We have a blended family with a few kids, and this space was so perfect. So easy to spread out or be together. The location couldn't be better!!
The house is well stocked, and great for kids with booster seats and some beach toys, etc.
We can't wait to stay again!

House was large enough for my family and my brother’s family to gather together but have separate areas to sleep/unwind. The beach by the house was perfect for young kids, the older kids loved the game room in the basement, fishing was great and it was walking distance to the public beach and downtown Shell Lake. The furniture was a little worn and outdated, but was clean and functional.

House on Shell Lake near town with sandy bottom beach and walk out swimming. House is nice, lots of beds. Could use an upgrade of couches. Pontoon boat as an add-on to our rental was a big part of the fun!

We once again had a wonderful stay. The cabin was very clean when we arrived. There is so much space for us all, and the basement game room and beautiful beach were perfect for the kids. We cannot wait to stay again

Large, clean - very nice house. Only downside was that it was not a good option for bringing your own boat unless you want to remove it daily, because you really need a boat lift on that side of the lake. Would work great if you rent the owners boat.

We had the best time at Tim’s lake home on Shell Lake! The home was clean, spacious, comfortable beds and very well stocked with everything we needed for the week. More than enough room for our group to spread out. The lake frontage is beautiful, we were lucky enough to have a full moon during out stay and it was gorgeous watching it over the lake while enjoying a camp fire. Our kiddos had the best time swimming and playing in the sand. Shell lake is wonderful for younger kids as it stays shallow for quite a distance and it is so clear! We had some really windy days and one rainy day but spent some time playing pool, board games and took the quick drive to Spooner to explore the small shops! The check in and check out process was very easy. Thank you so much for sharing your lake home with our family, we will definitely book again in the future!!

Spent one week here with children and grandchildren. Loved the access of the private sandy beach. Plenty of room for everyone and the game room in basement was a plus. Took advantage of a few evenings by the fire pit watching the moon rise over Shell Lake - Beautiful views! A great place to stay for families to stay together under the same roof and also have a little privacy as it has 2 kitchens, 3 bathrooms and 2 sets of washer/ dryers. We would rent this again.

Always wonderful
We've been going to this property as a family for years and we love it more every year. Tim is so helpful and quick to respond if you need him. The property is spacious and updated, the beach and lake are clean - what more do you need? We love that there are boats available to rent already on the property - one less logistic to figure out! Thank you Tim!

Beautiful Lake House
The "cabin" was exactly what we needed for our 3 families. It has plenty of room for everyone to spread out and not feel too cramped. The teenagers loved the basement gameroom and having their own space. The beach was perfect for the younger kids as it stays shallow for a ways out. We look forward to staying every year

Beautiful area, lake Beautiful.
House accommodations were adequate. I would not let the kids sleep in basement because there was no egress window for emergency evacuation. The yard area was unmown so lots of bugs
And hard for our grandkids to play close to house.

Beautiful property on a beautiful lake
This is a beautiful lake home on a beautiful lake. The lake is crystal clear and sandy. The property has a great little sandy beach area . The kids had a great time playing there. The house is very large and fits 2 families very nicely, each with there own space. I was very pleased to see how well stocked the house was with necessities and towels too. Also a bonus is having 2 kitchens and 2 washer and dryers. The house was very nice. The cleaning service could certainly do a better job cleaning however. Basic things were clean but they don’t seem to address things in the pull out couches, cob webs and dusting too well. Overall however it was a great house! Tim the property owner was great and promptly got back to me with any questions or concerns . We look forward to coming back in 2021!

Great place for anything anybody would want to use it for.
Great place, tons of space and room for many people to relax and enjoy. only issue we had was parking boats and trailers as we had a few. Still giving the highest review possible as we dealt with it and made it work. Have rented a few places over the years and this by far is the best yet. If the fishing and walleye limits were better we would be on his forever list every year for sure. Jim is a Great person to work with and responded quickly to anything asked. 5++ Stars and I wish others would take notes from him for people renting all over the country. 👍�👍�👍�👍�👍�

Nice family vacation
Our family had an enjoyable stay on Shell Lake! Tim was quick to respond when we had to contact him about a leak. The rental had plenty of room for our entire family. The outside deck had a nice table and chairs that made it enjoyable to sit outside and play cards or enjoy a cup of coffee and a book. The kids and adults loved the private sandy beach area and the water was crystal clear and shallow, great for the kids to swim and play in. It was a plus having a firepit right on the beach area. We also had a ton of fun with the casino table that was downstairs. The one downfall was, most of the family got swimmers itch. Overall, we had a nice family vacation here.

Great house for the price
Loved the location to town and access to the water. Had a nice dock, pontoon lift and boat lift. Owner was very friendly and helpful. Few small updates around the house would be nice. We are already planning our stay here for next year. Overall we really enjoyed our time in Shell Lake and at the house. Thanks

This was a beautiful vacation rental!
A great house with our own beach, dock, fire pit, etc. that was a perfect fit for us. It was especially nice for the grandkids as the water was shallow enough that they didn't have to have life jackets on all the time. We were able to walk to town and enjoy the activities there also. I would highly recommend a stay here!

Great stay, awesome location!
We stayed for our second summer and everything was great (again). This year we had no mayflies and the weather was perfect for swimming. We all love the location -- a perfect sandy beach with good kayaking and swimming with the convenience of being close to town to shop. Everything you need is provided; thank you so much for letting us stay!

Excellent Location for a Mini-Vacation
We were scheduled to stay for four nights but departed early due to the weather. Five stars for the home and one star for Mother Nature! The home provided everything we needed, communication with the owner beforehand was excellent, and the location can't be beat. We also liked the fact that we didn't have to stay for an entire week, as we like to take shorter, more frequent vacations during the summer. The lake was big and inviting, but due to rain, strong winds, and cold during our entire stay, we didn't get to take advantage of the sandy beach (it would have been excellent swimming for the kids), paddle boat, or kayak. To make matters worse, the mayflies decided to hatch our first night. We played board games, laughed a lot, and ventured into town to do some shopping. We had no issues at all (except for the weather, which no one can control). We would go back in a heartbeat!
