A Wonderful Stay

This house was such a perfect place for our family to stay and explore Murfreesboro and dig for diamonds. Our kids loved exploring around the pond. It is so beautiful that words don't do it justice! We took advantage of the digging tools provided for Crater of Diamonds State Park, and although we didn't strike it rich, we did have a huge amount of fun. The kitchen had everything we needed to fry up the fish we caught at Lake Greeson, and we definitely kept the washer and dryer going after our adventures at the mine. We would absolutely stay here again.

Diamond Dig 2025

Shady Pines will offer you a clean, quiet, and relaxing home to stay when you are in need of a place to rest up. We stayed for three nights while we were in town to dig for diamonds. We were four adults and Shady Pines provided us all with plenty of space to relax and enjoy our time together. Having the washer and dryer was a big plus so we could wash our clothes after a day of digging. The value for what Shady Pines offers is great! I recommend Shady Pines for the reasons noted above, plus the host was always available when needed.

Family adventure

We enjoyed the space and how close it was to the State Park. Our kids had room to roam and try to catch some fish in the pond. No luck though. Great place to stay for a larger group or a family who wants space and privacy.

Close, quiet, relaxing and beautiful

Close enough to the COD to be convenient, far enough away to be quiet. The pond was beautiful and fun to fish. Plenty of "little things" make this place special. Condiments abound, they have a good selection of hand tools to borrow for use at the crater. We'd stay here again for sure!

Mother/Son Getaway

Everything was perfect. We had the best time with our boys! The party barge was a HUGE success with the older two who were literally up at 5am each morning to get their fishing stuff together and spend the morning on the lake catching fish and hanging out. That allowed us busy, always on the go mommas to sleep in and just have lazy mornings for the first time in months. We truly enjoyed our stay and could not have been happier with the location to everything. We ate lunch at the Feed Bin and it was delicious!!!! Highly recommend!

A Very Comfortable Stay

My daughter, my three small grandsons, and I enjoyed our stay very much. We had very comfortable beds, plenty of room, and a well supplied kitchen. It was so nice to wake up early and enjoy the front porch with a cup of coffee and then later sit out back and watch the boys run around and explore the yard. The property is situated on a nice quiet country road.
