We stayed at Shiv's property for a weekend while we were in town for a family member's wedding. The place would be challenging to find in the dark if it weren't for the very detailed directions provided prior to our checkin. I was very appreciative of how proactive Shiv and John were at giving us the directions to eliminate confusion. Being that it is difficult to find, it tells you exactly how private and remote it was. Very peaceful. The space itself was roomy but laid out in a way that you still felt together when on the main floor. It was clean, just had a few spiders to kill here and there..but that comes with the territory of this property being secluded and surrounded by nature and wildlife. The main level being all glass doors really allowed you to appreciate the view. We quite enjoyed our stay and can see how this is a gem of a spot all four seasons of the year. Being that we were there in December, we really appreciated the access to firewood for the fireplace. Pleasant stay!

We hosted my and my fianceé’s families for a small engagement party here and it was lovely! The location was great: private, overlooking the water, and open floor plan for all of us to hang out. The hosts were responsive and super helpful as it began to snow overnight and the driveways needed to be cleared. 10/10 place! I would definitely come back (in the summer next time 😊)

Comfortable stay with a very private setting, which made it the perfect spot for a peaceful weekend with my dog! The host was super proactive and communicated consistently to make sure all of my needs were met. The airbnb itself is spacious and the open setting made it comfortable and relaxing. There is a lot of space surrounding the cabin for walks and exploring.
