About this property

Retreat for Personal Renewal

Located in Laurelwood Valley on the Vineyard Scenic Tour Route, this retreat is surrounded by hills and farm fields. Its quiet and natural setting is perfect for a personal renewal. Supplies to help with this include reading material on dreams, spirituality and meditation, art material and a small sandtray.

Outside, you can take walks in the nearby hills, visit Hagg Lake Park, the quaint towns close by, the valley wineries, or spend the day at the beach, a 1 hr. drive away.
The space
Main entrance is into the living area that has a fully equipped kitchenette with microwave, sm. fridge, coffee maker, lg. toaster oven, and a 2-burner electric unit. The kitchenette is fully stocked and outside is a gas BBQ that can easily be used for cooking and grilling. Above the cabinet in the kitchenette is a lg. 55" Smart TV. Off the kitchenette is a second bathroom and laundry area.
The highlight of the apt. is a spacious Master Suite with a king-sized bed, a futon, and lounge chairs for reclining. Big, open windows surround the room that create the sense of camping outside. The suite has a lg. bathroom with a shower and walk-in closet. To add to the charm, the MS opens onto a patio with table and chairs for eating out, BBQing and taking in the surrounding view and evening sunsets.
The entire grounds are private, including the front lawn. A vegetable garden with blueberry and raspberry bushes, and asparagus, is on the backside of the house in the host living area where you'll have the freedom to roam and pick as desired.
