This is a nice property to relax at and enjoy the scenery around the home. Not too far from town and we enjoyed our time completely. The home is small but bright and modern, the bed was comfortable and the kitchen was sparkling clean.

It was great! My one suggestion would be to put a small 2 top bistro table and chair near the window facing the driveway, for a little extra seating at meal time. We had 4 of us traveling, and one person had to stand or eat alone.

My wife and I enjoyed our short stay at Moonlight Retreat. The house was very clean and well furnished. Although small, it was fine just for the two of us. It is very secluded and quiet. We were not able to see or hear any other residents and could hear very faint road noise. It is a bit difficult to get to and I don't sugguest going in for the first time after dark. Overall it was a great experience for us.
