Perfect relaxing weekend on Island Lake

Posted: Jul 18, 2025

My family and I were visiting friends in the area and were so fortunate to stay at Island Lakehouse. The pictures do not do this home justice. It is immaculate inside and out and had lots of activities and games for the entire family, from corn hole to ping pong. The home has a private dock, perfect for the kids to jump off of and play around in the water and the hosts provided kayaks, paddleboards, and plenty of life jackets for fun on the lake. We enjoyed dinner on the patio and were able to light the gas fireplace in the center on the cooler evenings, but the best part of the night was toasting S'Mores down on the firepit by the water. I highly recommend this home and can't wait to visit Shelton and Union again next year!

This home was truly like being in our home away from home. Comfortable furniture, fully stocked pots, pans and dishes. We would book here again in a heartbeat

 
Sweet Refuge at Island Lakehouse

At the last minute, I needed to come to the Shelton area to help out with a family emergency for six weeks. The Island Lakehouse was the only rental available on such short notice, and it was a bit bigger than I thought I needed, but I took it. I am SO glad I did! The house is adorable, very well appointed and immaculate; the view magnificent; and the assistance provided by the owner was very helpful in my time of tremendous stress. Each day, when I returned to the house, I was so very grateful for a safe, relaxing, and comfortable haven. I highly recommend this property and will surely try to stay here on all future visits.

 
Beautiful house that feels like home!

The Island Lakehouse is a charming house in a beautiful setting right on the lake. It is well laid out, furnished in comfortable, lake-house chic style, and the owner provided a lovely welcome basket of goodies to help me get settled in. Plus, they were very willing to work with me on my rapidly changing needs due to a family medical crisis. I appreciated the simplicity and genuinely caring response when I needed to arrive earlier and stay longer than planned. I highly recommend this one!
