Beautiful Sucluded Romantic
The property was Gorgeous very secluded and comfortable. The sounds of the wildlife was amazing! The bed was extremely comfortable, 5 Stars all the way!
Cabin was very clean and well kept. We did have issues getting in the cabin as the electronic door lock would not take our code but was able to call and they were able to get us in quickly!

Hi Dave! Thank you so much for your great review. We're glad that you are pleased and you enjoyed your stay at the Couple's Retreat! We hope to host you again soon!
The host was very welcoming and easy to reach, though we didn’t experience any issues during our stay. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described, and the hot tub was a great bonus. I do recommend bringing bottled water, as the tap water wasn’t the best. I like that it feels “off grid” but there are plenty of activities close to enjoy, as well.

Awesome place, it was great to sit out on the porch and hear nothing but wildlife. And the cabin had all we needed and then some. We look forward to going back.

What an amazing cabin. We loved the quiet location and the cabin was well stocked with everything you could need. Alison checked in with us throughout our stay to ensure we were settled in and to see if we had any questions. We loved waking up in the morning to see peacocks walking by. We can't wait to stay here again soon!

As soon as we walked in, we were in awe of how adorable the cabin was. It is a very modern and comfy cabin. The surrounding property was so peaceful. We would definitely stay here again! I wish we had more time to stay longer. We spent a lot of time at Touch of Nature this weekend and the cabin was a quick, easy drive. Watch out for the deer at night!
