The finished lower level offers two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a large family room with a smart TV, foosball, and plenty of games. Step outside to your private backyard oasis, featuring a large pool (open through the end of September), hot tub, fire pit, and an expansive patio perfect for lounging or entertaining.
The fun continues in the "garage hangout", complete with ping pong, darts, and plenty of space for friendly family competitions.

Whether you’re splashing in the pool, building sandcastles at the beach, or roasting marshmallows by the fire, Ferris Retreat has everything you need for an unforgettable getaway. So go ahead — be like Ferris, take a “day off,” and book your stay today!
