We had a great time in Shell Knob and enjoyed the property. It's a little off the beaten path, but there's plenty to do. Our kids enjoyed the big yard with play equipment, and especially the shared pool! I enjoyed some morning and evening runs along roads without too much traffic. One complaint was that I requested a floor plan, but the owner had none to give--just the pictures and a description of what rooms were on what floors. Thus, when we arrived, we were surprised that the house was broken into three apartments (one on the bottom, two on top). It made it a little difficult to break up family units and would have been nice to know ahead of time. All in all, it's roomy, and a great place to stay!
