    The view was gorgeous and enjoyed the house!! We only went downstairs to wash clothes but it smelled a little musty so glad we were sleeping upstairs. Also we read and reread directions for the hot tub but we could not get the top off and didn’t want to damage it. Can’t beat the view!!!

    Truly enjoyed our time at the BigSky Sea Shanty! The views are unparalleled and the property is in a private area without any traffic. All amenities were provided and the hot tub was perfect for stargazing at nighttime. Lorin was a great host with lots of tips and suggestions for things to do in the area. Very prompt in responding to any questions. Very much appreciated our time at this cottage.

    Everything was as promised, location could not be better, sunsets nightly from the hot tub. Doesn’t get any better. House had everything you will need and everything you forgot. Lorin was great, answered questions, when needed. Will stay again when in the area without hesitation. Thanks for sharing your space.
