We stayed at Life's Good Retreat for my sons destination wedding at The Pretty Place. The property was perfect for what we needed and was within 30 minutes of the venue. The house and amenities were beautiful. It just couldn't have been more perfect! We were so thankful to have everyone so close together but also have their own space. I would definitely recommend the Life's Good Retreat!

Clean and accomodating

We really enjoyed our stay here. Our older kids were able to have their own space in the cottages while we had a little privacy in the main house. Host is extremely responsive and property was immaculate. We will stay here again.

Fantastic in every way!

The house and cabins were perfect! The house was very comfortable and well stocked. We had a family reunion across all ages and everyone had a great time. The owner checked in on us often to make sure everything was ok. The best was arriving and seeing the house and cabins decorated for Christmas! thank you for going above and beyond. We’d love to be back!

80th Birthday Celebration

This was an amazing experience from the very first interaction. Houses and property are beautiful. We had 16 adults There is plenty of space to get away for alone time and great space for large group to be together. We spent all of our time on the large spacious wrap around porch. The local coffee left for use was wonderful. Owner left beautiful flowers and a sweet note for my mother in laws 80th bday. Highly recommend for large or small group. We can not wait to rent again soon. House is spotless.
