The Island A-Frame is a gentle reminder that enough really is enough. Enough comfort, enough nature, enough quiet, and enough adventure to leave you feeling full instead of fried. Tucked into a wooded corner of 1 Big Sustainable Island, this cozy A-frame invites you to slow down: sleep deeply, cook simple meals, sway in a hammock, warm yourself by the woodstove, and listen as loons and crackling fires take turns filling the air.

Exactly as described - a beautiful, idyllic, off-the-grid home on a gorgeous island. Kent made us feel so welcome. We hope to come back sometime!
This place is magical and Jo and Kent’s love for it shines through from beginning to end. You won’t be disappointed!
This has got to be one of our favorite Airbnb experiences ever. The house is adorable, the island amazing and Jo and Kent are fantastic hosts. Everyone in our family including the dogs want to go back!!!
What a lovely experience! Joanne and Kent are wonderful hosts that go above and beyond. They were accommodating, responsive kind, friendly, helpful.... we could go on and on. <br/>A-frame is clean, comfortable, well designed with lots of character. We had a fire pit, hammock and a sheltered cooking area. The outhouse was clean, well thought out and pleasant to use. The beach was our highlight. Crystal clean water, shallow for several feet, perfect for floats or swimming. <br/>If you are looking for an off the grid cabin with swimming and boating and hosts that get joy from sharing their beautiful land we can not recommend this place enough.
This is a very special place and experience. Don’t miss it! Kent and Joanne are so very welcoming, kind, and helpful and their story so interesting. We stayed in the Aframe which was charming and comfortable and had everything we needed. We left reluctantly, vowing to come back and stay longer.
We loved our stay on 1BSI so much! <br/>Joanne and Kent were incredible hosts and so friendly and welcoming. The A-Frame was beautiful, comfortable and clean.<br/>I would highly recommend staying on the island! It was a magical experience that we will never forget.
The A frame was exceptional! Jo and Kent were outstanding hosts and we look forward to returning.
This place is a paradise in the middle of a lake. We barely saw any humans during our stay and as we explored the amazing island. The water was incredible - we canoed and swam and did the rope swing. The A frame is adorable and very impressive - had all the cooking supplies we needed! Jo and Kent were amazing hosts - they really go above and beyond! This was such a special trip and we’ll definitely be back!
Love the location and cabin!
This was by far the best Airbnb experience I have ever had, and I have had some great ones !!! The island is beautiful and so romantic! Jo and Kent are the best hosts you could possibly have. The house is clean, comfortable and everything we needed was there. Cannot say how great it really was!!! So peaceful!!!
