Family vacation

I was blown away by how awesome it was. From the beautiful area to the fan favorite pingpong table we had a blast!! We would 100 percent stay at The Shire again! The hosts are amazing people and very friendly!! Everything was in driving distance which was great. My family had a blast feeding the fish and making s'mores by the campfire.

Cozy quick vacation

Came for a 2 night stay with my wife and 2 toddlers. I like how secluded it was. Very clean and a lot of amenities that were useful to parents. Only down side was the tub drain didn’t stay down so we couldn’t give kids a bath so we settled for very quick screaming showers, but that’s no big deal. I would recommend a kid friendly toilet seat for the future!
