Guest reviews
9.4"Hot tub stargazing retreat"
The Retreat was incredible, only a few minutes outside of town, but it felt like the middle of nowhere. The stargazing was unlike anything any of us had ever experienced, the hot tub was incredible, and breakfast was delicious! Our only regret is only staying one day!
"5th visit and it gets better every time."
Great place to stay. My go to for every road trip now. Much better than a noisy roadside motel for about the same money. Jen is amazing, breakfast awesome, and the hot tub is perfect at the end of a long drive. Highly recommended.
