Internet: Yes. Internet can be very spotty. Not ideal for streaming video or meetings. Everyone by now has likely been enjoying the beauty of wireless technology. But, sometimes getting a break from WiFi can be a blessing too. Between the texts and emails and notifications to your watch, there are moments of rest and opportunities to reset and connect with others in-real-life. We hope you do not get aggravated at the lack of WiFi while staying here, but that you enjoy the WiFiLess and relaxing lifestyle at this lakeside cottage. Watch a breath-taking sunset. Notice that it’s often prettier after the sunset as the sky turns red or orange on the silvery clouds. Maybe capture it with a photo. You might just need to post it after you get home. We have tried every Internet provider available in the area, including Starlink. And as much as we’ve tried, nothing comes close to what renters are generally accustomed to. Just like city water and sewer, wired internet just isn’t available in the area yet.


Linens: Yes, we provide your sheets and linens. Just like a hotel, the beds will be made for you upon arrival. We have just the basic sheets, pillows, pillowcases, and bath towels.

Reviews

Memorial Day Weekend Getaway
We could not have asked for a better place to spend our Memorial Day weekend! We only wished we could have stayed longer. The cabin had an old rustic feel to it with updates amenities. The AC units were brand new and worked extremely well. We also enjoyed the size of the deck and the brand new gas grill. We had our neighbors over for dinner, and all of us fit on the deck with plenty of room to spare. The swimming area was awesome! The kayaks, row boats, and yard games provided free of charge for an extra bonus. Having one available on site for bonfires was so convenient. We will be back the end of August and cannot wait to go check out the small, quaint downtown area. We also plan on renting a boat Harrison Lake. Oh and the fishing off of one of their 4 docks was never ending! Long story short Sunset Shores was above and beyond what we expected!


FVR RESPONSE
Emily, what a fabulous comprehensive review - thanks you!  The fact that the fishing was so good is a bonus.  We love that you are coming back in August.  That's the highest praise a guest can give.  See you then!
