Even with this tough competition, the Mac Shack stood out as an absolutely wonderful stay. From the friendly, helpful, host and hostess and their beautiful, very comfortable home, I cannot imagine a better rental. We have rented many homes from VRBO, some City apartments, country cottages, beautiful villas and even a castle. Mac shack was the equal or better than any other accommodation. Thank you for our amazing few days. ##### Nat B. Stayed 3 nights in Oct 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jon S. Nov 28, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Excellent accommodation Every room was immaculately clean and tastefully dressed. The cupboards were well stocked with more than enough for 4 people. The weather was not good to us but would imagine in the spring/summer the outside space would add to the enjoyment of staying here. Will return to find out! ##### Jon S. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### alison b.
