Peaceful Weekend
There were 5 of us for a semi-annual retreat weekend. We had a very relaxing time. All the beds were comfortable and clean. The kitchen has everything you need to make meals. The BBQ was in good working condition. Small minor things the fridge light was burnt out and we could have used a few more seats for our movie as the living room only seats 4. But we loved everything and Tom the outside resident cat was a real hit. He was very friendly and checked on us every morning and even went for a walk with us. Brooke was wonderful and answered all our questions before check-in. The first person to arrive drove too far and Brooke was happy to personally take them down to the house and give them all the check-in instructions firsthand. We will be back. Thank you Brooke for everything.

Retreat Weekend
It was very nice. The beds, lighting and seating could be improved for sure the seating in the living room isn't enough and the chair in the corner feels like it is going to collapse when you sit in it. The lighting is so bad we needed lamps to help us do our puzzles and if they weren't burnt out lights then they were so dim you couldn't see very well, especially the pantry. Overall very lovely host just could use some improvements.

Amazing!
My girlfriends and I wanted a mom's weekend away, and this was everything we could wish for and more! We loved being able to spend the day at Sylvan, and then come back to a beautiful home surrounded by trees. I felt like we got both the beach and the forest. Although it's about 30 min. away from Sylvan, we were glad we were away from the busyness of the town, and loved that we could see the stars and enjoy the fire pit when we got back. We all loved it, and I just want to find any excuse to go back. We all also noticed how it seemed like their appliances and cooking tools and everything else weren't cheap and just found at some garage sale. The home was clean and the hosts were quick to respond to any questions. I would highly recommend this place!
