Staying at the Mac Shack...We when you first enter you see the quality and effort that has been put in to make you feel welcome. Even the pictures on line didn't do it justice, in fact it is better than the photos.Attention to detail is fantastic. The welcome package is first class. We can't wait to return.... it really feels like a home from home.
