We enjoyed the "Retreat" as a place to unwind and prepare for the next. It's very comfortable and the patio-like living room was so pretty! There were yummy goodies for us in the kitchen too! Such a simple, but much appreciated, welcoming gesture. We came prepared for "no electricity" as the description states, but all the necessities were run from batteries or gas. We were over-prepared, LOL! Thank you Joe and Alma! We will definitely keep the "Woodland Retreat" in mind for future visits. :) ##### Melissa M.
