About the host
Hosted by Serghei Croitoru
We’re hosts who value comfort, respect, and meaningful stays. The Dream House Retreat was created as a place we would want to stay ourselves — calm, well cared for, and designed for people who appreciate quality time and a peaceful setting.
We enjoy spending time outdoors, slowing down from busy schedules, and creating spaces that help others relax and reconnect. Hosting allows us to share that experience with guests who are looking for more than just a place to sleep, but a home where they can truly unwind.
We take pride in maintaining the property, setting clear expectations, and being responsive when needed, while still respecting our guests’ privacy. Our goal is for every guest to feel welcome, comfortable, and confident that they are staying in a space that’s thoughtfully managed.
We love hosting families, couples, and small groups who treat the home with care and enjoy the retreat atmosphere. When you stay at The Dream House Retreat, you’re staying somewhere that’s been created with intention and looked after with pride.
Why they chose this property
We chose this location because it offers something increasingly rare space, quiet, and a true connection to nature. Set on 6.5 acres, the property provides privacy without feeling isolated, allowing guests to slow down and enjoy their surroundings at their own pace.
The area is defined by open land, forests, and wide skies. Days are peaceful and unhurried, while evenings are calm and quiet, perfect for enjoying the sauna, hot tub, or simply sitting outside under the stars. Wildlife sightings are common, and the natural setting creates a sense of retreat that’s ideal for families, couples, and anyone looking to unplug.
What we enjoy most is the balance: the feeling of being away from it all while still being within a reasonable drive of local lakes, parks, and small-town essentials. The neighborhood encourages a slower rhythm morning coffee outdoors, time spent together without distractions, and restful nights surrounded by nature.
This setting is about simplicity, comfort, and space to breathe the kind of place where meaningful moments happen naturally.
What makes this property unique
What makes The Dream House Retreat unique is the way it combines space, comfort, and wellness in a truly private setting. Situated on 6.5 acres, the property offers a sense of seclusion that’s hard to find, while still being thoughtfully designed for families, couples, and small groups.
The home itself provides 1,800 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, making it comfortable for longer stays and group getaways. Beyond the interior, the experience extends outdoors with a private sauna, hot tub, and cold plunge, allowing guests to create their own wellness routine in a natural environment.
Unlike many rentals, this retreat is intentionally calm and uncluttered — no party atmosphere, just space to relax, reconnect, and enjoy time together. The large property allows children to play freely, adults to unwind, and everyone to enjoy privacy without feeling crowded.
Every detail was chosen to support a peaceful stay, from the quiet surroundings to the clear house guidelines that help maintain the home’s condition. The result is a place that feels personal, cared for, and genuinely restorative — not just a place to stay, but a place to slow down and reset.
