Summary: The Waterfall Retreat truly lives up to its name—this place is absolutely beautiful and one of the most relaxing homes we've ever stayed in. I almost did not want to leave the house, but we had graduation activities for my daughter! The constant, soothing sound of the waterfalls/river created the perfect white noise, adding to the peaceful atmosphere from the moment we arrived.Suzanne was excellent to work with and her communication was responsive and prompt.The house was well-stocked with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The beds were comfortable, and the sheets were soft and high-quality—just one of many thoughtful touches throughout the home. The layout worked perfectly for our family of six, offering plenty of space to gather together and also spread out when needed.If you're looking for a serene, nature-filled escape that still has all the comforts of home, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again!
