What Guests Are Saying
The shelter rental at Fishtrap Lake was a wonderful experience, equipped with all necessary amenities for a cookout, including a grill, electricity, tables, and nearby bathrooms. The booking assistance from Lilly was impressive, and Shelter 2 is accessible, featuring handicapped parking and concrete sidewalks for those with mobility issues. Overall, the facilities met all needs for a successful gathering.

The shelter we rented was already being occupied by a large household shower party. There were no signs at the shelter indicating that we had it rented. So, we had to go elsewhere. I will never rent from there again.
