Sweet Retreat: Lodge and Event Venue

I absolutely adore this place! It’s definitely a home away from home. It’s secluded enough to be quiet and peaceful, but it’s close enough to local all the attractions to get out and enjoy. There is a nice fire pit with wood available, a hot tub, grill, entertainment system, scores of books, and even a beautiful outdoor wedding venue! The kitchen is to die for! Honestly there’s no words for how great it really is. The house itself is absolutely gorgeous, and the host is the sweetest lady ever! This place is definitely the spot! I’m coming here as often as I can.
