The home fit the bill and totally exceeded our expectations. The home was well appointed and we spent most of the time chatting on the screened in porch or working on puzzles. The hosts were responsive and were nice enough to leave a few gifts for us. Wish we could have stayed for a week because we were having so much fun on the property.

The outside seating is ample and really enjoyable (by the water, in an enclosed deck, and on the front porch). Daniele and Michael are wonderful hosts -- very responsive and generous too (we were greeted with some lovely welcome gifts). I would definitely stay here again and recommend it for family gatherings, reunions, or just a nice getaway. ##### Amy Y.

From the moment we pulled up it was just like the photo. All of the kids oohhed and ahhed as they walked through the doors! Shadyhurst was perfect for our group of 10. Our kids ranged from 6-16 and there was plenty of space! The house was spotless, kitchen fully stocked, and tastefully decorated. We loved the time spent on the dock, whether attempting to catch something or relaxing on the Adirondacks. The beds were super comfy too which is a huge plus!! We would definitely stay there again, maybe longer next time! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen L.

The kitchen and dining rooms were well equipped to handle group meals (including a high chair for babies). The outdoor space had shade and sunshibe, swings and fireflies. We rented a delivery kayak on recommendation from the owners and saw multiple osprey, including two who fought over a fish mid-flight (the fish ended up getting dropped into the bay)! It's a 20 minute drive to Haven Beach which was wonderful! The hosts were incredibly accommodating and responsive to our requests. Just a wonderful trip all around! ##### Stephen L.

The property is very clean with lots of goodies that can keep the family entertained. Unfortunately it was very hot and humid during our stay so couldn't take advantage of the screened porch and the outside areas but the a/c worked wonderfully --- even on the top floor with thermostats on each floor! We cooked a bit and the cooking supplies were superb -- even the knives were sharp and nice Calphalon pans of all shapes and sizes were available. And the Internet access was great -- with external monitora and even printers available. Daniele and Michael clearly have given a lot of thought and care to the property! Thank you! Would highly recommend the house for any big groups that want a getaway in a rural area! ##### Jeanney K. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Anne R. Aug 4, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Beautiful country home by the river Our family had a wonderful stay at Shadyhurst. The property was exceptionally maintained and very close to the dock with access to the river and bay. The house and the kitchen had every amenity for a weeklong stay. Our family of 10 particularly enjoyed the large screened in porch set up with a large table for dining and playing games. Although the internet access was great, we ended up playing card games and hanging out in the evenings after visits to Busch Gardens, Water Country USA and Jamestown/Colonial Williamsburg which are all an hour or less from the property. The close location to the water and the beautiful property made the day trips worth it. It was so quiet with only birds, crickets and tree frogs for music at night. The beds were very comfortable and accommodated 6 adults and 4 children well. The children loved the swings and making s’mores over the fire. It was an idyllic vacation. ##### Anne R.
