Shannon's place was magical but beyond just her house, Shannon was a highlight. She greeted us at the door and showed us to our room and immediately offered us tea. She made us feel so welcome, making us delicious breakfasts in the morning, giving us tips for swimming lakes on the island (my sister and I had a goal of swimming in every lake during our stay) and including us in her daily life. The house was just perfect for my sister and myself as we were looking for a quiet retreat where we could work remotely (Shannon has great wifi) and also relax. The deck overlooks the ocean, there are deer that come into the yard, and she has an amazing garden, which she used to make our breakfasts with fresh fruit and veggies.
The house was very close to town and to some great hikes and swimming. I would stay here again in a heartbeat and if you're looking for an airbnb experience where you actually connect with the host, this is your spot.
