bites and poison ivy. No hammock.no curtains or window coverings except in bedrooms. Wasn’t comfortable using the bathroom at night without the window being covered.The bunk beds were covered in spiders so the kids ( 4 boys) were afraid to sleep on them they slept on the couch for 4 nights.The grass was mowed right in front of the cabin. No mention that there’s a 60-80ft( or more it’s hard to tell when you’re standing on top of it) drop off the cliff right in front of the cabin so we were afraid for the kids to play anywhere in that area! So we had to find other things for the kids to do and spend more money when we had planned on just being at the cabin! We rented a boat at Cape Fair Marina and they were awesome if you are in the area check them out! We all was ate up by something it wasn’t mosquitos Myself I never went out in the grass only to the car and cabin and was still eaten up. Not a pleasant trip we camp a lot and never had this much problem with bites. We looked for bed bugs no signs. We own a Pest Control Company! The pictures show it being opened up where you could see the water and made it look like there was a beach not a cliff! Very disappointed!!

Tommy Oliver's Vacation The property was great. The home was just the right size with an amazing view out into miles of Cape Fair's water. If you like hiking and fishing, this is a good area. The only downside would be the unpaved road to the house. We came home and discovered that we had a flat. Other than that, our family enjoyed the scenic environment and everything it had to offer.

Nice, but not what i expected. Bugs were a big issue for us. Spiders, flys, rolly pollys and even a roach found inside the house. There was bug spray available that i decided to use around the base boards. A couple of wasp nest found on the porches as well. The place was nice and comfy aside from that. Like everyone else it would have been nice to have easier access to the water without having to make a small hike. Water was high while we stayed so the cove that is shown was not available to us to experiance. It is very quiet and peaceful which that is what we wanted. Drew had told me the place had just gone thru a renovation but my daughter was a little wierded out that none of the windows in the house had any blinds or curtains that could be closed. Will say becareful with any small kids at the edge of property as the property is on a hill leading down to a cliff edge. Overall stay was fair and Drew offered many amenities for use. For the right people it would be a great stay.
