Bachelorette weekend
Me and girlies all had a fantastic stay at "the retreat" The space was amazing for a large group. Communication was open, easy, and friendly. The hosts accommodated our needs for extra tables as well. I definitely see us renting this space again in the warmer months because the property was beautiful and also had a lot of outdoor features. Thank you for such a comfortable stay and memorable weekend

Relaxing weekend at The Retreat
I stayed at The Retreat for a combined bachelor/bachelorette weekend with my fiancée and a group of our friends. It was an excellent place to unwind and spend time together. We were annoyed at times by the noise from the freeway nearby and the airplanes overhead but the multitude of amenities available at the house and the great communication (and signage) from the host, Robert more than made up for the noise. 10/10 would return and recommend to others. Thanks again, Robert!

The Retreat: A Relaxing Oasis
We spent several days at the Retreat over the 4th of July. What a perfect property with so much to do! From the inground pool to the fish-stocked pond to the volleyball net to the game room, there are so many activities for everyone. And our dogs loved the opportunity to run through the manicured seven acres! Would stay again.

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!

ALL the amenities and space for a family gathering!
This is the second time we stayed at The Retreat. LOTS of space inside and out for our family to gather. Kids age 3-10 could not get enough of the heated pool and the adults especially enjoyed the hot tub. We added an 'exrra' and had a small family reunion one of the afternoons and the place was perfect for this. Game room such a bonus when it rained. We didn't need to leave the property but some checked out 7 Mile Fair. Communication with the owner was timely. I'm sure the family will vote to return to The Retreat in the future!

Our New Fun Place
It was a great little place, close to everything but tucked away from everyone. It has everything u need for a quick fun filled getaway. The owner was a great host, he was quick to answer all questions we had prior to booking and was just as swift to answer after we confirmed. It was truly an all in 1 fun place to be with the family. If it wasn't for the desire to visit the zoo, we would have remained on property. I thank the owner for creating such a sweet little oasis!
