Guests should bring mosquito spray, protective clothing and minimize opening doors. Wild Blueberry plants are abundant on the property and start in late July early August. No limit on how many you can pick. The Paradise area tends to get a lot of snow which translates into lots of spring melt making this ideal for blueberries. Cranberries can also be found in the Paradise area. Note blackout dates due to snow melt and breakdown of snowmobile trail. This would make a great place for a solo or group retreat away from intense city life. Any preppers out there might gain some valuable experience from the off grid design of this cabin as well as testing your survival skills in the deep woods.

We had a really great time staying on this property for our trip. It is quiet and peaceful, and a great location for a day trip or a drive down the road to town or to the lighthouse. The road coming in is a bit sand soft but we didn't have any problems with an AWD vehicle. There is another cabin right nearby and we actually had a campfire with our neighbors and enjoyed having them over. It really had a bit of everything we needed. We would definitely book again if we visit Paradise in the future.

We had a great time. The river and cabin were great. If your looking for privacy this isn’t the place though as there is a cabin right next door that overlooks your fire ring. We got lost trying to find it as directions could improve. The black flies and bugs were awful. Professional treatment of bugs would be a recommendation. Trails were great. Tons of things to do in the area. We swam right out front and went fishing right down the road. The Cabin was very cleaned and well supplied. Paul was a great host
