The moment upon entering John and Caroline's estate you will be greeted with extended kindness and hospitality. Their passion for life is not only displayed within the beautiful sculpture garden surrounding you, but also in their attention to you as a guest in Studio C — a one of a kind experience of simplistic elegance and historic significance. The studio is full of natural light, lovely kitchen with all the essentials, set within an expansive sculpture garden and babbling stream that beckons relaxation. We stayed a week, often taking day trips throughout the Adirondacks, yet felt our return each day to the lovely town of Wells and Studio C were some of our fondest memories.

There are too many kind things to say about John and Caroline; aside from being two incredibly accomplished artists they have created a beautiful retreat that is perfect for any nature explorer or art lover. Upon arrival, we were greeted by two of the most warm and kind people both of us had ever met. In the morning, we were excited to see we were staying in an incredible sculpture garden with a river right behind the property. One of the best parts of their studio is that you get to stay among both of their beautiful sculptures. Other highlights of our stay included: a well-stocked kitchen, an amazingly cozy wood-burning stove, and personal tours of their galleries and workshops.

John and Caroline were the perfect hosts! My husband and I wanted to get away from the city for a relaxing, romantic trip for my birthday. The pictures on Airbnb do not do this lovely space justice. It's open, airy and perfectly appointed. The bed is super comfortable and the space has numerous cozy seating options. The property itself is a sculpture garden displaying John and Caroline's breathtaking work along a lovely river. So very picturesque. At John's recommendation, we used provided snowshoes to hike to Auger Falls — it was the first time we've ever used snowshoes and we had a blast. Overall, it was exactly what we wanted and we will definitely be back. We have found our go-to place to stay for all our Adirondack adventures.
