Everything was fine. Only 2 washcloths for 2 people for 2 nights in primary bath. I did find one extra in laundry room. Enjoyed the pond but all the fish we caught were so tiny.

Clean, Wonderful, Peaceful Retreat

I can't recommend this retreat enough. The lodging was spotless and so beautifully decorated. The location was very quiet and peaceful. I am chemically sensitive and they assured me ahead of time that they accommodated for that. This is the first vacation rental I have ever stayed in that I didn't have issues with Chemical sensitivities. They have all the bases covered. They have a perfect outdoor space you can enjoy, from games to walks or relaxing in the sun. There is a wonderful firepit. We didn't get to use it because of our schedule, but we enjoyed the Adirondack chairs around the fire pit. They have a large hot tub that we didn't take advantage of either but it looked wonderful in it's nice covered area overlooking the pond. We enjoyed the screen porch to sit and watch the rain on the pond. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was large and accommodating. We enjoyed meeting the sweet family, who were our hosts, as they lived next door. They are very to themself unless you seek them out. We had no complaints and will definitely stay here again. We hated to leave!
