Nestled in the countryside but close enough to local towns and hikes, Brookside Retreat offers the perfect balance of comfort and connection to nature.

Whether you’re here for a romantic weekend, a family getaway, or a solo retreat to reset—this is your place to pause.

I believe homes carry energy—and this one carries peace. I’ve tried to fill it with warmth, comfort, and the little things that matter: extra blankets, a stocked coffee cabinet, and a guest book where you’re invited to leave your story behind.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 3 bathrooms, and a patio. There's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms and a dining area. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.
