This is definitely a retreat. The wrap around balcony is really nice and on a clear night you see a beautiful blanket of stars. This was a mixed experience for me and my husband. We enjoyed the retreat part but 2 out of 4 days we were there, There was construction, weeding, and beeping almost all day on the adjacent property. As the place is pretty remote and rural, it was difficult to get away for a little bit without it being a production. Area restaurants are mediocre at best but we really enjoyed the farmers market, and the geothermal pool.
