My husband, two children and I enjoyed a week at this stunning house in the forest. The property is amazing, with many hiking trails all over that lead to neat things to explore. It is quiet and peaceful, and you can hear a pin drop as you walk pensively through the pine straw. The house has the feel of a Swiss chalet, with its elegant design. It is immaculately clean, beautifully decorated, and comfortably furnished. Our teen enjoyed having the lower level "suite" to herself. The beds were awesome. The loft area was a fantastic place for the kids to hang out and play games. The kitchen was very well appointed and had everything we needed to prepare dinners at home after our days out hiking, swimming, and exploring. The area is rich with things to do - there is no way to get bored in this area, and every opportunity to take advantage of all the nature it has to offer while enjoying the conveniences of modern life. Shelia and Bob are incredibly friendly, funny, and helpful people who were a pleasure to meet and talk with during our trip. They addressed any questions we had within hours and provided tons of helpful information about the area, as they have lived there for many years. I can best describe them as renaissance souls, having a multitude of successful ventures and really fascinating hobbies. At our request, Bob very kindly spent a couple of hours of his free time with us one day explaining the workings of the maple syrup farm. We all learned a lot and enjoyed his great stories as well. (We bought several bottles of syrup to take home as gifts, and all recipients have said it’s the best syrup they’ve ever tasted.) He showed us their awesome tree house (also for rent), and answered our questions about their many years as wilderness guides, working with youth, and running their business innovations company. We ran into people all over town - at Paul Smith's College and in nearby stores, who knew Bob and Sheila and are good friends with them. This was one of our best vacations ever and we would come here again in a heartbeat.
