Play in the yard all day, or jump off the private dock and swim in the refreshing, deep blue-green waters! Pet fee is per dog per stay. No more than 2 dogs allowed, no puppies

Play by day and relax at night by the fireplace. Enjoy a pool table, dart board, and board games here in your home away from home. The dock has a built-in complete with bar stools, bluetooth speakers and a full-size fridge - perfect for relaxing on the lake.

The beautiful Great Room includes wood floors, a propane fireplace, and cathedral ceilings - a great gathering space for your entire family. The second kitchen downstairs is good for those who need some extra room or for cooking on different schedules.
Maximum occupancy 10 --4 bedrooms, 1 extra room with a bed and 3 baths. All bedrooms come with a TV with fire sticks for streaming videos.

We enjoyed our stay at this home as we were in the area for our son’s graduation from Liberty! The size of the home fit our family perfectly and the layout was just great! We were so busy with graduation activities that we weren’t able to enjoy the lake much, but we know it would be the perfect spot for an SML family vacation! Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Relaxing lake stay

We enjoyed our stay at Shangri-La. We had extended family with us for a graduation and the house was exactly what we needed. The two bedrooms and full bath on the main level was perfect for the grandparents. The location was so peaceful. The house had everything we needed to cook for the entire family.

Very clean place for a house that allows dogs. I will say that if u have much age on u, it is a steep walk up the hill from the dock. It has a well stocked kitchen and very well maintained yard. I highly recommend this place.

Stay at Shangri-La

The home is wonderful and is stocked well. The dock and boathouse was awesome! It is a steep walk but well worth it! We did bring extra paper towels, trash bags, toilet paper, etc. that we did need to use. We also brought our own beach towels which we needed as there were none there. We enjoyed our stay and would do it again!

June Family Vacation at Shangrila

We had a great time at the Shangrila! Our first family vacation with the grandkids. They had a blast on the dock fishing for sunfish and relaxing by the water. We fished for striper 4 days and had success everyday and caught some nice smallmouth and largemouth bass as well. We would definitely recommend this rental for a family; very spacious, clean, and in a quiet cul de sac on the water. We will be back next year.

Great family house

We stayed her for a week in mid July. It was me my husband, his parents, three teenage siblings, and a family friend couple. Even though there were many people in the house we never felt like we're were right on Top of each other. Lots of bedrooms and bathrooms. Amazing spot on the lake for boating and Watersports!
