We live just down the road and work on the property in our spare time. We and our team handle the maintenance and management with as little interruption to guests as possible. Routine outdoor maintenance for the 40 acre property is typically scheduled after 10am for lawn, pond, hot tub, firewood, etc. Hot tub maintenance is communicated with guests in advance.
We are in a rural location with plenty of space between neighbors. Even with space, sound can travel. We ask that you be considerate especially after 10pm. While The Retreat is set back from the road by over 300ft, you can still hear some light traffic noise from the front porch occasionally. Across the driveway is a separate short term rental, The Barn on Evergreen Pond, another amazing property by Gatheryng. The only shared amenities are the sport court, the fishing dock behind the sports court, and the trash cans by the driveway.
Long driveway and private parking for 10–15 vehicles. Separate from the adjacent property (The Barn); only sport court, fishing dock, and driveway trash bins are shared.
Gather with family and friends in a spacious home with a huge 12-person hot tub, sport courts for pickleball and basketball, indoor games, movie screens, and big areas to relax and eat together.
Enjoy a professionally built 9ft tall wall, soak in the 12-person hot tub/swim spa, or watch movies on the 120" indoor or outdoor projection screens. Play pickleball, tennis, or basketball on the sports court, then relax in the fenced backyard hammocks.
