Exceptional location for team retreat

I brought my international team to this house for a retreat and it was perfect! The space was beautiful, clean and perfectly set up to support our group. The host was a great communicator and so kind! The house instructions were very clear and helpful. I would love to rent this place again.

Great place for large group

We came to town for the P!NK concert. There were 12 ladies staying at the Deacon. Such a lovely place and so much space. It was a quick trip but it was perfect for us. Wish we could have stayed an extra night to enjoy the place more! Plenty of room, large bedrooms. Location was great for us. Highly recommend.
