The Shackteau - Main House

**Dock removed for the winter**

(Desire more photos? Plz inquire!) Awaken to bird-song, rooster crows & hungry whinnies. Stretch & take in the lake view. Grab a coffee, meditate on the dock in your PJs face to the sun & wind-chimes in the breeze. Pat a soft horse-muzzle on your way back up. Plan your afternoon adventure - take a swim, kayak or fishing ? After host-cooked dinner, have a drink at the fire. Raining? Do game night, karaoke or sauna. Sip wine at the balcony bar & watch the storm. Before bed, take a book & wine into a bubble bath by the fire. Repeat.

The Shackteau has everything you need for a relaxing vacation: Music making, meditation space, home gym, boats, swimming, friendly animals, hammocks, sauna, fireplaces indoors and out, luxurious bath, and lots of extra fee-for-service offerings, including private home-cooking.

Reduced rate in exchange for overlooking some "aesthetic immaturity" thanks to covid-related dearth of trades-people. Painting is behind schedule, so art & bedroom TVs not yet hung, a bit of furniture ordered in Feb. still not arrived. An undelivered couch is preventing the installation of a french door at top of stairs. None of this should seriously impact your vacation.
