Why they chose this property
We purchased The Gunstock Shanty in 2024 and worked tirelessly renovating. The Shanty is designed in a rustic vibe, bringing nature in, while remaining inviting, cozy and relaxing. The live edge Mulberry wood you see throughout the home was crafted by us and was our childhood tree. This magical homestead quickly became an adored retreat; where we like to spend our downtime enjoying nature while skiing, hiking, boating and just being. We hope you love it as much as we do.
