Family NYE Stay

We enjoyed our second NYE trip here and once again it exceeded expectations. Unlike other homes that allow/tolerate dogs. This home truly welcomes them and let us really enjoy having them travel with us for the holidays. Our littles had plenty to do while the adults could spend quiet time together.

Another Great Visit to Evergreen Retreat

My 8 friends and I just enjoyed another wonderful visit to Evergreen Retreat. The home is so comfortable and well-appointed that it feels like we are in one of our own homes. Lisa and Rich always make sure we are well taken care of. This house, with the hot tub, media room, large dining table and amazing kitchen is just perfect for our Girls Weekend. We are already planning our return to Evergreen Retreat next Fall!

Thanksgiving

There’s plenty of space for all kinds of activities! We made use of the tennis/pickleball court, the jacuzzi, and all the other amenities provided in this home. There are so many things for every age group to find something to do. We all had so much fun and made lasting memories for everyone!

Incredible

Everything was handled efficiently, with the event I wanted to run having everything it could have possibly needed and more. Rich & Lisa were impeccable when it came to communicating when clarification was needed or general questions were asked, and the entire stay was made perfect by the great amenities offered within the location. Care is truly taken above and beyond what is expected to ensure your stay feels just like home!

Fun for all ages

We totally enjoyed our family get together. The location was equidistant for each of us, traveling from DC, IL, & NY. The interior was well appointed and comfortable. The 6 & 9 year old had a lot of fun on the rock climbing wall, the theatre room, and in the hot tub with their parents. Everyone enjoyed the pickleball/tennis court and the outdoor movies. The self ordained grill masters' loved the Blackstone! We would definitely return.

Family Gathering

We have been renting VRBO's for years. This is by far the best and most accurate listing we have found. The property was pristine and felt like home for the entire stay. We lacked for nothing. As a self proclaimed gourmet chef, I was in heaven with the kitchen and available utensils. Again, by far better than anything we have come across prior. My grandkids caught their first fish, played tennis, watched movies in the hot tub under the stars. We ALL want to go back. Perfect VRBO!!!!

Wonderful Winter Weekend

This home was perfect for our family. Lisa and Rich have thought of everything. The kitchen and bathrooms were fully stocked. They even supplied extra toiletries in case you forgot to pack yours. Coffee bar fully stocked! The house was spotless and the beds were very comfortable. Our grandchildren enjoyed the game room and theatre room. They even used the hot tub when the temperature was 4 degrees. Lisa and Rich were in contact with us throughout the entire process. They were wonderful hosts. Our entire family did not want to leave, so we definitely are staying here again! Best VRBO house we’ve ever rented!

Retreat and Recharge

Evergreen retreat lives up to it's name providing space for restoration and refreshment. Even though I was in charge of hosting our event, I came away feeling recharged by the beauty of the home and surrounding property. With tasteful, uncluttered, fresh decor and lovely views from every window our time at Evergreen Retreat provided just what our group needed. Plenty of opportunities for outdoor fun as well--hot tub, hiking, time on the lake...the list goes on.

Can I give more than 5 stars?!!!

I can't give enough praise to Rich and Lisa for their hospitality at The Retreat. They've thought of everything - the beds are so comfy, there's many places to sit and chat or drink coffee, the kitchen is fully equipped, and there's so many fun and unique things to do at the house: tennis, hot tub, rock wall. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! Your Retreat was truly that! We feel rejuvenated and will definitely be staying again!

Where do I start? There wasn't anything that wasn't perfect. My only advice to renters, DO NOT USE WAZE! It took me in the wrong direction. I switched to google and it took me right there!
