Summary: I went August 15-16,2025 with my husband to celebrate our birthdays that we share close to this time. I loved the Shire! It’s close enough to town to grab a quick lunch or dinner at The Wildflower Cafe which was so quaint! ❤️ The little stone house offers the old farmhouse feels with everything you’ll need to cook, cozy blankets, grilling was a breeze with all you need, My favorite part was of course the kayaking during the day, and the hot tub at night! You just walk down the little path out back straight to the water! This location and this place as a whole was a SWEET SURPRISE offering peaceful tranquility and privacy along with all the comforts of home! We will definitely try to come back and stay again! ♥️ #WIFIworks #FULLYstocked #COZYfeels #ONtheWATER #KAYAKSprovided
