A week in RetroRetreat Heaven
We were looking for a place to relax and enjoy the lake with family for July 4th. This suited all our needs! Comfortable and well appointed for the basics-plus! The home is on a quiet cul de sac and the most you hear is the nightly frog chorus. Our family trickled in over the course of the week and the real fun happened over the weekend. The dock is set up to enjoy swimming off of, and tying floaties to. Plenty of shade and sun areas. We rented a boat nearby to take the family out for more lake fun. The home and property had plenty of everything we needed. The rules are basic and simple. The walkway to the dock is lit, though like most lake houses, wear your rugged water shoes down - there’s lots of nature along the steep flagstone path. With one college kid in our group we learned there was plenty of hot water for her AND the rest of us!
