Cozy and Relaxing
Host did a wonderful job communicating throughout check in process. I was in town for my brother's graduation, and the house was in a perfect location, it was quiet, accommodating, and i was pleased that my dogs were able to make the trip with me. I highly recommend, and I would definitely stay again if I am back in the area.

Kyack shack
Me and my father n law stayed at the kyack shack five nights for a hunting trip. We had a great experience. The kyack shack was not fancy but it was very clean and comfortable. It was in a great location to Wetumpka and Charles is a great host!! Great spot for any outdoorsman and woman. Look forward to staying at kyack shack again. Rock from Rock Spring, Ga.

Mice, Mold, & Mildew
Before you even open the front door, you notice the smell similar of an old musty, damp basement. There was no amount of air fresheners or candles that would get rid of that smell. It gets in your clothes and everything you own, including your pets. The bedding was NOT WASHED, the couch covers were not washed. I HAD TO WASH ALL the bedding, all the towels, all the pillows, and couch covers. One of the comforters had mold in it. Nothing was cleaned or wiped down prior to my arrival. Definitely NOT Covid-19 sanitized. The ceiling fan was covered with 1/2 inch of dust and dog hair. The shower liner was moldy. The shower caulking was moldy. The coffee maker was dirty. The microwave was rusty and had crusty food in it. The refrigerator was not wiped out. The floors were not vacuumed or mopped. The bottom of the garbage can was caked with old moldy food and who knows what else. There was dog food and dirty kleenex under the couch cushions (I do not own a dog). Best of all, there was MOUSE DROPPINGS in every single room (this was the day I checked in)! There was a mouse living under the kitchen sink and IN THE BOX SPRING/MATTRESS. The outlet the stove was plugged into had no faceplate?! My dad was also with me upon check in and he was just as disgusted with the filth. Do not let the fact there are trees on two sides fool you. It is right next to a busy highway and the property owner advised me the next door neighbor was a peeping tom. WTH?? I am a single female living down here temporarily for work with her two pets. If I could give this property less than one *star* I would. I do not recommend staying here. I was very disappointed and frustrated. It caused a lot of undue stress. Because of the multiple safety and health concerns, I was forced to find new accommodations.
