We really enjoyed our two night stay at John’s house, wish we had more time to stay longer. It was still covered in snow and was so private, peaceful and quiet, just what we were looking for. We loved exploring the woods on the property. Beautiful 360 degree views of the surrounding lake and woods. The house was clean, comfortable and well stocked. John was responsive and helpful and I appreciated the attention to detail. Love the horse too :)

Even though our stay was cut short due to weather, we had a wonderful time. John was very responsive to our calls. The grounds were beautiful and all accommodations met our needs. Thanks!

My kids are frequent travelers, but I've never used airbnb before, so I had no idea what to expect. This listing absolutely blew me away! The property itself was gorgeous, inside and out; the rooms were clean and comfortable (nice and toasty in the winter!), the kitchen well-stocked so that we had no problem cooking; the hosts were also very responsive and accommodating, which made our late-minute stay go all the more smoothly! All in all, it was an amazing experience, and I definitely look forward to similar ones in the future!

We stayed at Shiv's place for a long weekend. It's a beautiful cabin right by the lake and we enjoyed the space and the surroundings. The cabin is beautiful and clean and the kitchen is well equipped. Shiv was very responsive during our stay. We were traveling with our toddler, so we particularly appreciated that a crib, crib mattress, high chair and baby gate were provided as part of the accommodation.

This was the rustic out of the way place we were looking for. It is a wonderful place to relax and enjoy family. We took long walks and talked to the resident horse. It’s a shame it was winter because if it was summer, we would’ve absolutely loved to play tennis and do more outside. We were there for a wedding, but came two days prior. This would be an excellent venue if you had lots of family, as there are other cabins on the same property. From beginning to end, we absolutely loved our time here. Sidenote: I myself. (Amy) have a difficult time sleeping “thank you menopause” and I slept like a baby in the bedroom with the ensuite. Having wood for the fireplace made being there in the winter a dream. We would absolutely love to come back.

We love this place! The views overlooking the lake are beautiful. We love the peaceful quiet location. The house is neat and exceptionally clean. The kitchen has everything you need. Shiv was proactive with directions and instructions. He also reached out several times to check in during our stay, which we appreciated. This is a GREAT AirBnB! We look forward to coming back soon!
