I stayed at The Retreat with my family - 6 young adult kids, my parents, my brother + familly - for a long weekend. We gathered with other extended family in the area for a family reunion.
Highlights:
1. The owner is very responsive and helpful throughout the entire process.
2. The property is AMAZING! Honestly the pictures don't do it justice. Lots of room for yard games, fire pit, fishing, stand up paddle boards, peddle boat, row boat, the pool... It was so perfect for us! The grounds were so well cared for and absolutely beautiful.
3. The kitchen is well stocked with cooking/serving items. We fed a crowd of nearly 40 all day every day we were there and it had everything we needed. Also 2nd fridge in the sunroom was perfect as a beverage fridge.
4. The game room was a hit! We had a lively ping pong battle all weekend.
5. Plenty of space inside! Thankfully the weather cooperated for us but we could have easily moved indoors
6. Plenty of outdoor seating - chairs, tables, pop up shade tents! Fantastic!
7. Plenty of towels and linens and having washer/dryer with the pool especially was awesome
Drawbacks:
1. The house is dated. This is not a big deal to us, but it is what it is. Could use updating.
We gather for family reunions regularly and with quite a bit of family in this area I could absolutely see renting this space again! It was fantastic!! The owner was awesome to work with. Convenient location near the interstate but not loud. Soooo many great things!
