The screened porch is a favorite location at Happy Retreat! Views are simply amazing from here. We have a large deck off the screen porch for grilling, dining, soaking in the hot tub and relaxing overlooking the lake. Towards the waters edge we have a large deck and covered pavilion with a fan and stone fireplace, with firewood provided. Enjoy sunbathing, time around the fireplace roasting s’mores and dining by the lake.
