The location is amazing.

Easy check in, clean and easy access to the the Black river and Clearwater Lake. Great porch for extra outdoor space and relaxing. Neighbors are trash collectors, but quiet.

Last minute deal

We rented this property last minute because we were over booked at the last place. We were so thankful that someone had canceled & it was available. It did the job & kept the kids happy but it wasn’t the cleanest place. It’s felt VERY dusty. I had to wash every dish before using it. There is no A/C it’s a window unit in the kitchen, there were a few fans but they were so old & the filters were completely full & no way to clean them so hardly any air would blow. The ceiling fan in the kitchen is for looks it’s doesn’t work. All in all we were happy to still be able to go, I doubt I would stay again due to the price for what we got. Holiday weekends are more obviously but it was still high

Great “Home Base”

The “Sunshine Shack’s “ location in Piedmont, MO was perfect as our hiking “home base”. Everyday within a 30 to 60 minute driving radias we were in a National or State Park. (Ie. Elephant Rocks, Taum Sauk & Baker State Parks, Lake Wapappello, etc.) In addition, the house is well maintained and clean. Our Golden Retriever had plenty of room inside the house and it was easy to walk out the front door for “potty”breaks. Overall, a very good experience. Communication with Andy was great and quick. We had know idea that Clearwater Lake was such a big vacation spot in Missouri. The state of Missouri has wonderful landscape, friendly people and was a pleasure to experience. The “Sunshine House was perfect for our vacation needs.!

Sweet and adorable

The house was adorable and decorated very nicely. I didn’t stay very long, so didn’t have time to explore much. It was cold when I was there and the window heating unit didn’t do much to warm it up. Also, it could use an iron and ironing board for guest use. Otherwise it was absolutely lovely.

Great family getaway.

We enjoyed visiting and playing games on the screened in porch. The location is just a short drive to the lake, so we were able to hang out on the beach, do some boating and take a float trip on the Black river. The bathroom door will not shut all the way. There was not enough toilet paper or dish detergent but a fun little place to stay. Very kid friendly.

Nice getaway

We loved the porch and the fire pit. There were plenty of cooking supplies and dishes for our stay. The sunshine shack is not within walking distance to the lake (photos were misleading), and the road traffic made it dangerous to walk anywhere. (No sidewalk, no shoulder, fast traffic). No doors on bedrooms! Tiny bathroom (no one bigger than a small child will fit in bathtub). Light switches were intermittent in kitchen. Towel bars in bathroom fell off several times. Needed additional dish soap and a scrubbing pad to effectively clean dishes. No dishwasher, and no washer or dryer! We had a fabulous time and enjoyed the house, however we chose this place because the pics made it appear to have lake access. I was disappointed it did not. The beautiful porch and gorgeous weather made up for it!

Enjoying the outdoors without the hassle

Overall we really enjoyed our stay here. The information about swimming holes in the guest guide book was really helpful, and the host was really responsive when I reached out for more details. We also really enjoyed making use of the Firepit. Everything is decorated quite nicely. There are a few very minor issues. Some of the drawer pulls in the main bedroom dresser had broken off, making opening the drawers quite difficult. A couple of things broke during our stay- the sealer on the bottom of the screen door and the towel ring on the back of the bedroom door (we reattached it). There are also a couple features that I did not realize when I viewed the listing: the bedrooms do not have doors, only curtains. Also, the air conditioner is only in the kitchen. The den with the couch and tv- which we really enjoyed, btw- seems to be a porch that has been enclosed. So it tends to get hotter quicker if you turn the A/C. The A/C is quite powerful and kept us cool, but it is a little loud. We kept it on pretty much the whole time we were there. The kitchen is equipped with basic equipment and even some kind of fryer. A few baking sheets would be really useful to add. We LOVED the little toys for the kids. New toys are always preferred by the kids and they had a blast. I also really liked that I could send the kids out on the porch and know that they were safe. They loved the porch swing. Unfortunately it was hot out there for most of our stay. We tried the porch fan but it was quite loud. We enjoyed going to the creek/river. It was a little nerve wracking driving on the dirt roads in our minivan, but we were very cautious and didn’t have any mishaps. I would have been more comfortable if we were to n an suv or truck. Overall we really enjoyed it.
