Backroads Retreat is a Nice Place
Owner was very kind and available. The place was very clean and well kept. Our stay was too short to fully explore the property but it looked worth doing so. If in the area we would stay again.

Great weekend away
I stayed with two buddies on a boys trip. We were looking for something surrounded by nature, and we found that! Curt (the owner) gave me a call before I showed up to tell me about the place a bit. I HIGHLY recommend this place! Thank you for the great stay!

Perfect view for Meteor showers 😉
The privacy was amazing. So quiet and peaceful. We were able to watch the meteor shower and the skies were so dark every star was so clear! The owners were so kind and caring. Made it stay so great! Thank you for this wonderful experience 🤗

Short,.clean stay
We decided to turn our day trip into an overnight and booked this last minute. Host was responsive, house was very clean, had everything we needed to make spaghetti for dinner, and plenty of clean towels. Host even set out microwave popcorn, which was very sweet.
