Respite Retreat

We stayed for a long weekend, a group of old friends from all over the country who gather to catch up on our lives, remind each other to rest and relax and to nourish our bodies with healthy home cooked food that we prepare together as a family. A few daytime outings to hike and enjoy the outdoors, a dinner at a local restaurant, and fabulous massages across the street complemented our planned activities for the weekend. We were able to do this in an exquisite setting that has paid special attention to the environment and has made a concerted commitment to organic products and healthy living. The kitchen was very well appointed, the sitting areas were wonderfully inviting, bathrooms were truly beautiful to behold, and the bedrooms were peaceful refuges that invited healing restful sleep. We delighted in sitting on the front porch in the evening, rocking in our chairs, belly laughing with each other and watching the fireflies, something some of us hadn’t seen since childhood years. We also enjoyed some time reflecting on our lives as we strolled the property and listened to the trickling water in the pond in the backyard gardens. We truly enjoyed our time and would recommend this haven to any and all!
