Our family group of 7 stayed for a week in the South Bunkhouse. We had a blast! Our youngest (6 and 4) especially enjoyed walking on the trails and pathways greeting the ducks and chickens, toads and frogs, and having snacks at the trail picnic tables! Our host even provided some duck and chicken eggs for our enjoyment - yummy! Golf was close by in Naples for our golfers, and Great-Grandma's house on Loon Lake was a short drive away for some lake adventures. We'll be back!
The bunkhouse is beautiful, warm and inviting! We very much enjoyed ourselves, being lazy, playing games, doing puzzles, eating and laughing!!! Owner, Ed very accommodating and responsive to our questions, kind, and funny!! Thank you for a wonderful experience!!!
It was wonderful to spend 4 days in this natural Shangra-La. Here, you are well placed to explore the Finger Lakes district in several directions, only you may not wish to leave the grounds! There are several trails though the woods to walk on. It is quiet here, and the air is so clean. You are supplied with everything that you will need to keep your stay comfortable. We stayed at the South Bunkhouse. We took many fine memories home with us and it was good to know that since this really is a green site- we know that we only left gentle footprints. Thanks Ed!
Nice location and property- host was informative and prompt with replies ! Enjoyed our time at the Finger Lakes !
This place was gorgeous and also well stocked with necessities! It was easy to get it and check out as well. The rental is on a private lot with small trails in the woods and around a lake. They also have ducks on the land, but they are friendly and won’t bother you at all. The rental is a few minutes from Naples that has cute stores and restaurants, but it is also worth finding other places to see the natural beauty in the area, like Watkins Glen and Lake Canandaigua. The only thing that was an issue for us was that we came during a heat wave and there is no air conditioning as it is an eco-friendly establishment. There are plenty of fans and we were comfortable enough with them. It’s just worth noting in case you are someone who feels they need that.
Spacious and comfortable house. Surrounding property was very unique and a great place to explore. All the amenities we needed (towels, soap, coffee, etc) were there to just walk in and relax! It’s clear the owner (and care takers) take pride in the property and grounds.
We loved our stay at Shangri-La, it's really peaceful and a beautiful spot.
This property is a reflection of the owner and how he lives his values and principles. We had a great time and a nice break from our working lives. Ed was available to answer any questions and is an interesting guy to speak with. We will likely return.
The weather was perfect and every part of Shangri-la was relaxing and enjoyed by us and our guests (including our furry family members.) Ed was super responsive and accommodating from the day we booked and throughout our stay. The staff were friendly and helpful. Everything including the homes and grounds are meticulously cared for and it shows. I loved the nature paths connecting the homes, the birds and little animals and ducks roaming around, and especially sitting near the pond to relax and soak in the beauty. We enjoyed sitting around the fire pits making s’mores. It was a slice of heaven in the woods. I’m so grateful we chose to spend our long weekend here with friends and family. Definitely check out the Neapolitan wood fire pizza place and the farmers market 5 into 5min away in town and Grimes Glen was another natural beauty to enjoy.
My husband and I stayed at Shangri-la with our three children ages 9, 6 and 3. The house was spacious, clean and well equipped. We enjoyed walking on the trails and having camp fires. We will definitely return.
