The Woodland Retreat is a little slice of heaven. It was absolute zen to enjoy coffee each morning while overlooking the peaceful forest behind this beautiful home. The bird chatter was the soundtrack of every lovely day, and the song of coyotes was an enchanting melody to hear before bed. One of the highlights of each day was getting to watch the handsome wild turkeys that live in Fontenelle Forest behind the home, they were so charming and entertaining.The amenities were endless in this exceptional home; thoughtful extras, luxury bath products, a variety of cozy blankets, a chef's dream kitchen, abundant outdoor gathering space, marvelous beds and bedding, and a million other details combined to create a luxe vacation to remember. Not to mention the dream location, so convenient to shopping, entertainment, etc. yet felt like we were in a secluded forest sanctuary.The property manager Tara was a dream to communicate with. She was prompt in answering any questions we had and truly went above and beyond to ensure that we had a family gathering that created just the sweetest memories. We will definitely return to this treasure of a rental.
The loveliest turkeys you'll ever see.
