The best revenge for hard work is harder relaxation, and the ideal getaway is The Retreat, a luxurious and scenic waterfront property where you and your guests are encouraged to relax, reward, and pamper yourselves in splendor. Nestled atop a bluff between Chicago and Milwaukee is a completely renovated 2-story, 6 bedroom, 4 full bathroom, 4000 sq. ft. home on a ½ acre of land and 150' of pure unobstructed Lake Michigan tranquility.
Let the endless sunrise greet be your wake-up call and Orion and Cassiopeia entertain you from the heavens at night.
