Shopes' Vacation Homes

No matter who you voted for, you're probably happy the election is behind us. It's time to take a deep breath and let it all go! We still have quite a bit of availability before the holiday getaways kick in. Take advantage of low off-season rates in the mountains or at the beach and just breathe ...

Our guests at AirBnb.com/h/ShopesCabin told us the locals stopped by to say "Hello" and sent us this picture. Our bear sightings never get old. 🐻❤

We're making progress on our Earth House at Lake Wateree! We're pouring concrete tomorrow and the Biotekt panels should arrive in early October. At that point, the home's structure will begin to come to life!

We always value opinions from this group. Would you use a wood burning hot tub at an AirBnb? Or, would a regular electric hot tub be preferred?

Our Earth House project has been delayed due to contractor issues. We're hoping to hear back this coming week on our building permit so we can get started. In the meantime, we're almost done buiding this semi-permanent dome with a cool glamping vibe on the property. What do you think? Too "out there" or would you stay in a place like this?
