The Retreat. One mile to Coop, 5 miles to DP, close to Breweries!

Glad you had a great stay Scott and thank you for your review!

I'm sorry you were disappointed Paula. I wish you had reached out while you were at the property to share your needs. I personally go in and clean the house with two other girls and know that the house is left in quite clean condition. I do not know what you're referring to when you say the water pressure was poor. The house is on a municipal water system and is usually quite functional.All of the AC units do work and I would have been happy to help you learn how to use them. The grill bottom was indeed in poor condition and has been replaced and I apologize for that.

Hi Mary... Pets are allowed but at the owners discretion and it is stated on the website that they need to be hypoallergenic. I needed to confirm that your dog was hypoallergenic because future guests can have allergies to dogs and that is a problem for them. Also it seemed logical to suggest , which I did, closing the doors to the bedrooms not being in use and was not a demand. I'm sorry you took offense at that. I did ask you to take the dog to certain areas to do its business because I do not have time to go searching the lawn to look for dog poop...an endless task for a host w/ several properties. Asking you to take your dog to a certain area is so I can avoid having my future guests (children playing in yard) step in something unpleasant.... And yes I have had some very negative experiences with guests bringing their dogs. and not being sensitive to future guests. It is precisely for this attitude , sadly, that I have removed pet guests from my other homes. I'm sorry you felt things in the kitchen were sticky I myself clean the kitchen very thoroughly. Perhaps you are referring to the wood countertops which are spot treated with natural mineral oil on occasion on change over day. The house takes quite the workout during the summer months with the Dreams Park guests and often needs refreshing and repairs beyond basic cleaning. Cleaning your dishes seems like a very basic courtesy. The pictures fairly represent the property.

Thank you for your feedback! It was an unusually humid week which is out of a hosts control. I'm sorry about the doors sticking which was due to the humidity. I am always available to help when needed so a call to fix that handle would have been great but thank you for taking care of it. You never know when a rental will need a repair, just like ones own home... It is always a surprise . Glad you enjoyed the terrific convenience of the location and the decor. The yard is always a hit! The Price is very good for the location, size and aesthetics of the property. Thank you

Hello Julia, I am so sorry that your were dissapointed in your stay at the Retreat. We take great pride in cleaning all of the properties with care. I personally am cleaning with 2 other ladies.The Retreat has been rented all summer long and you are correct in observing the high humidity during your stay. As a result of the uncharacteristicly wet and humid weather the spiders are in overdrive. they rebuild their delicate webs in an hour...We do go around capturing them but they do come back in this rural environment. I opt not to the spray the house due to the toxicity of the chemical spays. The spiders are few with maybe 3-4 through out the house at any time. Country living and the damp, humid weather can make them more productive. You did have a damp week and I am sorry for that. Everywhere people are experiencing dampness, including in my own home, due to the wet summer weather.. You may have read the reviews before you chose the Retreat for your stay...they are very positive. I am sorry you did not enjoy the property. Please reach out ot me so I can discuss a discount on any future stay. Many thanks Roberta
