IMPORTANT:
1- We provide a swing set for our younger guests' enjoyment. To ensure their safety, we require adult supervision at all times. Please note that injuries are the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the establishment. The swing set is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years, weighing no more than 100 pounds, to prevent damage to the equipment. Any damages to the swing set will incur a replacement fee. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines to keep a safe and fun environment for everyone.
2- Sweet Retreat is somewhat close to a train track, and while the sound is gentle enough not to disturb, it’s worth noting if absolute silence is crucial for your stay. Please keep this in mind when booking.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Super clean, comfortable beds, home away from home. We didn’t cook there but if you needed to, you have everything you need. Transparent about being a train town but you can barely hear them, so it’s not an issue. We would definitely stay again!

We had a great stay! The house was very clean. The neighborhood was quiet and the nearby train wasn't disturbing at all, only heard a slight rumbling at times. The kitchen had everything we needed for cooking meals and every little detail to make our stay comfortable was thought of.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our 3 night stay here. The home has been fully renovated, seemingly very recently, and everything was very clean. Rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and well laid out. Furnishings are comfortable. There is a large, modern kitchen which is extremely well supplied. The Host is responsive and very well organized. Definitely a 10!

Fantastic stay

The property was very clean and well maintained. Communication with the hosts was easy and prompt. All of the rooms were very comfortable and nicely decorated. Yes, you will hear trains, but we did not find them intrusive. Overall, a wonderful stay.

Wonderful Stay!

We 4 adults loved our long weekend at this lovely, comfortable house. It is beautifully decorated, thoughtfully equipped, and sparkling clean. Communications with hosts were easy and check-in and out instructions were clear and reasonable. It would also be great for folks with kids, as it includes baby/toddler equipment and a fun swingset in the ample yard. If we return to the area, we'll stay here again!
