Joanna’s place is truly a gorgeous and relaxing retreat. The place is roomy and spotlessly clean. Communication was quick and check in and out couldn’t have been easier. We only had one night at her place, but would’ve enjoyed staying more nights if we had been in the area longer.
The space has 2 living/sleeping areas on each end separated by a kitchen, bathroom, and entryway in the middle. One sleeping area serves as a lounge with a small sofa and television. The other sleeping area has a small indoor dining table. Both spaces have floor to ceiling windows that look out onto a beautiful green space. We made a wonderful breakfast from the welcome basket Joanna left with fresh eggs from her chickens, homemade jam, brown bread, coffee, tea and milk. The kitchen is well stocked for cooking.
We didn’t get a chance to grill out and dine on the gorgeous wood table outside on the deck which overlooks a well manicured garden. We did, however, take a morning walk through the gate in the garden that leads to a portion of the farm where the alpacas (and sheep) happily come to great you and eat from your hand the food Joanna provides.
We didn’t meet her when we checked in, but she popped out to see us right before we left and we had a nice chat. She even gave us some travel pointers for the remainder of our journey that were very helpful. We highly recommend Misty River retreat, it’s worth the drive to the Riverlands for the hospitality and tranquility.
