Mel was the most wonderful host. We loved all of her extra touches abs generous offering of food and treats. She thought of every detail for a delightful stay. The setting was beautiful and it was so great to meet all of the sweet farm animals. The room was lovely, very comfortable, and immaculate. We will very highly recommend a stay at Mel’s Retreat to our friends, and we will definitely return ourselves. Thank you for the wonderful experience!
