Great stay at Hemlock haven. Never stayed at an Airbnb like this before. The whole experience was amazing. Thanks Jo and Kent for your hospitality. A very welcoming couple who leave you to enjoy your surroundings but are also always at hand if you need any help or missing extras! A pleasure meeting you both.

One Big Sustainable Island is super lovely and relaxing. Hiking trails, swimming spots, canoes to roam around with. The only downside for us was that the shores of the lake have a great many houses on them and we were looking for a bit more solitude. Still, quite a memorable trip...

We had a great stay! The island is beautiful and jo and Kent were very hospitable and courteous; they went above and beyond. Kent even helped us start a fire! The tent was perfect and we’ll be back again soon!

Jo and Kent are incredible hosts! The island is beautiful with so much to do. Our only regret was just staying one night!

The tent is accurately described and pictured and Jo and Kent were delightful hosts. We used their canoe and kayaks, swam in the lake, explored the island, and relaxed by the fire. Definitely a welcome retreat and one we hope to return to soon!
