We had a blast in the beautiful home and enjoyed the location so much. If you like nature this is where you need to stay. We didn't even have to drive anywhere to go on a hike/nature walk. 10/10 Will book again. read less

The South Bunk House met all of our needs: a well-equipped kitchen, clean and spacious living area, and the ability to take in the outdoors privately. Plus, Ed was very kind. We'd like to return. read less

If you are interested in nature and birding this is the place to go. We saw many kinds of birds and other wild life as well. The hiking trails are easy for everyone and easily seen. Not far from Naples or Hammondsport and wineries.
Lovely stay, super energy efficient. read less

You are immersed in nature (but still very close to the main road). The house was huge, 2 bathrooms, 3 bedrooms, large beds. Only downside is that we didn't get to stay longer and use the area more. Definitely recommend taking the trails around the compound. read less

Our party consisted of my husband and I, and our grown son and his significant other. We had a lovely time at Ed's place. Because of the current pandemic, we were seeking a house that both private and inviting, and we found the right place! Ed's place backs up to a small wooded area, with wonderful paths that lead around the property, including a duck pond. There is a wonderful fire pit outside, and Ed supplies plenty of wood. The inside of the house is a bit "dated," but warm and inviting nonetheless. We cooked most of our meals in the kitchen or on the grill, and it all worked out well. Naples is a lovely town and there are plenty of very nice hikes nearby. We would definitely recommend it for anyone. read less

Shangri-La was a great choice - convenient location to hikes and wineries, the South bunk house is modern and clean with everything you need. Ed was a very hospitable host as well as the Muscovy ducks! 🙂

We will be back! read less

There were walks to get lost in, a gorgeous pond, a view where you can listen to the birds or watch the stars for ages. It was very peaceful. Ed and his team were very responsive and helpful. There are multiple properties so make sure to read the details on this one -there is only one actual bedroom. Other beds exist but the place is railroad style so the people sleeping outside of the one bedroom should all be people who want to wake up / go to bed at the same time as the sound and light from downstairs will get to everyone not sleeping in the bedroom. Also the north bunk is right beside the south bunk so the deck area with the propane grill is shared with them. We had no issue with this but it’s not a completely secluded house if that’s what you’re looking for - there are other properties in Shangri-La that are more secluded. read less

The house was spotless and clean, the ice maker and filtered water in the fridge was amazing and this was the perfect place to have a little mini reunion weekend with my parents after months apart. Very happy and would return. read less

We were looking for a secluded getaway from the city where we would have space to roam around, and this fit the bill perfectly. The care and pride that Ed and his team put into every aspect of their property is evident, and it truly is amazing how much they have achieved here. The North Bunk House had so much space and was very clean, with privacy and lots of things to see and do. We enjoyed grilling outside, visiting the ducks, looking at the solar farm, and wandering around the property. The North Bunk House is next to the South Bunk House which is rented separately, so it was a bit loud as there was a wedding party who had booked during the same time as us. However, we were out and about during the day, and the temperature dropped in the evening, so closing the windows blocked out the sound and we were able to enjoy our time regardless. Ed was so friendly and generous, and really made us feel welcome. Be sure to bring drinking water if you need (there is a slight sulfur smell in the water) and toiletries, and you will have a great time! Thank you, Ed! We would love to come back again! read less
