Summary: Best house on the lake. Perfect size for my family. will be renting every single time. Owner was responsive and kind. Don't tell anyone how great this place is because everyone will rent it
James F. Jul 20, 2024 03:08:49 AM
Summary: This is a classic old wooden lodge right on Walloon Lake in the ideal place for pontooning. It is not fancy, it harkens back to yesteryear! Fun going back in time. Only thing we would have liked would have been for the cleaners to make sure the floors were well-vacuumed and the windows were washed.

Summary: The Lodge is the perfect gathering spot for family and friends. Well-appointed and spacious. Highly Recommend.
Joan G. Jul 31, 2023 12:54:57 PM
Summary: Spacious for our family of 12. Kitchen and baths need some updating and cleaning. Pots and pans were scarce and needed constant tending. Scorched easily, even at lower temps. Grounds, dock and parking were a 10. We had a pontoon boat for three days and all enjoyed the experience greatly. Kayaks and canoes were used by the younger cousins and by the time we left, all were proficient sailors. Bedrooms were spacious. Again, found the mattress pads dingy, blankets and bedspreads questionable. As for the bath, in fact, all doors squeaky and rarely easily secured. Toilets, sinks and showers worked and drained well. Three, actually 2 upstairs baths were a challenging for the numbers who had to use them morning and night. All that being said, everyone said they loved their week on Shadow Trail Lodge. Tried to contact property manager, left voice mail regarding the check out procedure. No response

Summary: The Lodge was the perfect place to spend a week with my wife, three daughters and their family's. In total there were eleven of us, each of us having a very comfortable bedroom arrangement. The property was very well maintained, clean, and comfortable. The location was superb, three miles from Walloon Village. The views of the lake were exceptional, easy access to the water, dock and water toys. Definitely give this property a perfect 5 star rating.

Summary: Our family loved the Lodge and had a fantastic trip. The property is wonderful and the lodge has the charm of a classic historical log home combined with all of the modern comforts of modern appliances, ample kitchen supplies, a/c, etc. We enjoyed the sandy bottom swimming area and docked our boat for easy access to boat rides. We enjoyed the kayaks and paddleboard as well. The host and the property caretaker were very helpful and responsive to our questions and we highly recommend renting this property for larger groups / extended family vacation. We will plan to be back again in the future.

Summary: The Lodge is a special place. This year we especially appreciated the location - It's a quiet spot, protected from some of the weather that blew through. Thanks for another great vacation on Walloon!

Summary: Beautiful area, spacious home, and David was excellent with communication. I highly recommend staying at this home. We look forward to returning.

Summary: Our family has rented several vacation homes on Walloon over the years. Shadow Trails Inn is by far the most beautiful, home we have rented on Walloon. Our family created lasting memories at Shadow Trails Inn. Father’s Day was spent in the stunning dining room, we felt like we were dining in a fine restaurant. The kitchen was stocked with bottled water, and a chef’s dream. The bedrooms were spacious with very comfortable beds while offering views of the lake. There were separate wings for the bedrooms!!! Our family enjoyed the ample outdoor seating with views of the lake and the covered front porch. The new gas grill was a plus. David communicated before and during our stay to make sure everything was taken care of and we were enjoying our vacation. Again, the best communication that I have had with a property owner. We loved David’s home and hope to return again. I also recommend Walloon Central for the pontoon boat rental. They dropped off and retrieved the boat from the house. This allowed us to start our vacation with an evening cruise.!! Overall, I highly recommend Shadow Trails Inn. Family memories are priceless.

Summary: Staying at the lodge this weekend was the highlight of my year so far! I came with a group of friends and enjoyed every minute of it. The pictures on here do not give the house justice! It’s beautiful, with so many bedrooms, bathrooms and gathering rooms. The living room was a perfect size where we could all gather and play games. The view of the lake and the sunrise was a bonus! We all want to come back for the summer!
