Wildwood Den was a wonderful little place. The house was very clean and well-kept. Fenced yard kept our dog safe, the firepit was awesome, loved the patio lights - made evenings kinda magical. The location was great for exploring the many hiking trails available (which we did!) Would definitely stay here again.

Cute place, enjoyed being able to bring our pet and having a fenced space!

Nice place but would consider upgrading the mattress, pillows and sheets in the main bedroom. We found these items to be uncomfortable and would have preferred better quality.

We will be coming back!

Our tiny home had absolutely everything you could need for a three night stay. We enjoyed kayaking and canoeing, the water is absolutely beautiful. We took a hike which was worth it and gorgeous. Enjoyed all the little unique shops they recommended. Highly recommend Papa Ron's Pizza and Italian Steakhouse, the pizza is amazing!

Fantastic Getaway

This place was amazing. We have stayed in a few places many times but this place had EVERYTHING! What I mean by that is they had all the essentials but the added extras like bandaids, frosty mugs in the freezer, a heater in the screened in patio are just a few things that made this house a home! Very cozy and comfortable place. We will definitely stay at this location again..

Nice mini vaca

Clean, cozy, and convenient. The fenced yard was a great for the dogs and the house was set back in the woods for a little extra privacy. Very nice.

The perfect place to unwind!

The owners of Wildwood Den thought of every detail in creating the perfect retreat in the woods! We loved the coffee bar, the fire pit (complete with firewood and fire tools), board games, blankets for cool nights in the woods, lovely deck areas, screened-in porch for morning coffee, fenced yard, and comfy beds! We enjoyed ourselves immensely!

A comfy spot

A charming tiny house. The real draw is the outdoor space. A relaxing fire pit and a large fenced area for your dog to run. Note: there is no view of the lake from this property.

Excellent short vacation

First, the staff at Retreat couldn't have been more prepared. The Wildwood Den was stocked with anything you could possibly need & even things you never would have thought of. We loved the fenced area where we could let our dogs out to roam. The patio areas were beautiful. When we called for food recs the recommendations were spot on! We will definitely be returning, likely with friends & use the Retreat properties again!

Great place to stay!

We stayed here as a family of four for a weekend trip! The whole area was really cute and felt very safe. We enjoyed the outdoor fire space and the fenced in yard was perfect for our dog. The inside space we good for us, but I think it could be tight for 4 adults. We used the upstairs space for our boys, and they loved it! The living room space was comfortable and it was nice to have a washer and dryer. Also, the kitchen was well stocked with anything we could have needed, including a fancy coffee maker! We would love to stay here again!

Fabulous

I spent 3.5 weeks in a tiny house so I could watch my boy's opening baseball season. It was amazing and so very cute! Clean. Easy to get to campus. Very accomodating and flexible! Will definitely rent again for the remaining of this season and for 3 more baseball seasons!
