IMPORTANT:
1- We provide a swing set for our younger guests' enjoyment. To ensure their safety, we require adult supervision at all times. Please note that injuries are the responsibility of the supervising adult, not the establishment. The swing set is suitable for children aged 3 to 8 years, weighing no more than 100 pounds, to prevent damage to the equipment. Any damages to the swing set will incur a replacement fee. We appreciate your cooperation in following these guidelines to keep a safe and fun environment for everyone.
2- Sweet Retreat is somewhat close to a train track, and while the sound is gentle enough not to disturb, it’s worth noting if absolute silence is crucial for your stay. Please keep this in mind when booking.

We couldn't have been more pleased with our 3 night stay here. The home has been fully renovated, seemingly very recently, and everything was very clean. Rooms are spacious, tastefully decorated and well laid out. Furnishings are comfortable. There is a large, modern kitchen which is extremely well supplied. The Host is responsive and very well organized. Definitely a 10!
