Great house with the perfect location! Hosts were easy to work with and the house was clean and nice. We enjoyed our stay very much! There is an air conditioning unit in the living room making the living area comfortable. Several fans are available throughout the house as well. It was definitely on the hot side for sleeping and we couldn’t open windows because the air quality was so bad from the wildfires. This was the only complaint. Otherwise the house was perfect.

Perfect location

Our expectations were exceeded with our stay. The location was about a block away from Main Street to be able to find several dining options in the evening. Great location for all the area's activities - whitewater rafting, hiking, hot springs, fly fishing, and more. Highly recommend.

A/C but not. This place is cute with an awesome backyard space. The owners are responsive and very nice. The one thing l would recommend is that they take down the part of the description that says the unit has AC. It does have an AC unit - BUT it is a tiny unit meant to cool 1 room and it is mounted in the front of the house in what looks like a bay window or add on. The practical implication is that this small space is cool but the bedrooms which are through a doorway and into a hallway and through another doorway are not cooled at all. If you do not care about the rooms being cool when you sleep in the summer this place is lovely and I would recommend it. If you do care for comfort or you have older people, or you have kids that go to sleep early and don’t want to have the window open, the description is off. We were there during a concert weekend where the windows being open meant you could hear music until after midnight and could hear concert goes returning late into the night. Other than that the place was cute and clean.

What a lovely property! The home was clean and well stocked. Communication was great and the home was everything they promised it would be. It was only a block from Main Street and close to all the activities. It was a great place for our family to gather as we celebrated the wedding of one of our kids. Highly recommend the Sweet Retreat!

Beautiful, Spacious & Family-Friendly

This property was absolutely beautiful and had plenty of space for our two families, including babies and kids — we could’ve easily fit a few more people. The location couldn’t be better — just a short walk to everything, including a local ice cream spot just a block away! The home was clean, check-in was smooth, and it made for a super comfortable stay.One small heads-up: the bathrooms didn’t have any soap and had very limited toiletries, so just be sure to bring your own.Overall, it was a perfect place for families and we’re already looking forward to coming back!
