Shady Pines exceeded my expectations. Newly renovated, beautifully decorated interior. The attention to detail did not go unnoticed. The house has anything you need to prepare meals. Large dining room table for family. Great space and perfect location on a quiet street close to Rayburn Clubhouse. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay. I can’t wait to come back when the weather is cooler so I can enjoy the large covered porch/deck and also the fire pit. If you are looking for a great getaway at Rayburn, this is the house. You won’t be disappointed. ##### Deanne B. Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chris P. May 31, 2024 #### Totally Texas!! Everything is bigger and better in TEXAS! This home was just completely renovated. Love the big open area and fantastic lighting! Very quant and remote area for relaxing. Beautiful (and big) front porch, very relaxing, while listening to a mild thunderstorm in the rocking chair. We rented home for a fishing tournament at Sam Rayburn Reservoir (also BIG). Conveniently located to the Humphrey Pavilion and landing area. 5 minute drive away! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a getaway and a reprieve from the hustle and bustle of life! ##### Chris P. Stayed 6 nights in May 2024 This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dylan F. Jun 17, 2024 #### Outstanding! Pulling into the drive way alone was a breathtaking moment. There were freshly cut wood formed for sitting along the side of a fire ring; perfect for making s'more's or singing around a fire! The view from the front porch was amazing, especially at sunset. The home itself was beautiful and extremely clean. The owner himself was very kind, welcoming and friendly enough to allow us to bum his coffee (lol)! This was my husbands and my first real vacation with our freshly new son (he’s a year old) and he also had a time of life. In the Master room, downstairs, also has a connected room with a baby packnplay! Absolutely perfect for an attached nursery. We loved that very much. We cannot wait to return in the fall! :) ##### Dylan F. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelsie M.
