The Neighborhood:
Shelton is known for its welcoming community. The residents are friendly and often engage in local events and activities. It’s also a quiet neighborhood, making it an ideal place for relaxation. The cottage is just a short drive from downtown Shelton, where guests can find shopping, dining, and entertainment options. There is also an off-leash dog park and ultimate frisbee park with tennis courts two blocks away. The lake itself has a park with a playground for kids, and a park with a picnic area and boat launch (non-motorized boats only).

Getting Around:
This house is remote enough that you will need a car to get to and from restaurants and grocery stores in the busier parts of town. Guests can use our bikes for going around the lake or for exploring the nearby area. It’s a beautiful place for long strolls too so bring comfortable walking shoes!
