My husband, my mother and I usually go to the Adirondacks for a long weekend every summer. This summer, however, because of the pandemic our plans were cancelled. So we decided to try and find something closer to home (Rochester, NY) that had a similar feel. We were really in need of a peaceful getaway in the country away from the chaos of 2020. I came across Ed's listing for Shangrila and it was perfect for what we were looking for! It's right outside Naples in the beautiful Bristol hills. We had a great lunch in town on the way and stopped at the local outdoor market on the way back to get some goodies. Ed was very friendly, helpful and communicative as soon as we booked and throughout the process. He met us when we arrived and gave us all the info we needed for our stay. We booked the North Bunk House which had plenty of room for us to spread out and be comfy. We especially loved sitting in the balcony and watching the tons of different birds in the trees above us. There is a beautiful view of the duck pond (right in front of the house) and hills surrounding us. And we loved getting to know the muscovy ducks that live there. There are all kinds of trails around the property some inside wooded areas and we loved exploring them all. We really appreciated how eco-friendly everything is including the fact that everything is solar powered. And that it was pet friendly so we could bring our dog. We wanted to be more "unplugged" during our stay so we didn't watch tv, but there were plenty of tv's and internet you could use if you wanted. We met a couple other of the grounds staff while we were there and they were also very friendly and knowledgeable when we had questions about the ducks, other wildlife or the property. We really enjoyed our stay and look forward to booking again sometime in the future.
